Sean “Diddy” Combs was denied bail for the third time since his arrest in September. Federal Judge Arun Subramanian of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York cited several reasons in the ruling issued Wednesday, November 27.

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Subramanian took into account the seriousness of the violent crimes Combs has been charged with, including sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson and obstruction of justice.

Additional charges against Combs include the use of firearms, threats and coercion as part of a criminal enterprise spanning decades.

The court also found clear and convincing evidence that Combs is a danger to the community, and that no condition or combination of circumstances would guarantee that the community would be safe if Combs were released.

“The Court finds that the government has demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination of conditions can reasonably ensure the safety of the community,” the ruling reads.

Evidence of violence — such as video footage, text messages from victims and seized firearms with illegible serial numbers — as well as Combs’ alleged violation of jail rules during his detention were also factors the court cited. (Combs is alleged to have used other inmates’ phone accounts, arranged unmonitored three-way calls, and used unapproved means of communication while behind bars.)

Although Combs’ legal team outlined detailed conditions he would meet if released, such as not having a cell phone, the court ultimately questioned the reliability of the proposal given Combs’ recent alleged obstructionism.

Combs’ claims about inadequate detention conditions also fell short, as the court found he had access to legal resources and had time to prepare for his trial, which is set to begin in May 2025.

Combs was behind bars after his September indictment. Previously, two different federal judges denied the music mogul’s bail.

The founder of Bad Boy Records is charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. Although he has pleaded not guilty, concerns about witness tampering cited by the judge have kept him behind bars until now.

Combs allegedly made “relentless efforts to contact potential witnesses, including victims of his abuse who could provide strong testimony against him,” prosecutors said.

In one filing, prosecutors accused Combs of using the phone cards of other inmates at the jail to call his sons, among other things.

However, the defense has argued that the case against Combs was “thin” and argued that the mogul should be released for $50 million.

Combs’ third bail proposal included strict release conditions that would have confined him to an Upper East Side apartment where he would have been subject to 24-hour surveillance.

In a subsequent filing, attorneys said that if released, Combs would not have access to his cell phone, which would be in the custody of security personnel, and that cameras had been placed in the home.

The charges against Combs mainly revolve around “freak offs,” which authorities allege were elaborate sex performances involving male sex workers and women who were forced or coerced into participating.
