 Sean 'Diddy' Combs requests fast-tracked appeal

Sean "Diddy" Combs is asking a federal appeals court to fast-track his appeal of his conviction on two prostitution-related charges, saying his prison sentence could be completed before a normal appeal schedule is finished.

Combs is challenging both the conviction and his more than four-year sentence. Defense attorney Alexandra Shapiro said in a court filing that an accelerated briefing and argument timeline is essential to prevent the appeal from becoming moot while it is pending. She noted that Combs has already served roughly 14 months of his 50-month sentence, with his remaining time uncertain due to potential reductions.

The Bureau of Prisons has listed Combs’ projected release date from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as May 8, 2028, though that date is subject to change.

Combs was convicted of two counts of transportation for the purposes of prostitution following an eight-week trial in July. He was acquitted of more serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

In his appeal to the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Combs plans to argue that prosecutors misapplied the law. Shapiro said the case challenges “the unfair use of the Mann Act, an infamous statute with a sordid history, to prosecute him for sex with consenting adults.”

Combs maintains that the convictions should not apply because he had no financial motive for transporting male escorts, stating that his intent was to watch them with his girlfriends.
