Judge Denies Bail for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Ahead of October Sentencing

The court enforced mandatory Mann Act detention provisions based on evidence of violence in Combs’s personal relationships

Overview

  • Combs remains detained at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center after Judge Arun Subramanian rejected his latest bail motion on August 4
  • He is scheduled to be sentenced on October 3 for two convictions under the Mann Act, with prosecutors recommending 51–63 months behind bars
  • The court cited mandatory pre-sentencing detention rules and trial evidence of coercion and violence as grounds for refusing release
  • Combs’s defense had offered a $50 million bond, house arrest at his Miami home and travel restrictions, supported by a letter from Virginia “Gina” Huynh asserting he poses no danger
  • Federal prosecutors opposed bail by pointing to past Mann Act cases where release was denied and arguing Combs lacked sufficient mitigating factors for pre-sentence release
