So, here we are—June 2nd, under the watchful eye of Gemini season’s dual energies, and the cosmos certainly isn’t holding back today. Sean “Diddy” Combs just had a judge slam the door on his bail after a federal sex trafficking trial, even after he was acquitted on three counts. Isn’t it wild how the stars sometimes align in the courtroom drama? While Diddy breezed past the racketeering and some sex trafficking charges, the guilty verdict for transportation for prostitution lingers like a shadow—potentially sentencing him to up to 20 years behind bars. Now, you might wonder: could his Mercury-ruled Gemini charm sway the legal tides, or is this a cosmic sign to lay low? The judge weighed heartfelt letters from both sides but denied bail, citing safety concerns and flight risk. It’s one legal rollercoaster, sprinkled with celestial irony.

A judge has denied Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs bail in a huge update following the conclusion of his federal sex trafficking trial.
Earlier today (2 June), the 55-year-old was acquitted on three out of five counts by New York judge Judge Arun Subramanian, after a jury returned a not guilty verdict for the charges of racketeering and two counts of sex trafficking.
However, the mogul received a guilty verdict on two counts of transportation for prostitution in regards to his former partner’s Cassie Ventura and a woman referred to as ‘Jane’, which means he could still face up to 20 years in prison.
Combs had pleaded not guilty and denied all the charges made against him.
Judge Subramanian has not made the decision to grant Combs bail, following both the defence and prosecution teams submitting letters for consideration.

According to the BBC, the letter submitted by prosecution lawyers argued that Combs should not be released as the two counts he’s been found guilty of are classified as violent and therefore should ‘mandate detention following the defendant’s conviction’.
Prosecution lawyers also suggested the length of sentence which Combs could face, stating ‘guidelines range of 51 to 63 months’ imprisonment’ around four to five years in prison.
The letter adds that he would also be deemed a flight risk.
Meanwhile, Combs’ defence team have argued the disgraced rapper has shown ‘model behaviour’ while in prison, demonstrating ‘that he is trustworthy and committed to respecting the legal process’.
“Mr Combs has obeyed the court, respected these proceedings, and demonstrated model behaviour,” the letter read.
“And today, the jury unambiguously rejected the government’s allegations that Mr Combs ran a years-long criminal enterprise in sex trafficking – the core of the government’s case.”
They have suggested he could remain at his Miami home with a bail of $1million (£733,500).

Following his arrest on on 16 September 2024, Combs has remained behind bars at Metropolitan Detention Centre. He’d previously made multiple attempts at bail prior to the beginning of his trial last month – all of which were denied.
The Bad Boy records founder made three requests to be granted bail prior to the start of his trial, with Judge Subramanian concluding the mogul was too significant of a risk to be released.
“The Court finds that the government has shown by clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the safety of the community,” Judge Subramanian said in November.
