Federal Prosecutors Wants Judge To Sentence Diddy To 11 Years In Prison

Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to sentence him to more than 11 years in prison following his conviction on prostitution-related charges. In a new court filing prosecutors say they want "at least 135 months' imprisonment" for Diddy, along with a $500k fine. Judge Arun Subramanian is set to hand down Diddy's sentence on Friday in NYC. He is currently facing a max of 20 years in prison after being found guilty on two counts of transporting male prostitutes across state lines where they engaged in "freak-offs" that became a centerpiece of his criminal trial. Prosecutors say Diddy's crimes are "serious" and note similar cases have led to sentences of more than 10 years for defendants who, like him, used violence and put others in fear. They argue that a lengthy prison sentence is needed because Diddy is "unrepentant" … claiming he admitted to violence and abuse during the trial, but now argues "his victims should shoulder the blame. Prosecutors accuse him of trying to "recast decades of abuse" as a mutually toxic relationship adding, "But there is nothing mutual about a relationship where one person holds all the power and the other ends up bloodied and bruised." They say his sentence should "reflect the substantial psychological, emotional, and physical damage he has inflicted. Diddy was acquitted by a jury for racketeering and sex trafficking charges which could have had him locked up for life
