Sean “Diddy” Combs will remain behind bars until his trial on sex trafficking charges in May 2025. The defense’s third attempt to free the 54-year-old music mogul was rejected on Wednesday. It’s been an eventful two weeks in the federal trial against the founder of Bad Boy Records.

U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian agreed that the government had presented “clear and convincing evidence” that “no condition or combination of conditions will adequately ensure the safety of the community” if he were released. The judge cited the “nature and circumstances of the offense charged,” the “strength of evidence” against the music mogul, “history and characteristics” of Combs, and the “nature and seriousness of the danger that would be posed by the individual’s release.”

Combs has been denied bail twice before: Combs’ lawyers then proposed a detailed $50 million package in hopes of getting their client released. The latest offer included house arrest with GPS monitoring in a New York apartment, an approved guest list – no female visitors other than family members were reportedly allowed – and 24-hour surveillance of Combs by a private security guard. The government strongly opposed this, accusing Combs of witness tampering, even while behind bars, and believing he was a danger to others.

In his written decision, Subramanian cited the charges outlined in the federal indictment against Combs. For decades, Combs is said to have “abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him in order to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his behavior. To do this, (Combs) relied on the employees, resources and influence of the multifaceted business empire that he ran and controlled – creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates were involved in, among other things, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, Arson, bribery, etc. were involved and attempted obstruction of justice.

Combs pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Subramanian also wrote, “There is compelling evidence of Combs’ propensity for violence,” as he referenced the 2016 video footage of the rapper appearing to beat his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Combs publicly apologized after hotel surveillance video of the incident was leaked earlier this year.

The judge has yet to rule on Combs’ jail notes, which were the subject of a heated hearing last week. Prosecutors gained access to them after a search of the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York, on October 28. The government claimed it showed the entrepreneur was trying to pay off witnesses from prison. Combs’ defense team argued that the notes viewed were “privileged attorney-client material” that they incorporated into the defense’s legal strategy.

Subramanian said at the Nov. 19 hearing that he would consider whether the notes contained confidential information, which could take weeks, but that he would not take the notes into account when deciding the bail issue. However, he had some questions for the defense at the Nov. 22 hearing about whether the defense would have retroactively labeled the notes in question “legal.” According to Inner City Press, the defense team said it was trying to determine when some of the notes said “legal.”

It’s no surprise that Combs remains behind bars. Legal experts previously told Yahoo Entertainment that the judge would likely uphold the previous rulings since the circumstances have not changed drastically.

On September 16, Combs was arrested by federal agents at a Manhattan hotel and charged with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. He also faces a number of civil sexual harassment lawsuits but maintains his innocence.
