New York (AP) – Prosecutors said they now expect music Mogul Scene “Didi” Combes He could face a prison sentence as compared to four to five years, “much more” he thought he was likely to cope with his conviction on two prostitution allegations.
He visited a Manhattan Federal Court late on Thursday night, in which he wrote that he had also opposed the request of Comombs this week, while he was released on bail of $ 50 million. October 3 punishment,
In early July, Combs, 55, Was acquitted In allegations of conspiracy and sex smuggling that fulfills the conditions of a potential life gel Transportation engaged in prostitution Girlfriends and male sex workers who were filmed for traveling to sexual encounters to arrange to arrange for sexual workers.
The allegation related to each prostitution is a maximum possibility of a maximum of 10 years in the jail.
The prosecutors said after the verdict that they felt that the guidelines for federal punishment meant that for equal offenses, a call would be made for a period of four to five years to prevent widespread inequalities in punishment. But he said that on Thursday, he believes that the guidelines would “be quite high,” would run away raising the risk comb.
Judge Arun Subramanian will have a broad latitude to determine a sentence and can choose to ignore the guidelines, which are not mandatory. Comombs lawyers have said that they believe in guidelines, if calculated properly, you will get a jail sentence of 21 to 27 months.
On the day of the verdict, prosecutors argued defense lawyer Mark Agnifilo that Combes should be freed on bail immediately.
Subramanian denied the defense request, saying that the Comombs did not meet the burden of showing clear and solid evidence, “a lack of danger to any person or community”. But he said that Agifilo can renew the request.
In doing so on Tuesday, Agifilo cited other cases, which he was guilty of Combs in which the defendants were granted bail. And they cited serious circumstances Metropolitan detention center In Brooklyn, where Comombs has been held since a September arrest at a hotel in New York.
He also said that Combs was being misunderstood to get tangled in “swingers” lifestyle, in which he and his girlfriends sometimes invited male sex workers to participate in the multide marathon sex performance.
The prosecutors said in their filing on Thursday that Comombs sentence on matters related to prostitution made a mandatory requirement that he remained in jail before sentence, until he could prove extraordinary circumstances, which he said that he could not.
He said that he should also remain in jail as a threat to the community, a claim that Agifilo disputed in his papers.
“Scene combs will not be violent for anyone. As we said in court, this jury gave them back her life, and she will not give her second chance in life, nor will she do anything to put more and more children in danger to not be a father, and do not have four parents,” wrote earlier.
The prosecutors also said that the situations in the federal lockup had improved significantly before the Combs was arrested. In January 2024, a federal judge destroyed the conditions in the prison, including its broad lockdown and insufficient medical care.
Prosecutors said that other defendants were granted bail in cases cited by Agifilo, not comparable to crimes that were convicted of carrying the combs out, especially due to their tendency to violence.
He said, “The explosive history of the defendant – and his continuous effort to reduce their recent violent conduct – shows their dangerousness and is not amendable for supervision,” he wrote. “The defendant fails to establish a completely clear and solid evidence, as required, that he does not pose a threat to the community.”
