Overview

• Combs’s lawyers filed a fresh bail motion on August 3 asking for his release on a $50 million bond before his October 3 sentencing.
• In a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, Virginia “Gina” Huynh—once identified as “Victim-3”—wrote that she no longer views Combs as a danger and praised his conduct as a father and businessman.
• The 55-year-old was convicted last month on two Mann Act counts for transporting individuals to engage in prostitution and was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges.
• Federal prosecutors filed an opposition on July 31 arguing that no exceptional circumstances exist to bypass the Mann Act’s mandatory detention and that Combs’s history of violence poses a public safety risk.
• Judge Arun Subramanian has not yet ruled on the new bail request, leaving Combs incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
