Sean "Diddy" Combs was sentenced to 50 months (just over four years) in prison for two counts of transportation for the purposes of prostitution. He was also fined $500,000 and ordered to undergo five years of supervised release after serving his prison term. The sentence was given on October 3, 2025, by Judge Arun Subramanian, who emphasized that the significant sentence was necessary to send a strong message against abuse and exploitation of women. Despite the defense's request for a lighter sentence and Combs already having spent 12 months in custody, the judge found the severity of the crimes warranted this punishment. Combs apologized in court, expressing remorse for his "shameful and sick" actions and asking for mercy. He was acquitted of more severe charges such as racketeering and sex trafficking but convicted on the lesser charges related to prostitution transportation.
