Sean "Diddy" Combs was sentenced to 50 months in prison for his prostitution-related convictions
He begged the judge for mercy before the judge handed down the sentence
The judge said Combs' acts warranted “a substantial sentence" to send message to abusers
Judge Arun Subramanian addressed Sean "Diddy" Combs on Friday, Oct. 3, before sentencing him to 50 months in prison for his two prostitution-related convictions.
With credit for time served, Combs has 36 months left to serve. Combs was also fined $500,000 and sentenced to five years of supervised release.
While acknowledging that the music mogul has an "impressive" record of being a "celebrated" and "iconic" artist, he said Combs' history of rampant sexual and physical violence warrant a "substantial sentence."
