Popular music tycoon Sean “Diddy” Combs is set to stay behind bars following an unsuccessful appeal for bail on Wednesday, September 18.
This comes after his not-guilty plea to serious criminal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. Combs was slapped with these charges in light of multiple allegations of sexual assault, leading to a federal investigation.
His legal representatives tried to secure bail, citing terrible conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, where he is being held. However, their plea was rejected by the attending judge due to the nature of the allegations and accusations from prosecutors of tampering with witnesses.
The charges against Combs, which were revealed on Tuesday, include racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking via force or coercion. These were allegedly carried out between 2009 and 2018 and also include transportation for prostitution between 2009 and 2024.
The indictment against Combs claims that he had a consistent and all-encompassing pattern of abuse, including physical and sexual assault. Some of these alleged acts involved violence against women, and claims suggest his staff also played a role in these incidents.
Prosecutors also claim that Combs manipulated women into extensive sexual acts with male commercial sex workers, which he allegedly termed as “Freak Offs”.
Furthermore, Combs and his associates are alleged to have transported sex workers across states, which authorities claim amounts to sex trafficking and engaging in prostitution. Combs was also accused of drugging women to ensure their compliance.
While Combs was arrested on the night of Monday in Manhattan, the charges were only made public on Tuesday morning. Combs’ lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, denies any wrongdoing on Combs’ part, stating that he voluntarily moved to New York last week in anticipation of the charges and maintains his innocence.
