Diddy Offers $50M Mansion-Backed Bail Package in Sex Trafficking Case
Sean "Diddy" Combs proposes a $50 million bail package, backed by his Florida mansion, as he faces serious criminal charges including racketeering and sex trafficking. Currently held in a Brooklyn jail, Diddy has maintained his innocence and pled not guilty to all charges.

The charges, filed in September 2024, allege that Diddy and his associates engaged in coercive conduct, involving threats and abuse. Authorities claim these activities included organized gatherings known as "freak offs."
The proposed bail package includes:
- Equity from Diddy's and his mother's Florida properties
- 24/7 surveillance and home detention
- Restricted communication access
- Passport surrender for Diddy and family
- Limited visitor list for close family members
Judge Arun Subramanian recently denied Diddy's request for a gag order on potential witnesses, citing free speech rights. The defense team continues to challenge the government's evidence, describing it as insufficient and misinterpreted.
The trial is scheduled for May 5, 2025. The success of this bail proposal could significantly impact Diddy's ability to prepare his defense with his legal team in the months ahead. The court's decision on this high-profile bail request is pending and could set a precedent for similar celebrity cases.
