Sean Diddy Combs' sentencing has been set for  October 3 at 10 a.m. ET after he was denied bail. The music mogul was found guilty on two counts of transportation for pr0stitution but dodged the more serious charges of sx trafficking and racketeering on Wednesday, July 2. After the jury revealed the verdict early Wednesday morning, Combs attorney Marc Agnifilo told the judge that he should be released on appropriate conditions as early as Thursday. The prosecution countered the request, stating that it posed a real risk to let him walk free.Judge Aran Subramanian later announced his ruling, saying it would be impossible for Combs to prove he would not pose a danger to others if released on bail. Using the defense attorneys own words against them, the judge provided examples from the trial in which they admitted to Combs pattern of violence. You full-throatedly in your closing argument told the jury that there was violence here, Subramanian said to Agnifilo, quoting his summation on Friday: We own the domestic violence. We own it.' The judge said the defence had prevailed on getting Combs acquitted on racketeering and sx trafficking charges, but domestic violence is violence. The evidence of such violence, the judge said, will not be considered concerning Combs sentencing, but it can be considered when determining bail. Combs was found guilty on two of the less serious charges in his federal trial, with each carrying a 10-year maximum sentence. The hip-hop mogul was facing a maximum of life in prison if the jury found him guilty of racketeering and sx trafficking charges. Following his detainment in September 2024, Combs had previously offered a $50 million bond backed by equity in his homes and the promise of security monitoring, yet was denied bail three times before withdrawing his bid in December. Meanwhile, a virtual hearing between the judge and the parties to discuss a pre-sentencing report is set for Tuesday, July 8, at 2 p.m, while his sentencing date is slated for October 3 at 10 a.m. ET. The post Sean Diddy Combs' sentencing date revealed appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
