Diddy Denied Bail After Prostitution Conviction, Faces Significant Prison Time

Sean "Diddy" Combs has been denied bail following his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, despite being acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Judge Arun Subramanian denied the bail request, citing concerns about public safety, potential witness intimidation, and flight risk, signaling the possibility of significant prison time ahead of his October sentencing. Diddy's legal team proposed a $1 million bond and offered to surrender his passport, but the court rejected these measures, emphasizing the seriousness of the charges and the weight of evidence against him. Supporters have remained loyal, but victims and prosecutors argue that Combs poses a danger to the community and should remain in custody. The denial of bail, now for the fourth time, suggests the judge may be preparing a substantial sentence, which could dramatically impact Diddy's career and freedom. The sentencing date is tentatively set for October 3, but could be moved earlier at the defense's request.
