‎Hip hop mogul, Diddy, sentenced to 50 months in jail for prostitution-related charges

Hip hop mogul, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, has been sentenced to 50 months in jail for prostitution-related charges.
‎
‎According to BBC, Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced Combs to 50 months, which is four years and two months.
‎
‎The judge said “this sentence is fair to account for the severity of Combs’ crimes and the mitigating factors.
‎
‎He said the evidence the court had seen against Combs is “massive”.
‎
‎He referenced the “savage video” of Combs beating Cassie Ventura, his ex-girlfriend in a hotel hallway, and photos of “gashes and bruises”.
‎
‎He said a significant sentence was required in order to be a deterrence, and to send a message.
‎
‎Earlier during his address, Diddy thanked the judge for giving him the chance to “finally speak up for myself”.
‎
‎He apologized to “all the victims of domestic violence”.
‎
‎”I want to personally apologise again to Cassie Ventura,” he says.
‎
‎He also apologises to Jane Doe, who testified in the trial under a pseudonym.
‎
‎”I didn’t mean to hurt you,” he says.
‎
‎Combs says “I want to apologise to my seven children”. He turns to face them and says all of their names.
‎
‎”I’m so sorry. They deserved better.”
‎
‎He turned to his mother Janice, and said sorry to her as well.
‎
‎Along with apologising to Cassie Ventura and his family, Combs apologized to Jane, saying “I didn’t mean to hurt you, I’m sorry for dragging you into this mess.”
‎
‎”My actions were disgusting, shameful, and sick,” he says.
‎
‎He said he took responsibility for his actions.
‎
‎”I got lost in excess, I got lost in my ego,” he tells the judge.
‎
‎He told the judge directly, saying: “I ask your honour for mercy. I beg your honour for mercy.”
‎
‎Prosecutors had said he was not remorseful, and Combs refuted that claim.
‎
‎”I don’t have nobody to blame but myself,” he says. “I know that I’ve learned my lesson.”
‎
‎He told the judge that if given another chance, he won’t let him down.
‎
‎He ended by saying he would never jeopardise being in this situation again, or being away from his family again.
‎
‎”That’s my deterrence,” he says.
‎
‎The judge had addressed Combs at length before handing down the 50-month sentence.
‎
‎He said he considered that Combs was a self-made artist, that he had been charitable and lifted up the black community, and that he had deep ties to his family.
‎
‎But he rejected the defence’s portrayal of his relationships with Cassie and Jane as intimate and consensual.
‎
‎“You abused them, physically, emotionally and psychologically,” he said.
‎
‎He added that both women had thoughts of self harm and trauma that will last a lifetime.
‎
‎He said the length of the conduct being over a decade also warranted a significant sentence.
‎
‎“You had the money and the power to keep it going,” he said. “This was subjugation.”
‎
‎During trial, Diddy has already spent 14 months in jail, which would be deducted from the final sentence.
