According to CNN.com, the federal prosecutors have said that Sean “Diddy” Combs should face more than 11 years in prison by arguing that the artist deserves a steep sentence for allegedly physically and mentally abusing his girlfriends and employees for years.
In a 161-page filing, prosecutors urged Judge Arun Subramanian to reject Combs’ request for a sentence of 14 months, essentially time served, because they argue the producer has allegedly not shown any remorse and instead has sought to blame the victims in the case.
“Time and again he has shown that he is concerned only with his own power and control. Only a significant term of imprisonment—meted out in a substantial number of years— can effectively deter him and show future victims that their abusers will be held accountable, no matter their wealth or fame,” prosecutors wrote in a memo to the judge filed late Monday.
Also, the U.S. probation department has recommended a sentence ranging between five and seven years in prison. Combs is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday. Prosecutors submitted letters from Cassie Ventura, her parents, and former employees who urged the judge to consider the victims, some of whom fear retribution. Combs’ former girlfriend, who testified under the pseudonym Jane, did not submit a letter to the judge.
