Diddy is firing back at federal prosecutors who are opposed to throwing out his conviction on Mann Act charges in his criminal case ... he says Uncle Sam is using the wrong definition of prostitution to prosecute him under the Mann Act, and says he deserves, at minimum, a new trial.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Diddy's legal team take shots at the feds as they try to make the case for Judge Arun Subramanian to change Diddy's Mann Act conviction to an acquittal or give him a new trial.


Diddy says prosecutors are using the modern definition of "prostitution" to apply the Mann Act, a federal law that was enacted way back in 1910 ... when it was also known as the White Slave Traffic Act.

His defense says the court should be using the 1910 definition of prostitution ... not the 2025 definition ... and Diddy says back in 1910 "a prostitute was a woman who had sex outside marriage." He says the feds' position is that prostitution is sex for hire, but the old meaning when the statute was passed was much broader than that.

Diddy says the feds didn't even really prove he paid male escorts to have sex with his girlfriends ... and he's once again arguing the men were paid for their time. He also again says he's just a voyeur and claims that's kosher.

The defense says the court should grant an acquittal in Diddy's case, or at least a new trial.

Diddy Wants Acquittal or New Trial, Says Feds' Definition of Prostitution Is Wrong

Diddy’s Legal Team Asks Judge for Near-Immediate Release Ahead of Sentencing

The rap mogul, who was found not guilty of the three serious counts in his federal indictment, will return to court for sentencing next week.

www.hollywoodreporter.com

Attorneys representing Sean “Diddy” Combs have told the judge overseeing his sentencing next week for the two violations of the Mann Act that the court should hand their client no more than 14 months, essentially advocating for the near-immediate release of the beleaguered rap mogul following months he’s spent since his arrest and in the aftermath of his trial inside one of the nation’s most notorious prisons.

Combs was found not guilty on July 3 of the more serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges the feds slapped him with in a 2024 indictment. The jury’s verdict came after a sensational eight-week trial in lower Manhattan that, despite his attorney’s efforts following the split verdict, ended with Combs still incarcerated at a federal lock-up in Brooklyn as he awaits sentencing. The lengthy sentencing memorandum was filed on Monday, ahead of Combs’ return to the lower Manhattan court on Oct. 3, where he stood trial and will soon learn his fate.

In Combs’ defense team’s sentencing memorandum, they state that the Grammy-winning rapper and successful businessman was met with the “full force” of the government’s “awesome power” at his summer trial and that ultimately, he mostly prevailed. They also warn against a sentence for Combs that is based outside of the jury’s ruling but based in the court’s own findings about the allegations of force or coercion of two of Combs’ girlfriends — Cassie Ventura and an anonymous woman referred to as “Jane” — who he was accused of forcing into ‘freak off” sex and drug marathons that would last up to four days, or the racketeering conspiracy prosecutors claimed he engaged in by allegedly turning his Combs Enterprises music and media empire into a criminal operation whose endgame was the aforementioned coercive sex parties. The average sentence in similar Mann Act guilty verdicts is 15 months, the high-end attorneys explain to the judge, stating that the government seeks five times that sentence for the fallen hip-hop star.

“Mr. Combs must be sentenced for what the jury convicted him of — interstate transportation of fully consenting adults with intent to engage in prostitution, “ the memorandum’s introductory document reads. “But it would be unlawful, and a perversion of justice, for the Court to sentence him as if the jury had convicted him of sex trafficking and racketeering.”

Combs’ powerhouse team of attorneys, led by Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos, mentioned in their note to Judge Arun Subramanian that their client’s past charitable work and his continued sobriety while being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center for the past 13 months. The attorneys argue to the judge that having been incarcerated at the MDC merits a lighter sentence for the rapper, as he’s been subject to violence both directed at him and seen regularly; they include a news article about maggot-infested food at the lock-up, which is also currently housing Luigi Mangione, the American man accused of killing the CEO of UnitedHealthcare in the streets of Manhattan in 2024.

The near billionaire’s seven children, the murder of his father when he was a child, his late girlfriend Kim Porter, and the unsolved murder of rap icon Notorious B.I.G. were all brought up to the judge as the “substantial obstacles” Combs faced over the decades of his life discussed during his lengthy trial and why he was beset with anxiety and fell into substance abuse. They claimed in the memo that Combs’ therapy “can only effectively be provided outside of prison walls.”

