Sean "Diddy" Combs was sentenced Friday to four years and two months in prison in case involving sex workers, violence and "freak-offs." The judge said a lengthy sentence was needed for deterrence and that he was unconvinced that if Combs is released these crimes won't happen again. Combs, 55, was convicted in July of flying people across state lines for drug-fueled marathon sexual encounters. Jurors acquitted him of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges that could have carried a life sentence.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' former personal assistant testified that the hip-hop mogul sexually assaulted her, threw her into a swimming pool, dumped a bucket of ice on her head and slammed her arm into a door during a torturous eight-year tenure. The woman testified Thursday at Combs' sex trafficking trial under the pseudonym "Mia." She has alleged that he put his hand up her dress, forced her to perform oral sex and climbed into her bed to have sex with her against her will. She touched on the allegations briefly at the start of her testimony and is expected to discuss them in detail as her questioning continues.

Jury selection has resumed in the sex trafficking trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs as a federal judge and lawyers try to seat a jury of individuals who are not so opinionated about the hip-hop mogul that they can't be fair. The majority of prospective jurors questioned early Tuesday were disqualified after lawyers for the 55-year-old entertainer and prosecutors found flaws in their answers to questions designed to see if they can be fair and unbiased. Combs has pleaded not guilty to a five-count indictment charging him with leading a racketeering conspiracy that resulted in various crimes, including kidnapping, arson, bribery and sex trafficking.
