Prosecutors Oppose Diddy's $50M Bail, Allege Jail Obstruction Ahead of Sex Trafficking Trial

Nov 16, 2024, 05:00 PM

Prosecutors have alleged that Sean 'Diddy' Combs is attempting to influence witnesses and public opinion from jail ahead of his upcoming sex trafficking trial. In court filings, they claim that Combs has been using other inmates' phone accounts to contact family members, encouraging them to reach out to potential victims and witnesses and to create narratives to sway potential jurors. Prosecutors argue that these actions pose serious risks of obstruction and have urged the judge to deny Combs' latest $50 million bail proposal. They also cited Combs' recent 55th birthday video as an attempt to influence the jury pool. Combs' legal team has not commented on the latest allegations. A bail hearing is scheduled.
