Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs denied bail and will remain in federal detention, judge rules

Sean “Diddy” Combs was denied bail and taken into custody after pleading not guilty in federal court to charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.

Prosecutors argued the music mogul should not be released because he had previously reached out to witnesses and victims.

About the indictment: Prosecutors allege Combs created and ran a “criminal enterprise” through his business empire that engaged in crimes including sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice, according to the federal indictment.

Speaking to reporters after the bail hearing, Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawyer Marc Agnifilo sounded frustrated with the federal prosecutors after Combs was arrested the previous night.

Agnifilo says they will appeal the judge's decision to deny bail.
