Diddy Files Appeal Against 50-Month Sentence in Federal Case
Sean 'Diddy' Combs has formally appealed his conviction and 50-month prison sentence for transportation to engage in prostitution. The notice, filed in federal court, challenges the judgment and seeks a reduced term. Prosecutors had pushed for over 11 years, while Combs requested 14 months—arguing time served should expedite release.
Judge Arun Subramanian imposed the sentence alongside a $500,000 fine and five years' probation, citing the need for 'real accountability' in cases involving abuse of women. Combs apologized during sentencing, calling his actions 'disgusting, shameful, and sick,' while attributing his behavior to being 'lost in excess.'
The appeal marks a new phase in the high-profile case, which saw Combs cleared of sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Legal observers note the MOVE signals a protracted battle ahead.
