Authorities are seeking to keep Diddy behind bars on pre-trial detention following his arrest and indictment on racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges.
U.S. Attorney’s Office Seeks Pre-Trial Detention
On Tuesday (Sept. 17), United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, hosted a press conference to announce the unsealed 14-page indictment charging Diddy with multiple felonies including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and interstage transportation for prostitution. During the press conference, Williams went into detail about Diddy’s alleged crimes and also noted they would be seeking to hold the disgraced music mogul without bond.
“We will be seeking detention,” Williams told the assembled press around the 20:34 timestamp of the video below. “We have filed a letter laying out our reasoning for seeking pre-trial detention. I’m going to be able to expand on what’s in the letter. All of the reasoning contains the law as well. There is a presumption of detention in a case like this. We think that’s warranted.”
