Diddy Denied Bail After Trial Verdict, Judge Cites History of Violence and Disregard for the Law

Diddy was denied bail today, and must stay in jail as he awaits sentencing after being convicted of prostitution-related charges earlier in the day.

Diddy Denied Bail

Immediately after he was acquitted of the major charges of sєx trafficking and racketeering conspiracy and found guilty of two counts of transportation for prostitution on Wednesday (July 2), Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, pressed for bond. According to Associated Press, Diddy was convicted of flying men and women around the country, including his ex-girlfriends Cassie and the anonymous witness known as Jane, and male sєx workers, to engage in sєxual encounters, a felony violation of the federal Mann Act.

The government opposed the bond motion. After hearing both sides out, Judge Arun Subramanian decided to deny bail late this afternoon.

“I’ve read the parties submissions and others,” Judge Subramanian said during today’s bond hearing, according to Inner City Press. “The jury convicted the defendant of Counts 3 and 5. For the following reasons, bail is denied.”

The judge cited Puff’s history of violence and disregard for the law as reasons to keep him locked up. “Even if the defendant was solely required to show that he is not a danger to the community, he could not meet that burden,” the judge continued.

“There was violence after the searches in this case,” he added. “As to Jane, there was June 2024 – after the searches of Combs’ residences. This evidences a disregard for the law and a propensity for violence.”

Judge: I’ve read the parties submissions and others. The jury convicted the defendant of Counts 3 and 5. For the following reasons, bail is denied.

Judge: Even if the defendant was solely required to show that he is not a danger to the community, he could not meet that burden. Prior to trial, the court denied bail, and sees no reason to reverse that now. The defense conceded the defendant’s violence

How Much Time Is Diddy Facing?

Two counts of transportation for purposes of prostitution carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. However, according to sentencing guidelines set forth by the prosecution, the range is at least 51 to 63 months (four to five years) in prison. Diddy’s legal team is arguing 21 months (more than a year, but less than two) should be the minimum.

He has spent the last nine months locked up at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center after being arrested last September. A pardon from President Trump also might not be out of the realm of possibility.

Judge: The Court take no position on what it will consider at sentencing, nor what sentence it will impose. But here, the burden is on him, and he cannot carry it. The defense argues the guideline starts at 21 months, the US says 51 months. He’d done 10 months

When Will Diddy Be Sentenced?

Diddy’s sentencing date has been scheduled for Oct. 3.

Judge: I set sentencing for Friday, October 3 at 10 am. I am willing to expedite it.
Combs’ Agnfilo: We would like it expedited.
Judge; We will need an expedited pre-sentencing report from Probation. But I will be available any time.
