NEW YORK (TNND) — Music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs will learn how much time he spends behind bars on Friday as prosecutors urge the judge to give him 11 years for two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Combs was convicted in July of flying people around the country for sexual encounters, including his girlfriends and male sex workers, in violation of the federal Mann Act, also known as the White-Slave Traffic Act.

The 55-year-old was acquitted of more serious racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges that would have put him in prison for life.

During his sentencing hearing, the Associated Press reported that prosecutor Christy Slavik told Judge Arun Subramanian that not sentencing Combs to further prison time would be allowing him to get away with years of domestic violence.

“It’s a case about a man who did horrible things to real people to satisfy his own sexual gratification,” Slavik said. “He didn’t need the money. His currency was control.”

She also pointed out that Combs booking a speaking gig in Miami next week "is the height of hubris."

The defense previously argued that the artist has been punished enough and asked the New York federal judge to sentence him to no more than 14 months in jail.

If the judge accepts the recommendation, it means Combs would be free less than two months after sentencing on Oct. 3, since he has already spent more than a year in a Brooklyn jail.

Defense lawyer Nicole Westmoreland painted the rapper as remorseful and highlighted the impact Combs has made on people's lives.

“It wouldn’t be right to take that from him because he’s made mistakes. It wouldn’t be right for the court not to consider the years of his life that he has given, that he has inspired, and the countless individuals that he has helped,” she told the court, according to CNN.

In a letter to the judge on Thursday, Combs promised he would never commit another crime if released, saying, “The old me died in jail and a new version of me was reborn.”

The defense team also showed an 11-minute video in court showing his family life, career, and philanthropy.

Combs, according to CNN, cried as the court watched the documentary-style footage.

Several of his children appeared in court to defend their father and implore the judge to give him a second chance.

“My father is my superhero. Seeing him broken down and stripped of everything is something I will never forget,” Combs’ son, Justin Combs, said. He suggested that as tough as the ordeal has been, it probably saved Combs’ life because, during his year in jail, he has kicked drugs and alcohol.

His daughters Chance and D’Lila Combs cried as they read prepared remarks, D’Lila saying she fears losing their father to prison and effectively being parentless after the 2018 death of her mother, Kim Porter. In all, six of Combs’ seven children spoke. His youngest daughter, Love, didn’t speak, but she’s just two years old.

His former girlfriend, R&B singer Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, who testified about Combs ordering her to have sex with strangers hundreds of times, also wrote the judge about how Combs' accusers live in fear of "swift retribution" after they spoke up about the abuse at trial.

"I still have nightmares and flashbacks on a regular, everyday basis, and continue to require psychological care to cope with my past," Ventura wrote in the letter obtained by Fox News. "My worries that Sean Combs or his associates will come after me and my family is my reality. I have in fact moved my family out of the New York area and am keeping as private and quiet as I possibly can because I am so scared that if he walks free, his first actions will be swift retribution towards me and others who spoke up about his abuse at trial."

His lawyers have continuously argued throughout the case that the sexual encounters referred to as "freak offs" or "hotel nights" were consensual and that Combs had no financial motive.

Combs was denied bail in July after asking to be released on a $50 million bond.

Subramanian said Combs had not met the burden of showing by clear and convincing evidence a “lack of danger to any person or the community.”
