PAPPA WAG VIR DIDDY

Last-gasp effort for freedom fails ahead of sentencing today

PAPPA wag vir Diddy after the rapper saw this last-gasp effort to avoid prison failed for his sex crimes this week.

Hip hop mogul, whose real name is Sean Combs was denied an acquittal and new trial ahead of his scheduled sentencing on Friday.

The 55-year-old Baby Boy Records founder was convicted on two counts of arranging interstate travel for people engaged in prostitution, but he was acquitted of more serious offences of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, which could have resulted in a life sentence.

Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and a woman who used the pseudonym Jane both testified against the rapper during his eight-week trial.

As a result, Combs' team asked the judge for a new trial based only on the prostitution charges.

They claimed he had been unjustly charged under the Mann Act for consensual sexual activity between adults.

However, the acquittal and new trial request was denied.

According to "The New York Times", US District Judge Arun Subramanian wrote in new court documents: "The government at trial presented overwhelming evidence of Combs’s guilt under the Mann Act on many occasions with respect to both [former girlfriend Cassie] Ventura and Jane [unnamed accuser].

"The government proved its case many times over. That by itself might be enough to dispose of Combs’s challenge."

The "I’ll Be Missing You" hitmaker faces up to 10 years in prison for each of the two counts he was convicted, but defense attorneys have asked the judge to sentence him to no more than 14 months in prison.

With good behavior, that would mean Combs’ immediate release.

However, on Tuesday, the prosecution asked the judge to sentence Combs to at least 11 years and three months in prison.

When testifying against Combs, Ventura claimed she had been forced to participate in so-called "freak offs", and alleged she had endured sexual and physical abuse during their relationship.

She has written a three-page victim impact statement ahead of her former lover's sentencing later this week, and she urged the judge to consider a punishment that reflects "the reality of the evidence and my lived experience as a victim".

She called for prison time for her former berk, who she fears will retaliate if he is released.
