Three weeks ago Bad Boy Entertainment CEO, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, was remanded into custody after his conviction for violating the Mann Act, despite his acquittals on the more serious charges of human trafficking and RICO [click here if you missed that].
Diddy's legal team has proposed a new bail package...
From TMZ
Diddy's legal team -- spearheaded by Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos -- just sent a new bail package proposal over to Judge Arun Subramanian ... rattling off a list of reasons why they believe Diddy should be released from jail before his Oct. 3 sentencing.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Diddy's lawyers argue most folks convicted on Mann Act charges -- Diddy was found guilty of two Mann Act counts -- are released from custody before sentencing.
Diddy's camp says it's ridiculous he's behind bars because he was only convicted of hiring professional male escorts -- who were not minors -- to have sex with his long-term girlfriend as part of threesomes ... they say it was all part of Diddy, Cassie and "Jane" living a swinger lifestyle.
His lawyers say a lot has changed in terms of society's view on sex since the Mann Act was passed 115 years ago in June 1910 ... and they claim Diddy never had sex with the guys he hired, only his ex-girlfriends did.
In the docs, Diddy's defense says he only got violent with Jane in June 2024 after she provoked him with her own violent acts ... and they claim that's the only instance of Diddy being violent since his split from Cassie.
Diddy's proposed bail package looks like this ... a $50 million bond secured by Diddy's Florida estate and co-signed by three "financially responsible people." The proposal says Diddy will reside at his Miami home and limit his travel to the Southern District of Florida and the Southern District of New York. It also proposes he be placed under U.S. Pretrial Services Agency supervision and surrender his passport.
Diddy says if the court wants to add some more bail conditions, that's fine too ... even if it means home detention, treatment for mental health and substance abuse, electronic surveillance and private security.
The judge has yet to rule ... but prosecutors previously argued against Diddy being released before sentencing.
