Judge orders Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs to be jailed in sex trafficking and racketeering charges

Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is now facing serious federal sex crime charges will remain in custody as bail has been denied.

On September 17, 2024, a federal judge in New York ordered Combs to remain in jail without bail. The Bad Boy Records owner faces allegations of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution, according to a federal affidavit.

Combs’ legal team proposed a $50 million bail package to secure his release, but the judge denied it. The package included a $50,000 bond, which was insufficient to persuade the court in Combs’ favor.

At the hearing, the prosecution presented disturbing fresh details. They said that on Monday, September 16th, when Combs was arrested, drugs were found in the hotel room. The combination of the serious offenses and the alleged drug presence strengthened the prosecution’s case for keeping Combs behind bars.

The 54-year-old rapper and producer appeared in front of the judge and entered a not-guilty plea. He kept calm while the judge’s decision to deny his bail plea was read out.

According to reports, Combs turned to his family, placing his hand on his heart in a subtle gesture of connection and reassurance after the judge denied his plea to grant the rapper bail and release him to his family. Comb’s family including his son Christian was present during the session

As they left the courthouse, members of the Combs family made the decision to keep silent and avoid making any public statements. The family declined to comment on the judicial procedures, despite the case being highly profiled.

Combs, one of the most powerful individuals in the music industry, is accused of forcing women to engage in long, orchestrated sex performances known as “freak offs,” some of which lasted several days.

The legal proceedings are in progress, and it is unclear how this case will go. The weight of the allegations and decision to imprison Combs without bond, however, suggest that this trial may go on for a while and be complicated.

The case has already attracted significant media attention, as fans and critics alike await further developments.
