Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ attorneys signaled on Monday that they plan to appeal his conviction on two charges of transportation for the purposes of prostitution.
The 55-year-old rap mogul was acquitted of more serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges during the eight-week trial, but he still faces four years in prison for the two convictions.
In a notice for the Federal District Court of New York that was filed by his attorney, Alexandra Shapiro, she signaled their plan to appeal, but they didn’t lay out the legal rationale behind the appeal, according to documents obtained by the Daily Mail.
However, in previous filings, the rapper’s legal team claimed that his conviction shouldn’t stand because the two prostitution charges did not apply to his conduct.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Diddy’s representative but has not yet received a response.
Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced Diddy to 50 months in prison after his conviction on the two prostitution charges, but he has been credited with the year he already spent in jail at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center ahead of and during his trial.