The letter also states that both the probation office and the feds are asking Judge Subramanian to throw the book at Combs, giving him an outsized sentence “five times longer than the average sentence for Mann Act defendants with similar criminal histories.” This is all based on so-called fraud and coercion that was rejected by jurors, the attorney states in the memo. Federal probation officers assist judges in determining sentences; the federal prosecutors’ formal recommendation is still pending in Combs’ case, but they have stated that it warrants a “substantial” prison sentence.

“The prosecutors, for their part, have lost all perspective,” Combs’ lawyers state in the memo. “They advocate for numerous enhancements… and seek to sentence Mr. Combs under a different enhancement for a crime he was never charged with, which would result in a guidelines range above the statutory maximum of 20 years. This is wildly out of proportion to the conduct at issue — threesomes where fully competent adult men and women voluntarily crossed state lines and had consensual sex with each other, and the defendant made no money,” they wrote.

Combs faces a maximum of 10 years for each of the two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. His attorneys ultimately told the judge that the “only fair and just sentence after applying all the factors is a sentence of no more than 14 months’ imprisonment.” Combs’ time served will reach 14 months in November, so if this were the judge’s ruling, he would be out of the federal lockup in a matter of weeks.

Letters from dozens of family members, friends and associates were included in the sentencing memorandum, which was led by a missive from 84-year-old Janice Combs, the defendant’s mother, who raised him after his father’s murder and made headlines for her courtroom looks as she attended his federal trial daily.

Sean Combs “made some terrible mistakes in his life, which I know he recognizes,” Janice claimed in her letter to the judge, which also mentioned the death of his father and even foreshadowed her own death.

“On Dec. 21, I will be 85 years old. This separation for the past year, while Sean has been incarcerated, has been excruciatingly difficult and painful for me and his children,” she wrote. “I would like to spend the last few years of my life with my son, Sean.”

While Combs’ fate in the media frenzy trial of the year will be learned next week, he faces significant legal battles ahead. While multiple civil cases that have been filed against the mogul have since been dropped, he is still looking at dozens of civil legal actions against him, with many making strikingly similar allegations of druggings and sexual assaults allegedly perpetrated by Combs over several decades. Combs has denied all charges against him.

Combs’ legal team has also reportedly appealed to President Trump for a potential pardon. In May, before Combs’ conviction, Trump said during a press conference that he “would certainly look at the facts” regarding the case but that he hadn’t “been watching it too closely.”

Sean Combs launched a jailhouse 'Free Game with Diddy' course to teach fellow inmates business skills: lawyers

Sean "Diddy" Combs' 6-week course was designed to teach "essential" business and entrepreneurship skills to fellow inmates, his lawyers said.

www.aol.com

• Sean Combs launched a business class for fellow inmates at his Brooklyn jail, his lawyers said.
• The "Free Game with Diddy" 6-week course was meant to teach "essential" business management skills.
• Combs' attorneys mentioned the class in a lengthy presentencing submission.

While locked up at a notorious federal jail in Brooklyn, Combs launched a 6-week business course called "Free Game with Diddy" in order to "spread his knowledge to his fellow inmates," Combs' attorneys said in new court papers.

"Mr. Combs scripted a 15-page class plan for the course, which is an educational program designed to equip participants with essential skills in business management, entrepreneurship and personal development," his lawyers wrote in a presentencing submission that made a plea for leniency.

The 55-year-old businessman and rapper, once worth close to a billion dollars, developed the curriculum for the course before his recent Manhattan federal trial in which he was convicted of prostitution-related charges, Combs' attorneys said in the late Monday filing.

Combs' course was offered to all those in his dorm at the Metropolitan Detention Center, where former crypto kingpin Sam Bankman-Fried was housed up until March, and where accused CEO killer Luigi Manigone remains behind bars.

The class also had a Spanish interpreter, "so everyone who wanted to participate had the opportunity to do so," Combs' lawyers wrote in the court documents.

"Because there are no other educational courses offered at MDC, 'Free Game with Diddy' had a substantial impact on many fellow inmates," his attorneys added.

A spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons, which runs MDC where Combs has been locked up since his arrest and indictment more than a year ago, declined to comment.

Combs' lawyers said in the court papers that despite the Bad Boy Records founder's "many professional successes," Combs "counts his Free Game course as one of the most impactful and important endeavors of his life."

"He hopes to continue with and expand and improve upon this curriculum in the future," Combs' attorneys wrote. "His goal is to implement this program on a grander scale upon his release with programming to extend to youth in the community as well as in state operated facilities."

At Combs' trial, the jury cleared him of the top charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, sparing him from a possible sentence of life in prison.

