Diddy denied bail after pleading not guilty to sex trafficking crimes
Fox News
Sean "Diddy" Combs was denied bail after being charged with three counts in connection to a human trafficking investigation. The rapper was arrested Monday in NYC.
Combs appeared in front of Robyn F. Tarnofsky in a Manhattan courtroom on Tuesday. Diddy was charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. If found guilty, he faces a minimum of 15 years behind bars or a maximum sentence of life in prison.
The judge decided there were "no conditions" she could impose on Diddy. Tarnofsky pointed out sex trafficking is a crime that happens behind closed doors and the rapper would be hard to monitor even with pre-trial monitoring services. The judge considered alternatives to detainment, but found they were not sufficient. Tarnofsky conceded the weight of the evidence against Diddy is significant.
