BREAKING: Heartbreak As Sean Diddy Combs Denied Bail After Trial
According to report, The Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs had his request for bail denied Wednesday after a jury found him guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution, but he escaped more serious criminal charges.
Judge Arun Subramanian denied Combs’ bail bid, determining the rapper will remain in jail until his sentencing.
Combs sentencing was scheduled for Oct. 3, but Subramanian said he was willing to expedite it, before Combs’ defense said it would like to schedule the sentencing for an earlier date.
Subramanian cited a surveillance video in which Combs could be seen assaulting ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura as one of the reasons for his decision to deny bail.
Combs faced five federal charges, pleading not guilty to all: one count of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking, on which the jury acquitted him, and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, for which a jury found him guilty.
The jury acquitted Combs of the most serious charges against him, as both the racketeering and sex trafficking charges could have carried life sentences, while the transportation to engage in prostitution charges could land him in prison for two decades.
