Sean Combs was denied a request for bail after being convicted on two counts of prostitution-related charges, carrying a maximum sentence of 10 years. Combs' defense argued that he does not pose a danger and there is no precedent for detention based solely on his convictions. However, Judge Arun Subramanian noted that Combs had a history of violence, including physical assaults on his former girlfriends, which contributed to the denial. The judge stated Combs did not meet release conditions due to the evidence of violence presented during the trial.
"The defense letter reads that 'Combs and two of his long-time girlfriends had a private, intimate life that is not uncommon today...attitudes about sex and morality have come a long way in the last 115 years.'"},{
