Sean Diddy Combs Friday blew a kiss to his family who came at the hearing at a Manhattan Court where Diddy made a third attempt for bail pending trial on charges that he denied — sex trafficking, sex racketeering, transportation for engagement in prostitution. His twin 17-year-old daughters, Jesse and D’Lila Comb, were in the court today along with other family members. Diddy entered the court through a side door in a jail outfit, smiled and waved to the family members,
Diddy’s lawyers plan to ask Judge Arun Subramanian to release him on $50 million bond while he prepares for his trial, scheduled for May 2025, on racketeering and sex-trafficking charges.
Tha third bail plea comes as the prosecution accused Diddy of influencing witnesses from jail through third parties. Diddy’s lawyers denied the allegations and condemned the raid in Diddy’s cell.
Earlier this week, the judge ordered federal prosecutors to delete images of the billionaire mogul’s handwritten notes taken during a search of his jail – which his lawyers said were protected by attorney-client privilege and improperly seized. Excerpts from those notes that prosecutors referenced previously cannot be used at the bond hearing, the judge added.
As Diddy has been in jail since September, many lawsuits have been filed against him with accusations of rape, sexual assault, raping minors etc.
The feds opened their investigation in November 2023, around the time Diddy’s former girlfriend Casandra Ventura sued Combs, alleging physical and sexual abuse. He settled her civil lawsuit a day after she filed it.
