Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs to be sentenced October 3

Written by on July 10, 2025

(CNN) – Sean “Diddy” Combs will be sentenced in a hearing set to be held October 3.

Last week, Combs was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution after an eight-week trial. He faces up to ten years in prison on each count, though legal analysts predict he will get much less.

He was acquitted of the more serious charges of which he was accused – racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.

After the verdict was announced last Wednesday, Judge Arun Subramanian had proposed scheduling the sentencing hearing for October 3, but was told by Combs’ lawyers that they’d hoped to expedite the process.

Ahead of a remote hearing on Tuesday, attorneys for Combs first proposed a date of September 22 for the sentencing hearing, but they later revised their proposal to October 3 in a subsequent letter to the judge shortly after.

The first letter said the defense proposal was subject to consent from the probation office. The second letter, which essentially backed off their push to expedite his sentencing, shifted the sentencing hearing back to its original date and said the probation office did not object to that schedule.