In the 182-page Monday court filing, Combs' attorneys made their argument for why they believe Combs should be released with a punishment of time served at his coming October 3 sentencing.

"He has served over a year in one of the most notorious jails in America—yet has made the most of that punishment," the lawyers wrote. "It is time for Mr. Combs to go home to his family, so he can continue his treatment and try to make the most of the next chapter of his extraordinary life."

A prison sentence of no more than 14 months — which Combs has nearly served — "is the only reasonable sentence," his attorneys said.

Prosecutors have suggested in previous court filings to the judge overseeing the case, US District Judge Arun Subramanian, that Combs should be sentenced to at least four years in prison.

Judge plans speedy ruling on whether charges can be dropped against Sean 'Diddy' Combs

A federal judge says he'll rule soon whether to toss out two prostitution-related charges that Sean “Diddy” Combs was convicted of in July.

apnews.com

A federal judge said Thursday he’ll rule “very shortly” on a final bid by defense lawyers to get him to toss out two prostitution-related convictions that Sean “Diddy” Combs is scheduled to be sentenced for next week.

Judge Arun Subramanian listened to nearly 90 minutes of arguments by lawyers over whether the charges were properly brought against the Grammy-winning hip-hop producer.

Combs, 55, is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 3 in Manhattan for his conviction on two counts alleging that he arranged interstate travel for people engaged in prostitution.

Defense attorney Alexandra Shapiro urged the judge to toss out two violations of the Mann Act that resulted in conviction, saying the “infamous law” had “racist and sexist origins” that are “well documented and beyond dispute.” The jury acquitted him of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, charges that carried the potential penalty of life in prison.

“The whole history of the statute is really, I would submit, an embarrassment to the United States of America,” she said.

Prior to trial, the judge declined to throw out charges and he sounded skeptical at times as Shapiro pressed her arguments that Combs was improperly convicted.

Late Thursday, Subramanian seemed focused on the sentencing going forward when he explained in an order why he forced Combs to wear his prison uniform to the latest hearing.

He said defense lawyers had failed to explain why Combs would need civilian clothing in court when there was no jury present nor what legal precedent exists to allow that.

“The Court will entertain an application relating to the sentencing proceeding, but it needs to provide some explanation along these lines,” he wrote.

During the oral arguments Thursday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik said the prosecution against Combs illustrated the necessity of fighting prostitution because of the violence, drugs and sexual diseases that often accompany it.

Prosecutors said Combs paid for and arranged hundreds of drug-fueled sexual marathon performances between male sex workers and his girlfriends, two of whom testified about being beaten and kicked by Combs.

Shapiro argued that Combs cannot be held responsible for financing and helping to arrange the transportation domestically and internationally for elaborate sex performances that he frequently filmed over a 15-year period.

Slavik said the jury verdict should stand because the charges were properly brought and it was in the public interest to prevent prostitution, particularly when it involves the kind of violence and drugs that occurred when Combs was involved.

As he entered the courtroom, a smiling Combs waved to his supporters and touched his heart before taking his seat among several lawyers. He did not speak during the hearing except to greet the judge.

At the end of the hearing, Combs blew kisses to his family, which included his mother, three daughters and three sons.

“Thank you all for coming. I love you all so much,” he said. “Every hour, every day, is me getting closer to going home.”



He also told them: “I’ve got some big plans for us.”

In a presentence submission this week, defense lawyers said Combs’ family has suffered since his arrest, including financially from the loss of business possibilities.

Subramanian has denied bail for the Bad Boy Records founder after he was convicted of the prostitution-related charges in July.

Combs will have been jailed for nearly 13 months when he is sentenced Oct. 3.

His lawyers argued in court papers submitted this week that he should be sentenced to no more than 14 months in prison. With credit for good behavior, that would mean he would be released immediately.

Prosecutors have said they believe he should spend at least several more years behind bars, although they won’t submit their sentencing recommendations to the judge until next week.


The judge has signaled that he, too, is leaning toward a substantial amount of prison time, twice refusing to grant bail since the jury returned its verdict, citing Combs’ history of violence.

The mann act charges should be dropped. It makes no sense because the jury ruled everything was consensual and there was no trafficking, force or coercion. Because its consensual they cant say diddy benefited from it.. which is whats needed cause the the mann act is used for pimps who profit and not customers. There is no case where the customer was charged with the mann act. The judge will either have to blatantly ignore the law and previous precedents or overturn the verdict.
