Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has been denied bail for a fifth time.
A federal judge gave up against the rapper’s release Monday with reference to “the risk of flight or danger.”
In recent court documents, Judge Arun Subramanian wrote that Combs did not meet the legal standard required for release.
“The court must find with clear and compelling evidence that the person is not likely to flee or pose a danger to the security of any other person or society if released,” the judge wrote, concluding that Combs does not meet this burden.
Subramanian also referred to the strict conditions under which the guarantee may have been considered, noting that such a decision would require “extraordinary reasons” – such as advanced age or serious medical conditions that cannot be adequately controlled in custody. “This is not that case,” the judge said clearly.
The order comes only a few days after Combs’ ex-boyfriend, Virginia “Gina” Huynh, who was referred several times in his indictment as “victim-3”, presented a letter to the court that spoke for his release.
In his letter, Huynh identified himself by name for the first time and urged the judge to consider Combs’ role as a family man and claim that he is “not a danger to the public.”
Combs will be held in the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, where he is waiting for his criminal conviction for a federal conviction on July 2 on the charges of transport to participate in prostitution.
He has been acquitted of more serious charges of sex trade and racketing conspiracy.
