Rapper and music executive Sean “Diddy” Combs has filed an appeal against his denied bail application.
Diddy who is facing Federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution filed a notice of appeal to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. He is seeking to overturn Judge Andrew L. Carter, Jr.’s Sept. 18 decision to deny his request to be released from jail on conditions that include a $50 million bond said USA Today reports.
In a letter to Judge Carter on Sept. 18, Combs’ attorneys requested for Combs to be released from custody on a $50 million bond secured by the equity in his and his mother’s houses in Florida on the grounds that he had made himself available to be detained by the government. The letter also noted Combs, his daughters and his mother had surrendered their passports to his legal counsel.
