Sean Diddy Combs apologized for his crimes and misdeeds in a letter to a judge on Thursday, where he pleaded for a merciful sentence.
In the letter, obtained by HuffPost, the media mogul insisted that he has become a changed man after spending time at Brooklyns Metropolitan Detention Center, where he has been detained since September 2024.
First and foremost, I want to apologize and say how sincerely sorry I am for all of the hurt and pain that I have caused others by my conduct. I take full responsibility and accountability for my past wrongs. This has been the hardest 2 years of my life, and I have no one to blame for my current reality and situation but myself, Combs letter read.
He then brought up his ex, singer-songwriter Casandra Cassie Ventura, with whom he had been together for roughly a decade. Ventura filed a groundbreaking and quickly settled lawsuit accusing Combs of rape and abuse in November 2023, paving the way for a litany of other accusers to come forward and lead to his eventual indictment and trial. Combs was also captured on surveillance video footage abusing Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hallway.

(6,391 posts)2. What is the standard sentence for the crimes he was convicted of?
Not the crimes people wanted him to be convicted of, but the actual offenses he was found guilt of by the jury?
I'm honestly curious.

(286 posts)4. There are Federal sentencing guidelines
but that's exactly what they are, guidelines, which is why there is much debate going on.
Will he receive time served
0-5 year sentence
5-10 years
It's up to the judge to weigh the arguments on both sides.
