why is diddy in jail

Sean "Diddy" Combs is in jail because he was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, involving coercion, violence, and abuse against women. Although he was acquitted of the more serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, the judge found him a flight risk and a danger to the community, denying him bail ahead of his sentencing scheduled for October 3, 2025. Combs has been held in a federal detention center in Brooklyn since his arrest in September 2024 and remains incarcerated due to the mandatory nature of imprisonment for his convictions and concerns about his conduct related to violence and coercion during the alleged offenses.
