Diddy Sentencing Set for October 3 in Federal Prostitution Conviction

Mark your calendars … Sean “Diddy” Combs finally has a sentencing date for his prostitution conviction in his federal criminal trial.

Judge Arun Subramanian just officially set Diddy’s sentencing for October 3 … the same day he originally proposed last week, when Diddy was convicted on two charges of transporting male prostitutes for sex.

Diddy will remain in custody until his sentencing date … and by that time, he will already have been locked up for over a year … and his time served will go towards his sentence.

The music mogul faces a maximum sentence of 20 years — a decade for each count — but it’s unlikely he gets sentenced to the max.

Diddy’s defense and prosecutors are divided on sentencing guidelines … Diddy’s attorneys say sentencing guidelines start at 21 months, with prosecutors saying the sentencing guidelines start at 51 months.

Ultimately, it will be up to the judge.
