Overview

• On July 29, Combs’ attorneys filed a motion for pre-sentencing release proposing a $50 million bond with residence at his Miami home, passport surrender, travel limits and U.S. Pretrial Services supervision
• He was convicted on July 2 of two Mann Act counts for transporting adults to engage in prostitution and acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges
• Judge Arun Subramanian previously denied bail, citing the Mann Act’s presumption of detention and evidence of Combs’ admitted past violence
• The defense notes that similar non-commercial Mann Act defendants were typically released pending sentencing and warns that conditions at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center pose safety risks
• Combs remains detained ahead of his October 3 sentencing, where federal guidelines suggest a prison term well below the 10-year maximum per count
