Diddy denied bail in sex trafficking, racketeering case
Fox News
Sean "Diddy" Combs, the Bad Boy Records founder and billionaire hip-hop icon, has been denied bail in his federal sex trafficking and racketeering case.
Prosecutors had accused Combs of trying to influence witnesses and intimidate victims from behind bars and said he would pose a flight risk if released. They also told the court that his reliance on his vast wealth in his bail application could amount to a "two-tiered" justice system if his proposal were allowed. It involved the mogul paying for a private security firm to monitor him and control some of his communications while on house arrest.
Earlier in the week, celebrity bail bondsman Ira Judelson was spotted at the courthouse attending one of Combs' hearings.
