Sean 'Diddy' Combs Denied Bail for Third Time in Federal Sex Trafficking Case

A federal judge ruled that no conditions could ensure public safety or prevent witness tampering as Combs awaits trial in May 2025.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, forced labor, and obstruction of justice, with allegations spanning decades.
Judge Arun Subramanian cited evidence of violence, witness tampering, and violations of prison rules in denying the $50 million bail proposal.
Prosecutors presented video evidence and testimony alleging Combs' history of coercion, violence, and threats to silence victims and witnesses.
Combs' legal team proposed strict home confinement measures, but the court doubted their reliability given his alleged attempts to evade monitoring while detained.
The trial is scheduled for May 5, 2025, with Combs pleading not guilty to all charges and maintaining his innocence.
