Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs appeals for release while awaiting sex trafficking trial

The hip-hop mogul’s attorneys previously said they would appeal to appeals court Judge Andrew L. They filed a notice of appeal Monday with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals asking to overturn Carter’s decision and release them.

Combs, 54, has been held in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since pleading not guilty on September 17 to charges that he used his “power and prestige” to lure female victims to drugs, Had to perform elaborate sexual acts with male sex workers. In events called “Freak Offs”.

Carter rejected a defense motion that would have allowed the “I’ll Be Missing You” singer to be placed under house arrest in a Florida mansion with GPS monitoring and strict limits on visitors.

The judge said the plan, which included a $50 million bail offer, was “inadequate” to ensure the safety of the community and the integrity of the Combs case. Carter said that “no condition or set of conditions” for Combs’ release could protect him from the risk of him threatening witnesses or causing harm.

Combs’ attorney, Mark Agnifilo, had suggested transferring him from the Brooklyn jail, which is plagued with rampant violence and appalling conditions, to Essex County, New Jersey. Later he abandoned that idea.

Combs is scheduled to return to court for a status conference on Oct. 9.
