Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has been denied bail, and must now remain behind bars in New York City as he awaits sentencing on prostitution-related charges.
The 55-year-old rapper was convicted last month of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution for arranging for girlfriends and male sex workers to travel to engage in sexual encounters that he filmed.
He was acquitted, however, of the most serious charges – racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges carrying potential life prison terms.
Combs now faces up to 10 years in prison, and is due to be sentenced on October 3.
But his attorneys last week filed a motion advocating for his release on a $50million bail ahead of his sentencing.
Subramanian ultimately ruled against the motion on Monday, claiming ‘Combs failed to satisfy his burden to demonstrate an entitlement to release.’
