Richard Arnold: US Correspondent on Sean "Diddy" Combs sex trafficking charges and bail package
The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Tuesdays
Music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has pleaded not guilty to a list of sex trafficking charges. The 54-year-old was arrested in Manhattan by federal agents yesterday, following a year in which his career was derailed by several lawsuits accusing him of physical and sexual abuse. New York Attorney Damien Williams alleges Combs created and ran a "criminal enterprise” through his business empire. He says he ran sex performances, which he called 'freak offs', for days at a time. US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that prosecutors are opposing bail for Combs, but his lawyers have submitted a note to the judge saying that he’s never evaded, avoided, eluded, or run from a challenge in his life. He said they’re offering an extensive bail package has been offered, including a $50 million bond, the passports of his daughters and mother, the equity of his home and his mother’s place in Florida, and home detention with GPS monitoring.
