The prosecutors also asked the court to fine Combs $US500,000, according to the court filing. US District Judge Arun Subramanian is due to sentence Combs during a hearing on Friday in Manhattan. The jury acquitted Combs on the most serious counts he faced, racketeering and sex trafficking, charges that could have landed him in prison for life. Under such a sentence, Combs would be released by the end of the year because he would be credited for the time already spent in jail following his September 16, 2024 arrest. Lawyers for Combs argued there was no direct link between what they called domestic violence and the women’s participation in the “Freak Offs”.
