After his conviction on prostitution charges, Sean Combs faces up to 20 years in prison, though such a harsh punishment is unlikely.

After a seven-week trial, Sean Combs was convicted on two of the five felony charges against him, but in a boon to the embattled mogul, he was acquitted on the most serious counts. The government raised concerns that, if released, Combs could “disregard orders from this court,” citing evidence that the mogul “continued to commit a litany of crimes” — such as alleged abuse and drug use — even after he knew he was under federal investigation. Combs’ attorney Marc Agnifilo, however, pushed for his client’s immediate release on bond, saying he would be “nothing short of a fool” to violate a court order.
