Just a day after headlines rang out that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs had been denied bail following his Monday arrest (September 16) and subsequent indictment on federal charges of racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution, and more, the embattled music and fashion mogul has learned his second attempt at immediate freedom failed.
Via news delivered at a hearing in Manhattan federal court on Wednesday (September 18), a judge reiterated the stance of a previous magistrate that Diddy must remain detained in a Brooklyn federal prison until his trial as he potentially poses as a flight risk as well as a danger to others.
The decision, as first reported by AP, came after Combs’ lawyers renewed their request to let him pay a $50 million bond and await trial under house arrest at his Miami mansion.
In addition to the $50 million bond and house arrest, they promised Diddy would submit to GPS monitoring, travel restrictions, constant monitoring of visitors, weekly drug testing, and even restrict his female visitation to family and the mothers of his children (given the circumstances surrounding his charges).
None of those conditions were enough to sway the judge.
At the time of this report, it’s unclear if Combs’ legal team with go for a third attempt at bail.
