\n\tSean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs lost his second bid to be released from jail after a judge ruled Monday\u00a0 the hip-hop mogul failed to prove he wasn\u2019t a flight risk or a danger to the community.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cIncreasing the amount of the bond or devising additional conditions doesn\u2019t change the calculus given the circumstances and heavy burden of proof that Combs bears,\u201d Judge Arun Subramanian ruled Monday. \u201c(\u2018At trial, the defense conceded the defendant\u2019s violence in his personal relationships. . . . This type of violence, which happens behind closed doors . . . is impossible to police with conditions.\u2019). On this basis alone, Combs\u2019 application is denied.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tThe 55-year-old has been trying to secure his release from Brooklyn\u2019s Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) since last month, when a New York jury acquitted him on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. Although the Bad Boy founder was cleared of charges that could have seen him facing up to life in prison, Combs was found guilty on two lesser counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, resulting in his continued detention until his sentencing on Oct. 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tCombs\u2019 attorneys argued the father-of-seven should be with his family in the interim. Last week, they renewed their request for bail, saying there were exceptional conditions for his release. In a kitchen sink-style approach, his defense team offered a $50 million bail package, raised issues about unfit conditions at MDC, and argued against the Mann Act statute he was charged with. In a separate motion, they asked the judge to set aside Combs\u2019 conviction or be retried on the prostitution charges<\/a> alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tBut Subramanian rejected all of these arguments. \u201cWhile Combs may contend at sentencing that this evidence should be discounted and that what happened was nothing more than a case of willing \u2018swingers\u2019 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,\u201d Subramanian wrote. \u201cThat makes this case unlike any of the cases Combs points to and places it outside the narrow exception to detention that Congress otherwise deemed mandatory.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
