A federal judge in New York denied Sean Combs bail before his October sentencing. The judge determined there were no exceptional reasons for his release, noting a violent incident from a fellow inmate and Combs' risk of flight. Combs was convicted of transportation to engage in prostitution, and the judge emphasized evidence of violence and coercion connected to the case. Defense attorneys argued for his release based on Combs' lifestyle, but the judge dismissed this claim due to the serious nature of the allegations against him.
The record here contains evidence of all three: violence, coercion or subjugation in connection with the prostitution.
While Combs contends that this was nothing more than a case of willing 'swingers' utilizing the voluntary services of escorts for their mutual pleasure, the Government takes the opposite view: that Cassie Ventura and Jane were beaten, coerced, threatened, lied to, and victimized by Combs as part of their participation in these events.
