Sean "Diddy" Combs faces sentencing in a sordid criminal case that could potentially keep him behind bars for years. 

The famed hip-hop mogul was convicted in July of flying people around the country, including his girlfriends and male sex workers, to engage in sexual encounters, a violation of the federal Mann Act. 

A jury acquitted Combs of more serious racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges. 

Those could have led to a life prison sentence. 

Prosecutors say he should still spend over 11 years behind bars. 

Combs' lawyers want him freed now. 

The sentencing hearing is Friday.
