Combs was sentenced in October after being found guilty of two counts of transportation for the purpose of prostitution. While acquitted of more serious charges including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking in July, the conviction led to a 50-month prison term, a $500,000 fine-including costs associated with imprisonment-a $5,000 statutory fine, and a $200 special assessment. This development signals the beginning of Combs’ confinement and the implementation of his sentence, following 13 months spent at the brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center awaiting trial.
