Sean "Diddy" Combs has been denied bail after being convicted of transportation to engage in prostitution, but acquitted of more serious charges of racketeering and sex-trafficking. The judge cited Combs' history of violence as the reason for denying bail, despite his lawyers arguing he posed no flight risk. Combs faces up to 20 years in prison and is to be sentenced on October 3. His lawyers had argued that he had attended a domestic violence program and had not been violent since 2018, but the judge was swayed by a letter from Combs' ex-girlfriend, Casandra Ventura, warning that he posed a danger if released.
