\n\tSean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs<\/strong> is asking a federal judge to release him from jail ahead of his October sentencing date, arguing that prostitution customers, or \u201cjohns,\u201d are essentially never incarcerated like he\u2019s been.<\/p>\n

\n\tCombs was acquitted earlier this month on the most serious criminal charges he faced over drug-fueled sex marathons called \u201cfreak-offs,\u201d but was convicted on two lesser counts of interstate prostitution. When he\u2019s sentenced in October, he\u2019ll likely receive between two and five years in prison.<\/p>\n

\n\tJudge Arun Subramanian<\/strong> ruled at the time that Combs must stay in jail until sentencing, citing his history of domestic violence. But in a new filing on Tuesday, his lawyers strongly urge the judge to reconsider \u2013 arguing that no other prostitution \u201cjohn\u201d would get such treatment.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSean Combs should not be in jail for this conduct,\u201d writes Marc Agnfilo<\/strong> and Diddy\u2019s other lawyers. \u201cIn fact, he may be the only person currently in a United States jail for being any sort of john.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDiddy\u2019s lawyers argue that harsh penalties, including pre-sentencing jail, is reserved for the people who run prostitution operations \u2013 and not for one person who merely hired prostitutes. They say the case against Diddy and his ongoing incarceration are genuinely unique in more than a century since the federal prostitution law was enacted.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere has literally never been a case like this one, where a person and his girlfriend arranged for adult men to have consensual sexual relations with the adult long-term girlfriend,\u201d Diddy\u2019s lawyers write. \u201cMr. Combs is incarcerated while everyone else involved in this identical conduct \u2013 his girlfriends, the [prostitutes], the agency\u2019s leaders, the porn stars and others \u2013 walk free, as they should.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIf released, Combs\u2019 lawyers say he will submit to previously-offered restrictions, including a $50 million bond and travel restrictions. They say he\u2019s not a flight risk and \u201cwill not be violent to anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAs we said in court, this jury gave him his life back, and he will not squander his second chance at life, nor would he do anything to further jeopardize his seven children not having a father, and four of his children not having a parent at all,\u201d Agnifilo writes.<\/p>\n

\n\tCombs\u2019 much-awaited sentencing hearing is scheduled for Oct. 3 in New York.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
