Diddy Convicted on Two Counts, Inmates Praise Course

Sean “Diddy” Combs, held at the Metropolitan Detention Center since his September 2024 arrest, was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and acquitted of racketeering and sex‑trafficking; he is scheduled to be sentenced on October 3, 2025. Dozens of fellow inmates submitted letters praising his "Free Game With Diddy" sessions, saying they taught entrepreneurship, business planning, life skills, health tips and use of AI and improved unit cohesion. Family members, including his son Justin Combs, also wrote asking Judge Arun Subramanian for leniency, while prosecutors and defense teams continue to spar over post‑trial relief. His attorneys have sought a new trial or acquittal on Mann Act counts and argued for leniency, noting a possible 14‑month term that could be reduced by time already served. The original trial featured testimony from former partners Cassie Ventura, a witness known as "Jane," Kid Cudi, former employees and escorts about alleged "freak off" parties and other sexual‑misconduct allegations.
