Sean "Diddy" Combs doesn't deserve a new trial because “there was more than a sufficient basis” to support his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, federal prosecutors argued in a new court filing overnight, submitted in response to a July 31 defense motion requesting acquittal or a new trial.

Federal prosecutors argue that Combs “was anything but a producer of adult films entitled to First Amendment protection.”

Prosecutors say they now expect music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs could face a prison sentence "substantially higher" than the four-to-five years they once thought he was likely to face.
