Diddy Denied Bail After Mann Act Convictions

Sean 'Diddy' Combs was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges but convicted of two felony counts of transporting women for prostitution under the Mann Act in his federal trial. Judge Arun Subramanian denied his request for bail despite a proposed $1 million bond, citing Combs' violent history and potential risk to the community. Prosecutors and victims’ advocates opposed his release, describing Combs as a flight risk and ongoing threat. The convictions carry a maximum sentence of 10 years per count, though sentencing guidelines suggest two to five years, and Combs has already served nine to ten months in custody since his September arrest. The verdict and trial revelations have severely damaged Combs' public image and career. He remains incarcerated ahead of his sentencing, as the court found he had not demonstrated he was not a danger.
