Sean "Diddy" Combs has been sentenced to more than four years in prison over two prostitution-related charges.
Despite an emotional plea for mercy made by the hip-hop mogul in court, Judge Arun Subramanian said he rejected the defence's argument that "freak off" sexual encounters were consensual experiences and that his is just a sex, drugs and rock'n'roll story.
The judge said Combs abused power and control with women he professed to love.
The rapper was convicted in July of flying people around the US and abroad for sexual encounters, including his then girlfriends and male sex workers, in violation of US prostitution laws.
However, he was cleared of the more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex-trafficking that could have put him in jail for life.
