Diddy Seeks $50M Bail Ahead October Sentencing Miami, NYC

News summary

Sean 'Diddy' Combs, acquitted of major sex trafficking and racketeering charges but convicted on two counts related to transportation for prostitution under the Mann Act, is seeking release on a $50 million bond ahead of his October 3 sentencing. His legal team argues that the case is unusual and unfair, emphasizing that the alleged activities involved consensual adult relationships rather than commercial sex trafficking, and they contend Combs poses no flight risk or threat to the public. They have proposed strict conditions for his release, including home confinement at his Miami residence, travel restrictions, substance abuse treatment, and mental health counseling. The defense also highlights Combs' participation in a domestic violence program and disputes concerns over past violence, noting incidents were provoked and largely historic. President Donald Trump reportedly sympathizes with Combs, viewing him as unfairly targeted and has indicated a potential pardon depending on the bail hearing outcome. The court has yet to rule on the bond motion, with prosecutors preparing a response.
