Sean “Diddy” Combs is awaiting sentencing after being convicted on prostitution-related charges. Prosecutors want him behind bars for more than a decade, saying he arranged for paid male escorts to perform drug-fueled sex acts with his girlfriends.

While Combs was cleared of the more serious charges, his legal team is pushing for a much lighter sentence—just 14 months—pointing to the positive influence he’s had on other inmates during his time locked up. Diddy has already written a letter to the judge apologizing and says he plans to appeal the conviction. As part of his sentencing hearing today, Combs’ defense team even released a sympathy video highlighting his character and personal struggles in hopes of swaying the judge toward leniency.
