US Magistrate Judge Robyn Tarnofsky has ordered that Sean Diddy’Combs be held in jail without bail while he awaits trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
Sean Diddy, who has pleaded not guilty, is facing serious accusations detailed in a 14-page federal indictment. The charges include using his business empire to exploit, threaten, and traffic women for his sexual gratification and to protect his reputation.
Prosecutors allege that Combs, with the help of his associates, ran an enterprise involved in sex trafficking, arson, forced labor, and kidnapping, among other crimes. Two of the charges could result in life imprisonment.
While federal prosecutors have requested that Combs remain jailed until his trial, his legal team has sought his release on a $50 million bond with home detention and electronic monitoring.
