Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs sentenced to more than 4 years in prison over prostitution convictionNEW YORK, (Reuters) – Sean “Diddy” Combs was sentenced yesterday to more than four years in prison over his conviction on prostitution-related charges, with the judge rebuking the hip-hop mogul for subjecting two former girlfriends to years of abuse. Combs, 55, was stoic as U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian announced the 50-month sentence at the end of a day-long hearing in Manhattan federal court. Combs’ lawyers acknowledged Combs had physically abused his girlfriends, but argued they willingly took part in the sexual performances. “We aren’t here to excuse any of his mistakes,” Combs’ 18-year-old daughter Jessie Combs said through tears. Subramanian said prosecutors’ request for a harsh sentence did not take into account mitigating factors, including Combs’ charitable acts.
