<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs will head back to court in the fall as a federal judge has set a date for his sentencing. The rapper’s defense attorneys originally petitioned for expedited sentencing, but have since agreed to the original proposed date.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Court documents confirmed that the 55-year-old rap artist will face sentencing on October 3 after being found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs was acquitted of the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Bad Boy Records founder’s attorney submitted a petition to have his client released on a $1 million bond, but that was turned down and Combs will remain incarcerated until the sentencing date. People </span><a href="https://people.com/diddy-sentencing-oct-3-11761014"><span style="font-weight: 400;">noted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that the rapper will likely be credited for time served for the amount of time he spends behind bars.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The outlet further noted that the government is seeking to sentence Combs to between 51 and 63 months in jail. The defense is seeking a 21 to 27 month sentence. If he had been convicted of all charges, the rapper could have been facing life in prison.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The federal investigation into Combs gained national attention earlier this year when raids on his Los Angeles and Miami properties yielded large amounts of electronic devices, reportedly containing potential evidence connected to the charges. Prosecutors alleged that Combs orchestrated a network of parties and events where women were trafficked and abused. Meanwhile, the rapper claimed that his sexual exploits were unorthodox but fully consensual.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beyond the courtroom, the fallout has already impacted Combs’ vast business empire. This has led to speculation about whether his music legacy can survive the scandal.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The upcoming sentencing hearing is expected to draw intense media coverage as observers watch to see whether one of the entertainment world’s biggest moguls will ultimately face significant prison time or be let off easy. Many critics are already furious that Combs was acquitted of the more serious charges. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After the verdict was delivered, Combs appeared to celebrate the jury’s decision that acquitted him on the most serious charges. He raised his hands in a prayer motion and then hugged one of his defense attorneys, Teny Geragos.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">His lawyer also said Diddy received a standing ovation from fellow inmates following the conclusion of the trial. </span></p>
