Lawyers for Sean 'Diddy' Combs filed an appeal on December 23, 2025, urging a New York federal court to release him immediately, overturn his conviction, or reduce his four-year sentence. The appeal argues that the trial judge improperly relied on charges for which Combs was acquitted. Combs was convicted in July 2025 of two prostitution-related offenses under the Mann Act.
