Sean “Diddy” Combs will be sentenced Friday in a federal courtroom in New York City after being found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The 55-year-old hip-hop star has been kept at a federal jail in Brooklyn since his arrest in September 2024 and has been turned down for bail many times.
In July, a jury found Combs guilty of flying people around the country for sex, including his girlfriends and male sex workers. This broke a federal law called the Mann Act. He was found not guilty of more serious charges like racketeering and sex trafficking that could have sent him to prison for life. The trial went on for almost two months and had women talking about how they were beaten, threatened, sexually attacked and blackmailed by Combs.
