Sean 'Diddy' Combs denied bail for a 3rd time


Sean "Diddy" Combs will be incarcerated until his sex trafficking trial in May 2025. On Wednesday, the defense's third effort to release the 54-year-old music mogul was turned down. The federal case against the founder of Bad Boy Records has been quite active over the past two weeks. U. S. The government presented "clear and convincing evidence" that "no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the safety of the community" if he were released, according to District Judge Arun Subramanian. 


The judge referenced Combs's "history and characteristics," the "nature and seriousness of the danger that would be posed by the person's release," the "weight of the evidence" against the music mogul, and the "nature and circumstances of the offense charged.". "After Combs was twice refused bail, his attorneys put forth comprehensive $50 million package in an attempt to secure their client's release.

An approved guest list, which reportedly only permitted female visitors who were family members, home confinement with GPS monitoring at an apartment in New York City, and round-the-clock private security monitoring of Combs were all part of the most recent offer. This was strongly opposed by the government, which believes Combs poses a threat to others and has accused him of witness tampering, even while incarcerated. 

Subramanian referenced the charges listed in Combs' federal indictment in his written ruling. According to allegations, Combs "abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual fantasies" for decades.
