Diddy Denied Bail, Faces Sentencing for Mann Act

Sean 'Diddy' Combs will remain in jail until his sentencing after a Manhattan jury convicted him on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution under the Mann Act, while acquitting him of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges. Judge Arun Subramanian denied Combs' bail, citing his history of domestic violence and violent acts presented at trial, agreeing with prosecutors that his convictions qualify as crimes of violence requiring mandatory detention. Prosecutors also referenced years of abusive behavior, and letters from Cassie Ventura's associates and lawyer supported continued detention due to concerns about retaliation. Combs faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, though sentencing estimates range from 2 to 5¼ years. His sentencing is tentatively scheduled for October. Combs has been in custody since his arrest in September 2024.
