• Combs has been convicted of two counts related to transportation for prostitution.
• His defense argues he faces dangerous conditions at the Brooklyn detention center.
• Prosecutors insist Combs is a flight risk despite his acquittal on serious charges.
• The judge denied Combs' initial bail request citing potential danger to the community.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal team has filed a motion seeking his release on a $50 million bond ahead of his sentencing scheduled for October 3. This request follows a jury verdict in which Combs was acquitted of the most serious charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking, although he was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. His attorney, Marc Agnifilo, expressed that Combs should not remain jailed for his conduct, particularly highlighting that others convicted of similar offenses were often granted bail before sentencing, according to Reuters and South China Morning Post.

In the legal filing, Combs' defense underscores the dangerous and violent conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he has been held since September. They argue that he may be the only person currently incarcerated in the U.S. solely for hiring escort services. Judge Arun Subramanian had previously denied Combs' bail request citing concerns about a “lack of danger to any person or the community.” Defence documents emphasize that the celebrity faces serious threats while in custody, according to HuffPost and Los Angeles Times.

Combs, who has faced a potential prison sentence of up to ten years for the charges he was convicted of, maintains that he did not profit financially from the alleged acts of prostitution and characterized his lifestyle as “swinging.” The prosecution has stated that Combs represents a flight risk, complicating his release submission. The U.S. attorney's office did not comment on the motion at the time of inquiry, according to Channel News Asia and South China Morning Post.
