Sean “Diddy” Combs
Sean “Diddy” Combs will remain in federal custody after his lawyers on Wednesday failed in their appeal of the decision that denied him bail.
In his ruling, Judge Andrew Carter said there were no conditions that reduced the risk of witness tampering or obstruction.
The hip-hop artiste and music mogul, who is facing charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, will continue to be held in custody pending his trial. He pleaded not guilty Tuesday.
Prosecutors allege Combs, 54, created and ran a “criminal enterprise” through his business empire that engaged in crimes including sex trafficking, forced labour, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice, according to the federal indictment.
Combs faces a sentence of up to life in prison if convicted.
