Overview

  • Judge Arun Subramanian denied bail for Combs under the Mann Act, keeping him detained at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center pending sentencing.
  • In a brief virtual hearing Tuesday, defense and prosecution abandoned a proposed September date and endorsed the judge’s original October 3 sentencing timeline.
  • The parties agreed that probation interviews and draft reports will be completed by late August, with sentencing memoranda due by mid-September.
  • Federal prosecutors are seeking a 51–63 month prison term, while Combs’ legal team is pressing for a 21–27 month sentence.
  • Combs was acquitted last week of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking but convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
