According to sources, the judge held that the embattled rapper, who is currently facing federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges, be held without bail. Tarnofsky gave the order after the music mogul pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
The bail denial followed after Diddy was accused in a 14-page federal indictment of using his sprawling business empire to abuse, threaten, and traffic women to fulfill his sexual desires and protect his reputation.
Federal prosecutors, in the indictment, charged Diddy with sex trafficking by force, transportation to engage in prostitution, and racketeering conspiracy.
They alleged the rapper, with help from Combs Enterprise associates, ran an enterprise that he engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor or, kidnapping, arson and other crimes. Combs was said to have abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct from 2008 to now.
