Los Angeles (AP) After a jury found music mogul Sean Diddy Combs not guilty of the most severe federal charges he faced earlier this month, he is pleading with a court to release him on a $50 million bond as he awaits sentencing in October.
Combs’ attorney contended in a court filing on Tuesday that the circumstances at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center are hazardous, pointing out that other people found guilty of comparable prostitution-related crimes were usually released before to sentencing.
Marc Agnifilo stated that Sean Combs shouldn’t be imprisoned for his actions. He may be the only person in a U.S. jail right now for being a john of any kind, and he is definitely the only one who is incarcerated for employing adult male escorts for himself and his girlfriend.

Agnifilo had requested Combs’ release on bond as soon as he was found not guilty on July 2.
Judge Arun Subramanian, however, rejected it, stating that Combs had not yet fulfilled the need of demonstrating a lack of threat to individuals or the community by unambiguous and compelling evidence.
Combs joins R. Kelly, Ghislaine Maxwell, and cryptocurrency scammer Sam Bankman-Fried as the most recent celebrity detainee to be imprisoned at MDC Brooklyn, the only federal penitentiary in New York City.
