A judge has denied bail to Sean “Diddy” Combs after a jury convicted the hip-hop mogul of transportation to engage in prostitution, but acquitted him of the most serious charges: racketeering and sex-trafficking.<\/b><\/p>\n

Lawyers for the recording artist had argued he posed no flight risk, pointing out his jet is being chartered in Hawaii.<\/p>\n

But Judge Arun Subramanian cited Combs’ history of violence as he ruled the rapper must remain behind bars until sentencing later this year when he faces up to 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n

In the nearly two-month federal trial in New York City, prosecutors accused Combs of using his celebrity status and business empire to run a criminal enterprise to sex traffic women.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A panel of 12 jurors deliberated for 13 hours before acquitting Combs of three of the most serious five charges.<\/p>\n

He will continue to be held at the same federal jail in Brooklyn where he has been detained since last September.<\/p>\n

The sentencing was tentatively scheduled for 3 October.<\/p>\n
