Diddy's lawyers to be sentenced on October 3

Diddy's lawyers to be sentenced on October 3

The Advertiser08-07-2025
A federal judge said Sean "Diddy" Combs will be sentenced on October 3 after the music mogul was convicted on charges of transporting prostitutes to engage in drug-fueled sexual performances.
US District Judge Arun Subramanian, who oversaw Combs' trial in Manhattan, approved the date on Tuesday following a request from Combs' lawyer Marc Agnifilo. Prosecutors and probation officers agreed to the date.
Combs, 55, remains in the Brooklyn jail where he has been held since his arrest last September, even though jurors cleared him of the most serious charges he faced.
Jurors acquitted Combs on July 2 on sex trafficking and racketeering charges that could have put him behind bars for life. They convicted him on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
The mixed verdict was viewed widely as a disappointment for prosecutors, while Combs and his supporters expressed jubilation.
Prosecutors accused Combs of coercing two former girlfriends, Casandra "Cassie" Ventura and a woman who testified under the pseudonym Jane, into unwanted sex with male sex workers, aided by his employees.
A third woman who testified under the pseudonym Mia told jurors Combs sexually assaulted her multiple times during her employment with him.
Combs pleaded not guilty to all five counts he faced.
His lawyers will file their sentencing recommendation by September 19, with prosecutors likely to follow a week later.
Prosecutors have said Combs could face 51 months to 63 months in prison under federal sentencing guidelines, while the defence has said the same guidelines suggested a two-year sentence.
Subramanian is not required to follow the guidelines, and either side may propose different terms. The defence will have until July 30 to ask the judge to set aside Combs' conviction.
Combs founded Bad Boy Records, and is known for having elevated hip-hop in American culture as he turned artists like Notorious B.I.G. and Usher into stars.
He still faces dozens of civil lawsuits accusing him of abuse. Combs has denied all wrongdoing.

Lord Mayor reinvented as US fighter pilot on X, claims account was hacked

A social media account for Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner has apparently been hacked and bizarrely renamed after a highly decorated American fighter pilot. This week, the official X (formerly Twitter) account's name was changed to John R. Alison, with the handle @thanksdaddyfor2. Alison is often cited as the father of Air Force Special Operations in the US. The bio section has been switched to 'Keeping not moving', in what seemed to be a cheeky jab at Schrinner's often-used slogan, 'Keeping Brisbane moving'. Posts previously made by the Lord Mayor's official team remain unscathed, with the last post made on Monday night. As of Thursday, the account had not added any new posts or replies. The account is still following 2300 people, with 7400 followers. After questions from this masthead, Schrinner said his official X account of 16 years was hacked. 'But that hasn't raised any suspicions at X,' he said.

'This is a full-scale takeover': Why the $10 million wedding of Apple heiress Eve Jobs and British Olympian Harry Charles has sparked a full village lockdown in rural Oxfordshire

A picturesque English village has gone into virtual lockdown as preparations ramp up for one of the year's most extravagant weddings between billionaire heiress Eve Jobs and British Olympic showjumper Harry Charles. The bride, 27, is none other than the youngest daughter of late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and American philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs. She and Charles, 26, are celebrating their nuptials with a jaw-dropping four-day affair in the heart of the Cotswolds, reportedly costing more than £5 million (A$10.3 million). Locals say the entire area around the exclusive Estelle Manor country hotel, formerly Eynsham Hall, has been effectively shut down as security teams, helicopters, and convoys of blacked-out SUVs descend on the usually quiet Oxfordshire village. "This is a full-scale takeover of the high-end venues in the Cotswolds for a huge event… there are going to be a lot of VIPs here this weekend," one resident told MailOnline. Another source described the occasion to The Sun as being "planned like a military operation," adding, "It's a society wedding like no other and it's turning rural Oxfordshire upside down. "The sleepy village feels like it's turning into a no-go zone, with secret service operatives and blokes who look like they work for the FBI." The star-studded guest list includes politicians, royals, celebrities and elite athletes from both the UK and the US. Former US Vice President Kamala Harris, who shares a close friendship with Powell Jobs, is expected to attend, along with her daughter Phoebe. Bill Gates' daughter Jennifer Gates is also reportedly on the list. Sir Elton John is set to headline the entertainment, with a performance fee believed to be in the ballpark of $2 million for a one-hour set. Guests are reportedly arriving by private jet to Oxford Airport, before being whisked to the venue by helicopter. Also tipped to attend are Princess Beatrice, Apple design guru Jony Ive, equestrian Jessica Springsteen, daughter of Bruce Springsteen, Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders, and Sofia Abramovich, the daughter of former Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich. Behind the scenes, the Jobs family has enlisted top-tier event planner Stanlee Gatti, known for his work on Christy Turlington's 2003 wedding and Ivy Getty's extravagant 2021 nuptials—to ensure every detail is perfect. Powell Jobs, also shares son Reed, 33, and daughter Erin, 29, with the late Steve Jobs, who died in 2011 from pancreatic cancer at age 56. It's not known whether Eve's half-sister Lisa Brennan-Jobs, 47, will attend. Eve and Harry began dating in 2022 and made their relationship public at the Paris Olympics last year, where Eve was spotted cheering him on at Versailles. Harry, the son of 2012 team jumping gold medallist Peter Charles, followed in his father's footsteps and made his Team GB debut at the Tokyo Games in 2020 before securing gold in Paris. The couple reportedly bonded over their shared love of horses. Eve, a champion equestrian in her own right, has competed internationally and took home a bronze medal at the 2019 Pan American Games in Peru. That same year, she was ranked fifth among the world's top under-25 riders. After graduating from Stanford with a degree in science, technology and society, Eve turned her attention to modelling. She made her runway debut for Coperni at Paris Fashion Week in 2021 and has since graced the pages of Vogue, Vanity Fair, and fronted campaigns for Louis Vuitton. She was also named one of Tatler's "new generation of It Girls" in 2022.
