His sentence was handed to him on Friday after prosecutors pushed for an 11-year term.

However, Judge Arun Subramanian imposed just over four years after an emotional daylong hearing.

Earlier, there music mogul apologised for the appalling evidence of violence he committed and told Subramanian he was “scared to death” to be away from his family, vowing he “will never commit a crime again.”

Combs’s former girlfriend, Casandra Ventura, in a letter, asked the judge to consider “the many lives that Sean Combs has upended with his abuse and control.”

Ventura, the 39-year-old singer known as Cassie, testified for days while heavily pregnant.

She described in wrenching detail physical, emotional and sexual abuse she suffered while in a more than decade-long relationship with Combs.

Ventura and another woman, identified as Jane, said they were coerced into performing so-called “freak-offs”: sexual marathons with hired men that Combs directed and sometimes filmed.

“The entire courtroom watched actual footage of Combs kicking and beating me as I tried to run away from a freak off in 2016,” Ventura wrote.

“People watched this footage dozens of times, seeing my body thrown to the ground, my hands over my head, curled into a fetal position to shield me from the worst blows,” she said, noting she has nightmares and flashbacks “on a regular, everyday basis.”
