Sean 'Diddy' Combs remains in custody after a judge denied his request to post a $50 million bail. The music mogul pleaded not guilty to a variety of charges Tuesday, including sex trafficking and racketeering. Authorities say additional charges have not been ruled out.
Accused sex trafficker Sean “Diddy” Combs will not be released on bail, a second judge ruled Wednesday afternoon. His legal team had appealed for his pre-trial freedom from “horrific” jail conditions after a judge Tuesday determined that music mogul should remain detained while awaiting trial. Combs was arrested Monday night after a grand jury indicted him on three felony counts stemming from his alleged years-long sexual abuse of women, federal prosecutors said.
His team argued that he shouldn’t be subjected to rough conditions at a federal lockup in New York City, citing murders and suicides that have occurred there in recent years. Courts “have recognized that the conditions at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn are not fit for pre-trial detention,” defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo wrote in a letter to the court. “Numerous courts in this district have raised concerns with the horrific conditions of detention here.
