Prosecutors want Sean Diddy Combs to be sentenced to over 11 years in prison
New York (AP) key witnesses against Sean “Diddy” combs, including the long-standing ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, calls on a federal judge to reject the indulgence for the hip-hop-mogul on Friday, saying that they were feared for their safety. Prosecutors included letters from R&B singer Cassie, her parents and four others in a written presentation on Tuesday, as they try to sentence combs to at least 11 years and 3 months imprisonment for his conviction on two prostitution-related charges. The voice of an ex -girlfriend who testified under the pseudonym Jane was especially absent. Like Cassie, she said Combs, in a few years of days-long, drug-fueled sexual actions with male sex workers who watched and often filmed. Some who wrote expressed disappointment that a jury Combs, 55, exempted from conspiracy and charges of sex trade that could put him behind bars for life, and convicted him of two minor Mann Act charges arising from the interstate trade related to prostitution. “If there is one thing I learned from this experience, it is that victims and survivors will never be safe,” Cassie wrote, who testified four days during Combs’ trial and described many assaults that crushed and traumatized her. She said she was 19 years old when Combs used “violence, threats, substances and control over my career to catch me in more than a decade of abuse.” A former personal assistant who testified under the pseudonym “Mia” who raped Combs in 2010 asked US district judge Arun Surunian to give a sentence “which takes into account the constant danger that poses my abuser to me and others.” “The defendant’s wealth, power and fame should not place him above the law,” she said. The former employee of employee Clark, who testified that a gun-waving Combs forced her to join him when he broke into Rapper Kid Cudi’s home in 2011, he wrote that the time in prison, away from his vices, the singer ‘I will miss you. “The last ray of light is that you give us right,” she told the judge. “I really believe that the ministry of more time will save Puff’s life, such as time away from his money, drugs and power is the only punishment he will admit.” The celebrity stylist Deonte Nash said he did not expect combs to be in jail forever, but that he was praying for a sentence that enabled the victims to heal and Mr. Cours Coms to Really Change. ‘ Combs’s “behavior has left a long trail of victims, many of which still live in fear,” Nash wrote. “Some of the worst abuse has been applied to people he claims he loved. This is not the story of one or two isolated incidents. This is the story of hundreds, possibly thousands, people whose lives are through his unmarked power and brutality. ‘ Jourdan-Cha’taun Atkinson, Combs’s personal chef from 2007 to 2010, said she intended to testify, but prosecutors pulled her at the last minute. She said federal agents served her a summons in March 2024 and Combs knew about it within two weeks and offered to cover her legal costs. “I was very scared,” she wrote. “Because how did Sean Combs even know that I was contacted?” She said she asked the maximum sentence that she knew that Combs was a very dangerous and pointed man. With a long memory and a panache for refund. ‘ Combs’s attorneys did not ask for more than 14 months imprisonment, which would liberate him almost immediately. Last week, in their sentencing, they argued that Combs had suffered enough in a federal lock in Brooklyn during his almost 13 months. Combs became a changed man in jail, they said. He was under constant suicide watch and learned to respond quietly to threats, even when a prisoner confronted him with a Shiv. They said Combs realized that his overuse of drugs, including some prescribed by doctors, contributed to violent acts he participated in. In her letter, Cassie said that she had nightmares and flashbacks daily and that he should handle psychological care. “My concerns that Sean Combs or his associates will come to me and my family is my reality,” Cassie said. “In fact, I moved my family out of the New York area and kept as private and quiet as I could, because I am so scared that if he walks free, his first action will quickly retaliate to me and others who talked about his abuse during the hearing.” The Associated Press does not usually mention people who say they have been sexually abused unless they emerge in public, as Cassie has.
