Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs asked a federal judge on 29 July to release him from Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center while he awaits sentencing for two Mann Act convictions. In a 12-page filing, Combs offered a $50 million bond secured by his Florida estate and three financial co-signers, saying he would remain under strict travel limits and pre-trial services supervision. Combs, 55, was acquitted on 2 July of racketeering and sex-trafficking charges but found guilty on two lesser counts of transporting individuals for prostitution. Each count carries a statutory maximum of 10 years, though prosecutors have indicated guidelines of roughly four to five years; the defense projects 21–27 months. He has been jailed since his September 2024 arrest after Judge Arun Subramanian ruled that videos and witness testimony showed a continuing risk of violence. Combs’ attorneys argue that pre-sentencing detention is rare for customers of sex workers and claim he may be the only U.S. defendant currently jailed solely on such grounds. The motion contends the case is unprecedented and points to Combs’ enrolment in a domestic-violence program as evidence he poses no danger. Judge Subramanian ordered prosecutors to respond to the bail request by 31 July. Sentencing remains set for 3 October in the Southern District of New York.
