Diddy Files Motion for Release Ahead of Court Battle
Unless you have been living under a rock, you are quite aware of the legal battle ahead of Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Several weeks ago, bombshell reports broke that Diddy has been arrested on sexual abuse charges.
Since his arrest, hundreds of alleged victims have come forward.
Release Him
Thus far, the court has not even considered allowing Diddy free from prison before the outcome of this trial.
His attorneys, however, are not giving up.
On Tuesday morning, his attorneys filed a motion to have him set free prior to the start of the trial.
The filing stated, “Sean Combs requests that this Court order his release on appropriate bail conditions, and order his immediate release pending disposition of this appeal under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 9(a)(3).”
His attorneys continued, "Mr. Combs should be released because, regardless of the government’s untested allegations, the proposed conditions will reasonably assure his appearance and the safety of the community.”
With his money and resources, officials are clearly worried about him fleeing the country to avoid prosecution. And I think it is safe to say, for Diddy, getting out of the country without a passport would not be overly difficult.
In addition to the threat of Diddy running, the court is also worried that he would try to intimidate possible witnesses ahead of the trial.
There is also allegedly a sex tape floating around of Diddy having sex with what may be an underage A-list star, with both faces clearly visible.
The A-lister is apparently aware of the tape and has anonymously stated that this has been very trying and if that tape gets out, his life will be turned upside down.
There is considerable speculation the star in the video is Justin Bieber, who Diddy befriended when he was only 15 years old.
There are plenty of other possibilities, however, as Diddy believed MO was to promise fortune and fame to young budding stars, then take advantage of them.
There is also an attorney who has been taking calls for alleged victims, who reportedly received more than 12,000 calls, and who has allegedly identified more than 100 alleged victims, with more than two dozen underage at the time of the alleged assault.
Reports also surfaced last week that many of the A-lister friends who hung at Diddy’s parties were quietly settling suits to prevent their names from getting in the headlines.
