Overview
- Combs’s latest bail bid was rejected Monday, keeping him in federal custody at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center until his October 3 sentencing.
- Judge Arun Subramanian cited evidence of Combs’s admitted history of violence and potential to tamper with witnesses as reasons that release conditions would be insufficient.
- The defense offered a $50 million bond secured by Combs’s Miami home, along with house arrest, travel restrictions and electronic monitoring.
- Virginia Huynh, identified in court as Victim 3, submitted a letter affirming that she does not view Combs as a danger to her or the community.
- Combs was convicted in July on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution and acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking; he faces up to 20 years under the Mann Act, though advisory guidelines suggest a shorter term.
