A judge ruled that Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs will remain behind bars after his latest attempt at bail . The rapper asked U.
S. District Judge Arun Subramanian to allow him to ditch prison and await trial on a private island. Immediately, the judge insisted: “That is not going to work.
” His attorneys made another attempt to get him out of jail with an offer to keep him held in his New York City Upper East Side apartment. They detailed that there would be three guards stationed around the property, including two within the three-bedroom apartment with him. Plus, they suggested he be stripped of his internet access, using his phone to only call his legal team.
They argued it would be “substantially more restrictive” than him actually being in jail. P Diddy's 'jealous groupies' make rapper's bed in prison, claims former inmate Outrageous video shows two men eating off naked woman at P Diddy party Diddy was arrested on sex trafficking charges after a federal indictment. During his initial arraignment, the judge denied him bail as the prosecution argued he was a flight risk.
However, his defense pressed that they'd been in contact with the U.S. Attorneys Office, working closely and cooperatively.
They pointed toward Diddy's willingness to return to New York, aware of the likely arrest following a grand jury indictment. Nonetheless, Diddy was sent to await trial, which is set for Spring 2025, at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn . Since then, his team continuously made additional pleas for bail, all of which were denied.
His initial bail package included a $50 million bond, financed mostly by the equity in his home. Additionally, according to court documents obtained by The Mirror, the rapper's attorneys "took posession of Mr. Combs' U.
S. passport" which they implied mitigated the flight risk. Moreover, the sentiment extended to his close family as Janice Combs, Chance Combs, Jessie Combs, D'Lila Combs, and Love Combs, "have already surrendered their passports" to Diddy's counsel.
The package was denied by a judge, so the defense extended the terms. They offered to keep Diddy on house arrest where a log of his visitors would be kept in detail. Particularly, they suggested that women would be in limited contact with Diddy as only his close female family members would be allowed to see him.
Their latest bail attempt came with opposition from the prosecution who accused Diddy of contacting witnesses from jail, expressing concern of his potential to continue his alleged actions outside the walls of confinement. They wrote in court documents that they'd reviewed phone logs as part of their investigation. However, that admission came back to hurt prosecutors as they also admitted to reviewing "personal notes" of Diddy, pointing toward his alleged conversations with witnesses.
According to his defense team, those notes were privileged materials taken during a raid of the rapper's cell. As a result, the defense demanded an "emergent" hearing, during which the judge ruled that those materials were to be destroyed and were unable to be used in future proceedings. Diddy continues to deny all allegations of wrongdoing.
