\n\tA<\/span> judge has again refused to release Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs on bail ahead of his October sentencing for interstate prostitution, confirming that the disgraced music mogul will stay in jail despite being acquitted on more serious charges.<\/p>\n

\n\tCombs\u2019 attorneys had argued that after the rapper\u2019s stunning acquittal on sex-trafficking and racketeering counts, he\u2019s unfairly being held in detention for merely arranging consensual sex marathons called \u201cfreak-offs\u201d between his girlfriends and male escorts. The defense lawyers said incarceration under these facts is unprecedented: \u201cThere has literally never been a case like this one,\u201d they wrote last week.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut Judge Arun Subramanian is unconvinced, saying in a Monday (Aug. 4) ruling that Combs\u2019 arguments \u201cmight have traction in a case that didn\u2019t involve evidence of violence, coercion or subjugation in connection with the acts of prostitution at issue, but the record here contains evidence of all three.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\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 writes the judge.<\/p>\n

\n\tDue to these contradictory narratives about whether Combs\u2019 freak-offs were coercive or consensual, Judge Subramanian says he can\u2019t release the rapper at the moment. But it remains to be seen how the judge will interpret these events at Combs\u2019 Oct. 3 sentencing hearing.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe court offers no view as to how the parties\u2019 competing arguments about the evidence will cash out for purposes of sentencing, which is happening in just sixty days,\u201d writes the judge. \u201cAt this juncture, however, the record doesn\u2019t establish the kind of out of the ordinary exceptional circumstances requiring immediate release.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCombs likely faces between two and five years in prison for the prostitution conviction under nonbinding guidelines in October. He\u2019ll have already been in jail for over a year by the time he\u2019s sentenced, and that time will likely get deducted from any prison term.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe rapper\u2019s partial acquittal on July 2 was a major defeat for prosecutors, who could have sought up to life in prison if Combs had been convicted on all the sex-trafficking and racketeering counts he faced.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe government seemed to face yet another blow this weekend, when one of the alleged victims they\u2019d intended to call at Combs\u2019 trial advocated for the mogul\u2019s release. Virginia Huynh, who was listed as a witness but never showed up to the trial, told Judge Subramanian that she doesn\u2019t see Combs \u201cas a danger to me or to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCombs\u2019 reps did not return a request for comment on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
