\n\tSean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs will be sentenced in October following his conviction on two counts of interstate prostitution.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Tuesday (July 8), Judge Arun Subramanian scheduled Combs\u2019 much-awaited sentencing hearing for Oct. 3 in New York. This gives the U.S. Probation Office two months to interview the rapper and put together a sentencing recommendation by Sept. 18, after which both the prosecution and defense teams will file written briefs outlining what Combs\u2019 punishment should be.<\/p>\n

\n\tCombs was found guilty on Wednesday (July 2) of transporting girlfriends and male escorts across state lines for drug-fueled sex marathons called \u201cfreak-offs.\u201d But a jury was not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that this conduct occurred as part of a criminal enterprise, or that Combs\u2019 alleged victims \u2014 singer Cassie Ventura and an anonymous woman known as \u201cJane\u201d \u2014 were coerced into the sex parties, leading to his acquittal on more serious sex-trafficking and racketeering charges.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe partial acquittal lowers Combs\u2019 expected prison sentence significantly, as he would have been subject to a minimum of 15 years in prison and a maximum life sentence if convicted on all counts. The rapper instead faces between zero and 20 years behind bars, and federal sentencing guidelines will likely yield a suggested prison term of between two and five years.<\/p>\n

\n\tThose guidelines, which the Probation Office will officially calculate as part of its pre-sentence investigation, are not binding on Judge Subramanian. That means the judge has the discretion to award as little or as much prison time as he sees fit, as long as it\u2019s below the 20-year cap.<\/p>\n

\n\tAssuming Combs does receive a prison sentence, he\u2019ll get time deducted for what will by October be more than a year already spent in jail since being arrested on the federal charges.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe rap mogul sought release on bail following his partial acquittal last week, but Judge Subramanian said he must stay in jail due to his admitted history of domestic violence. The judge\u2019s belief that Combs is a danger to society might be a hint that he\u2019ll impose a sentence in the higher range come October.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the meantime, Combs\u2019 lawyers have until July 30 to file any post-verdict motions. This could include a motion to wipe the rapper\u2019s conviction on the interstate prostitution charges, which the defense has previously criticized as racially motivated.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
