Welcome to Crimetown, a series produced by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier in partnership with Gimlet Media. Each season, we investigate the culture of crime in a different city.

Sean “Diddy” Combs walked into a Manhattan courtroom hoping for a redemption arc.
He left with 50 months in federal prison, five years of supervised release, and a $500,000 fine — because this time, the court listened to the women first.
In this episode of Hidden Killers, we break down exactly what happened at Diddy’s sentencing — from Cassie Ventura’s brutal victim impact letter to the government’s demolition of his “changed man” image, to the judge’s refusal to let branding outweigh violence.

In this episode of Hidden Killers, we break down exactly what happened at Diddy’s sentencing — from Cassie Ventura’s brutal victim impact letter to the government’s demolition of his “changed man” image, to the judge’s refusal to let branding outweigh violence.
🎙️ What we cover:
📄 Cassie’s full letter, detailing years of control, violence, and coerced “freak-offs”- 📽️ The 11-minute courtroom video montage Diddy’s team used to sell his image — and why it didn’t work
- 🧠 The psychological tactics behind Diddy’s apology and courtroom performance
- ⚖️ Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik’s powerful takedown: “a master puppeteer of his own image”
- 👨⚖️ Judge Subramanian’s statement: “Good works can’t wash away the record of this case.”
- 📉 The sentence: 50 months. No branding. No spin. Just accountability.
This isn’t just about one man’s downfall — it’s about the tension between influence and justice, between what the public sees and what the survivors lived through.
And in that courtroom? Cassie was finally believed.
