Sean "Diddy" Combs will return to court Friday to be sentenced, after the jury in his federal sex-crimes trial handed down a split verdict in July, following a case that captured the nation’s attention.

After being acquitted on the most serious charges − racketeering and sex trafficking − Combs, 55, will await a judge’s ruling on Oct. 3 regarding how long he will remain behind bars for his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Combs’ legal team previously filed a motion asking Judge Arun Subramanian to either overturn his criminal conviction or grant him a new trial. The court denied both motions in an opinion filed Tuesday, Sept. 30, according to court documents obtained by USA TODAY.
