Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has been serving his sentence after being found guilty
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, founder of the Bad Boy Records label and promoter of the careers of musicians such as The Notorious BIG and Danity Kane, is serving a sentence of more than four years in prison after being found guilty in July of two counts of transportation for prostitution.
After a trial that lasted two months, the 55-year-old musical artist was exonerated of the most serious crimes he faced, sex trafficking and organized crime.
The Prosecutor’s Office accused Diddy of forcing his now ex-girlfriends to have marathon encounters with male sex workers that usually included drug use, such as ecstasy or ketamine, and that could last for days.
