After an intense seven -week judgment in New York, marked by feelings of testimonies, the judgment of the American rapper P. Diddy was expected this Friday, October 3. The hyp -hop tycoon, Sean Com combs, his real name, was declared guilty last July of “transport of people for prostitution.”
On the other hand, the most serious events in the trial were acquitted: those of “sex traffic” in two of his former colleagues and that of the “criminal association”. This relaxation, described as “great victory” by its lawyers, avoids it from the life of life, but not the absolute of any imprisonment.
20 years in maximum prison
The two positions related to the “transport of people for prostitution purposes”, for whom he was convicted, are responsible for ten years in prison. The sentences are cumulative, the judge who decides the sentence, therefore, in theory to condemn the rapper to 20 years in prison.
The prosecutors wrote in documents paid to the procedure that, on the basis of the Federal Justice Directives, a sentence of 51 to 63 months in prison would be appropriate for the facts of “transport of persons for prostitution”. Between four and five years in prison. This does not avoid a longer long. The prosecutor of Maurene Comey who was waiting for a conviction for all the charges after the verdict in July a “long” sentence against the American producer.
Their lawyers want a slight 14 -month prison sentence, followed by probation, accompanied by attention obligations. If Puff Daddy were really sentenced to 14 months in prison, he would quickly recover his freedom.
The rap star has been imprisoned since September 2024 at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center and all the time that has already passed after the bars will be taken into account in the calculation of its final prayer.
His lawyers declared on September 23 that his client had already been “correctly punished”, having been imprisoned in “terrible conditions.”
After the verdict of the trial in July, their lawyers requested their bail release while waiting for the sentence to the sentence this Friday, October 3. A request rejected by Judge Arun Subramanian invoking a story of “violence” and “contempt for law” by the artist.
A presidential grace of Donald Trump?
The other possible result of this hypermediatal matter? A presidential grace of Donald Trump. P.Diddy, Nicole Westmoreland, assured CNN last August that there had been “conversations about a grace.” However, the US president does not seem very inclined to grant the artist to the three Grammy Awards and the fifteen platinum records.
“When I introduced myself in the elections, he was very hostile,” Donald Trump said in an interview with Newspaper August 2. The rapper had supported Joe Biden in the White House race in 2020. Previously, in 2017, he said “completely fucked to Donald Trump” during an interview with Daily beast. Adding “blacks are in the same shit situation. The mischief that takes place in Washington is not what worries us.”
The P.Diddy issue took its roots in the civil complaint filed in 2023 by the former RNB rapper girlfriend, Cassandra Ventura. As a couple with Sean combs from 2007 to 2018, Cassie, of the name of its artist, especially accused him of violation and submission to prostituted men. Then, very fast, they followed new complaints, emanating from other young women, who also accused him of assaults and sexual violence. A total of 120 victims were identified.
In his trial in New York, the rapper was accused of having forced women, including singer Cassie, and a former most recent companion who testified under the pseudonym “Jane”, to participate in sexual marathons with prostituted men while masturbating or filmed. And also to have implemented a criminal network, which was in the head, to organize these marathons called “monsters.”
