Bad Boy Records mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was sentenced to 50 months in jail today (Oct. 3) on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution — the only two charges still standing from his sex trafficking and racketeering trial this year.
Combs, who previously pled not guilty to all charges, faced a maximum of 10 years in prison on the prostitution counts.
The sentencing came after a lurid, eight-week trial involving testimony from Combs’ former partner, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, that he abused and assaulted her over a decade-plus period. The jury was shown a 2016 security camera video of Combs beating Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hallway after she attempted to flee one of his sex-fueled “freak-off” parties.
