MANHATTAN — Sean “Diddy” Combs will meet with the judge, prosecution and defense in a virtual hearing at 2 p.m. Tuesday to discuss a sentencing schedule.

Defense attorneys and federal prosecutors have agreed to a sentencing hearing for Combs on September 22, according to a letter filed with the court ahead of Tuesday’s hearing.

It will be up to Judge Arun Subramanian to accept the accelerated schedule and ask the Probation Office to expedite the pre-sentence investigation.

The post-trial hearing comes less than a week after Combs was convicted of two of the five criminal charges in his sex trafficking and racketeering case.

After the high-strakes trial wrapped up, Subramanian denied Combs bail returning the mogul to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, where he awaits sentencing.

Although acquitted on of his most serious charges – sex trafficking and racketeering – Combs still faces up to 20 years in prison.

Subramanian originally proposed a sentencing date of Oct. 3, 2025.

Attorneys for Combs will try to convince a federal judge to skip some procedural steps and sentence him as soon as possible, citing “exceptional circumstances.”

The defense argued “exceptional circumstances” that warrant a rushed sentencing include the 2018 death of Combs’ romantic partner Kim Porter.

“The mother of some of his children had passed away many years ago. These kids, the two daughters here sitting in the middle of your Honor’s second row, don’t have a parent,” defense attorney Marc Agnifilo said in court last week.

Federal prosecutors appeared to oppose anything other than the usual course, including a presentence report from probation officials that would require Combs to sit for an interview.

“The only things exceptional about this defendant are his wealth, his violence and his brazenness,” prosecutor Maurene Comey said.

Combs faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison on the two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He is likely to get far less than that for a first time conviction. Any sentence would include credit for time served, which so far totals about 10 months.

When Combs returned to MDC-Brooklyn following the verdict, fellow inmates applauded for him, according to a spokesperson.
