Diddy denied bail on sex trafficking and racketeering charges

Diddy denied bail on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, During his court appearance, the prosecutors accused the rapper of running a criminal enterprise from at least 2008, which relied on drugs and violence to force women to allegedly “fulfill his sexual desires.”

A 14-page indictment charges him with racketeering, kidnapping, sex trafficking by force, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

According to CNN, Combs will be held by himself at the Special Housing Unit in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, until his next court appearance Wednesday afternoon, according to a law enforcement official.

Diddy’s team of lawyers had filed an offer of $50 million for his bail with the federal court, and according to the documents, Diddy offered his mansion on Miami’s Star Island, worth $48 million, as collateral alongside his mother’s Miami to cover the remaining $2 million. However, the court denied his bid for bond as he was deemed a flight risk.
