Judge Sets Diddy’s Sentencing Date For October 3rd Amid Prostitution Conviction
Judge Arun Subramanian has set October 3rd as the sentencing date for Diddy’s federal prostitution conviction. The Bad Boy mogul was convicted last week on two charges related to transporting male prostitutes across state lines for sex.
Diddy Files New Letter Requesting That His Sentencing Be Moved Up To Sept. 22
The date—October 3rd—is the same one the judge proposed last week, and now it’s locked in. Diddy will stay behind bars leading up to that day, meaning he’ll have already served over a year in custody by the time his sentence drops. That time will count toward his overall sentence.
Now, let’s talk penalties. Diddy is facing a maximum of 20 years—10 years for each of the two charges. But legal experts don’t expect him to get the max. The real battle right now? It’s all about the sentencing guidelines.
Diddy’s legal team claims the guidelines should start at 21 months. The prosecutors, though, aren’t having it. They argue that the floor starts at 51 months, more than double what Diddy’s team is pushing for. The judge will have the final say on that.
This case has rocked the culture and the music industry alike, bringing everything from power abuse to celebrity privilege under a harsh spotlight.
