after he was found guilty and I think he has to do what four years and a half rap some like that

that he has to do correct four years i'm saying four and a half years some like that uh there's

maybe sentenced to just around four years behind bars in criminal case on Friday but he still faces

a mountain of lawsuits accusing him sexual violence sexual criminal sexual violence and other

disturbing acts the nearly seven civil suits will prove to be a headache for Combs as he already faces legal fees in his federal sex crimes case that could easily top $15 million so far.

Damn.

Expert told the post, lawyers were split on if the bad boy records founder would fight like hell or dip into his dwindling estimated $400 million fortune to quickly pay off his long list of accusers.

Attorney Nicole Brennicki said that it wouldn't shock her if Combs moved to settle many of the claims

since the financial impact would be minimal and he would quickly end the continuing headache.

But hip-hop and celebrity Bradford Cohen says the cases he reviewed appear thin and that Combs should fight back.

Settling doesn't make sense in a long run because the others are going to want to pursue you even harder now that you once settled.

One convicted of two prostitution case accounts of his Manhattan federal trial, he was still acquitted on the more serious sex trafficking raps.

He just got exonerated on multiple felonleys. I think he's going to come out

stronger than ever, the attorney said. It's a business decision on how much he wants to spend, and I'm sure his lawyers are not cheap. Now, while this is taking place, okay, Rob, what do you have here? This is Fox News talking about the appeal process. Diddy's attorneys are going to appeal the sentencing. Okay, go forward. C.B. Cotton is

live in New York City with the latest. Hi, CB. Hey, Michael. Between the years, Sean Diddy Combs has

already spent in jail and the credit he could receive for good behavior. It's possible he's out

of prison in two and a half years. But Diddy's defense attorneys are still not satisfied

with this prospect.

What we feel happened today was that the judge acted as a 13th juror, one that we did not

choose, and that he second guessed the jury's verdict. We think that a jury verdict should mean

more than our jury's verdict seems to mean, and so we are

planning to appeal.
