Sean “Diddy” Combs is proposing a new $50 million bail package as he awaits trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. He has been denied bail multiple times but his legal team is seeking a more robust bail package, including around-the-clock security monitoring, home detention, and restrictions on his ability to contact anyone except for his legal team. Diddy’s lawyers claim that new evidence has emerged that refutes the government’s claims against him, particularly regarding a 2016 video of him assaulting then-girlfriend Cassie during a “Freak Off.”
The new evidence cited by Diddy’s legal team calls into question the government’s case against him, claiming that the video of him allegedly assaulting Cassie does not support the government’s accusations. Despite his legal troubles and ongoing legal battle, Diddy has remained behind bars since his arrest in September. The case against him began in 2023 when Cassie accused him of sexual assault and rape, which led to a settlement out of court the following day. Subsequently, more individuals came forward with sexual assault allegations against Diddy, prompting Homeland Security to raid his homes in Miami and Los Angeles as part of a sex trafficking investigation.
Diddy’s 14-page indictment was unsealed after his September arrest, accusing him of hosting parties known as “Freak Offs” where he allegedly coerced female victims into participating in elaborate sex performances. The court documents also claim that he distributed controlled substances to the victims as a form of control. Despite the serious charges against him, Diddy has pleaded not guilty to his sex trafficking and racketeering charges, with his legal team continuing to fight on his behalf to secure his release on bail.
In response to his ongoing legal battle, Diddy and his legal team have filed a new request for bail, proposing a $50 million bail package in hopes of securing his release from detention as he awaits trial. The proposed bail package includes stringent conditions such as home detention, 24/7 security monitoring, restrictions on communication, and surrendering passports. Diddy’s lawyers argue that the new evidence and changing circumstances warrant his release from detention to prepare for his trial outside of Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.
The legal battle surrounding Diddy’s sex trafficking and racketeering charges has been ongoing since his arrest in September, with his legal team making multiple attempts to secure his release on bail. Despite the serious allegations against him and the evidence presented by the government, Diddy and his lawyers remain steadfast in their denial of the accusations and continue to fight for his freedom. The proposed bail package represents the latest effort by Diddy’s legal team to secure his release from detention as he prepares for his trial, which is currently set for May 2025.
