Sean "Diddy" Combs Denied Bail After Pleading Not Guilty to Racketeering, Sex Trafficking
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here in New York, music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs was denied bail and
will remain in jail until his trial after pleading not guilty Tuesday to
racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and other charges. Prosecutors
accuse Combs of repeatedly assaulting several women, drugging and
coercing women and men to perform sexual acts, and being part of a
criminal organization that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor,
kidnapping, arson, bribery and other crimes since at least 2008. He will
be back in court today appealing his bail denial.
