Diddy drops push to move up sentencing on prostitution-related charges

The judge in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial has set a sentencing date, just days after the music mogul was convicted of prostitution-related offenses and acquitted of two more serious charges.

Judge Arun Subramanian ordered the rapper’s sentencing date to be October 3. The move comes after Diddy’s defense attorneys argued they wanted a sentencing date as soon as possible after the verdict was dealt. However, both prosecutors and defense attorneys agreed to the October 3 date, and Diddy’s team dropped their request for expedited sentencing.
