Federal prosecutors asked a judge on Tuesday to sentence Sean "Diddy" Combs to 11½ years behind bars for his conviction on prostitution-related charges, arguing that the rap entrepreneur has no remorse for his crimes.
A Manhattan jury acquitted the hip hop mogul in July of more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking two former girlfriends, but found him guilty on two counts of transporting male escorts across state and international lines for the purpose of prostitution.
Each conviction carries a maximum 10-year prison term.
During the eight-week trial , former pop singer Casandra Ventura, who performed under the name Cassie, and a woman who testified under the pseudonym Jane told the court of psychological grooming and physical abuse at the hands of Combs. B
