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.

The day Sean "Diddy" Combs was convicted of transportation to engage in prostitution - but acquitted of the sex trafficking and racketeering charges - his lead defense attorney Marc Agnifilo declared that the verdict was "a great victory" for the disgraced music mogul.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is asking a judge to release him on a $50 million bond while he awaits sentencing in October.
