Sean “Diddy” Combs has been denied bail for the third time since his arrest in September. Federal Judge Arun Subramanian of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York cited several reasons in the ruling issued on Wednesday, November 27th.

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Subramanian assessed the seriousness of the violent crimes Combs was accused of, including sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson and obstruction of justice.

Other allegations against Combs include the use of firearms, threats and coercion as part of a decades-long criminal enterprise.

The court also found clear and convincing evidence that Combs is a danger to the community, and no condition or combination of conditions would guarantee that the community would be safe if Combs were released.

“The court finds that the government has demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination of conditions can adequately ensure the safety of the community,” the ruling said.

Evidence of violence – such as video footage, text messages from victims and confiscated firearms with defaced serial numbers – as well as Combs’ alleged violation of prison rules while incarcerated were also factors cited by the court. (Combs allegedly used other inmates’ phone accounts, arranged unsupervised three-way calls and used unapproved means of communication in prison.)

Although Combs’ legal team detailed the conditions he would meet if released, such as: B. the lack of a cell phone, the court ultimately questioned the reliability of the suggestion given Combs’ recent alleged disability.

Combs’ claims of inadequate prison conditions also fell short, as the court found he had access to legal resources and time available to prepare for his trial, which is scheduled to begin in May 2025.

Combs was behind bars after his arraignment in September. Two different federal judges had previously denied the music mogul bail.

The founder of Bad Boy Records is accused of sex trafficking, extortion and promotion of prostitution. Although he pleaded not guilty, concerns about witness tampering raised by the judge kept him behind bars until that point.

According to prosecutors, Combs allegedly made “relentless efforts to contact potential witnesses, including victims of his abuse, who could provide meaningful testimony against him.”

In a filing, prosecutors accused Combs of using other inmates’ phone access cards in prison to, among other things, call his sons.

However, the defense claimed that the case against Combs was “thin” and argued that the mogul should be released on $50 million.

Combs’ third bail application included strict release conditions that would have confined him to an Upper East Side apartment where he would have been subject to 24-hour surveillance.

In a later filing, defense attorneys said that if Combs was released, he would not have access to his cellphone, which was in the custody of security personnel, and that cameras had been installed in the apartment.

The charges against Combs focus primarily on “freak-offs,” which authorities say were elaborate sex acts involving male sex workers and women who were coerced or coerced into participating.
