NewsAugust, 5 Sean 'Diddy' Combs denied latest bail request
Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been denied bail and will remain in jail until his sentencing. The music mogul, who was convicted in July on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, had asked to be released before his sentencing on 3 October. Judge Arun Subramanian ruled on Monday that he will remain incarcerated. Subramanian declared in his ruling that Combs had failed to provide "exceptional reasons" that warrant his release. "As for risk of flight or danger, Combs fails to meet his burden by clear and convincing evidence for the reasons set forth on the record at the 2 July 2025, hearing. "Increasing the amount of the bond or devising additional conditions doesn't change the calculus given the circumstances and heavy burden of proof that Combs bears. On this basis alone, Combs's application is denied." While Subramanian acknowledged the disgraced mogul's complaints about the alleged conditions at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Centre, he noted that Combs had thus far remained unharmed. "But as Combs acknowledges, MDC staff have been able to keep him safe and attend to his needs, even during an incident of threatened violence from an inmate. "The motion for bail is denied." The ruling comes after Combs' ex-girlfriend Virginia 'Gina' Huynh, AKA Victim-3, wrote a letter in support of his release.
