Federal prosecutors are urging a New York judge to sentence disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs to more than 11 years in prison, citing years of physical and psychological abuse against women and employees.
Prosecutors said Combs has shown no remorse and blamed victims, arguing only a lengthy prison term will deter future abuses by the wealthy and powerful.

Combs was convicted in July on two counts of transporting women for prostitution, each carrying up to 10 years. He was acquitted of racketeering and sex-trafficking charges tied to drug-fueled “Freak Offs” involving escorts.
The U.S. probation department recommended five to seven years, but prosecutors want 135 months and a $500,000 fine.
Prosecutors want Sean “Diddy” Combs sentenced to 11+ years in prison on Mann Act charges, calling him “unrepentant.” Sentencing set for Oct. 3.

Victim letters, including from ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, described him as manipulative and violent.
Ventura told the court she relocated her family out of fear, calling Combs “a cruel, power-hungry, manipulative man.” Sentencing is set for Friday.
