Sean “Diddy” Combs vowed he won’t have women visit his Florida mansion Wednesday as his defense attorneys beg a judge to release him to home detention until he faces trial on s3x-trafficking and racketeering charges
The 54-year-old rapper was set to appear for a second day in a row in Manhattan federal court at 3:30 p.m. — for a hearing where he’ll request to be sprung from the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center on a $50 million bond.
His attorneys argue that electronic monitoring and a slew of other conditions should assure the trial judge and prosecutors that Combs won’t go on the lam or harm others while he awaits trial.
The hip-hop mogul was held without bail Tuesday after he pleaded not guilty to the three-count indictment.
Prosecutors during that hearing convinced a magistrate judge that no conditions of release could protect the community from Combs and ensure he wouldn’t flee or try to interfere with witnesses.
But Combs’ lawyers filed a letter Wednesday morning adding even more restrictions to their bail proposal which they hope will convince the judge to let him out of jail — including the promise that he won’t have any women visit him, besides his family or the mothers of his children.
The Bad Boy Records founder also noted he’s in the process of trying to sell his private plane — which will be kept in Los Angeles, California, in the meantime — a fact which shows he doesn’t plan to go on the run from the law, he claimed.
Combs has promised to remain on home detention at his $50 million Miami, Florida, estate with GPS monitoring and vowed to restrict his travel to South Florida, New Jersey and parts of New York.
He’s also offering to secure the bond with his Sunshine State mansion and said he and seven family members will all co-sign the bond.
Combs already turned over his passport to his lawyer in April, as well as the passports for five other family members — all of which they plan to hand over to the court, the attorneys said.
Other assurances Combs is offering include adding his mother’s Miami home to his bond, restricting visitors to family, property caretakers and friends — who aren’t considered co-conspirators in the case — and having his security company keep logs of any visitors to turn over to the courts nightly.
He’s also agreeing to weekly drug testing and promised to refrain from contacting any witnesses in the case.
