Sean 'Diddy' Combs is set to be released from federal prison on May 8, 2028, after serving 85% of his 50-month sentence for violating the Mann Act, with no imminent presidential pardon. His legal issues included a conviction for transportation to engage in prostitution, but he was acquitted of more serious charges. Combs has filed an appeal, and his request for a transfer to a New Jersey facility was denied.
Diddy has officially filed an appeal against his federal criminal conviction and sentence, which includes a sentence of over four years for charges related to transportation across state lines for prostitution, while being acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking. His legal team plans to submit their substantive brief within 4 to 6 weeks.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs is repeatedly attempting to secure bail while awaiting sentencing for charges related to transportation for prostitution, with his defense offering a $50 million bond. He was found guilty of lesser charges but faces up to 20 years in prison, with sentencing scheduled for October. His legal team argues his conduct is not criminal and highlights the uniqueness of his case under the Mann Act, while an appeal process is underway.
