Hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, 54, is set to challenge a judge's ruling that denied him bail after pleading not guilty in a high-profile sex-trafficking case. The musician was remanded in custody on Tuesday, deemed a "serious flight risk" by prosecutors. Combs was arrested on Monday, accused of running a criminal enterprise since 2008 that allegedly involved drugs, violence, and manipulation of women to fulfill his sexual desires.

The indictment against Combs includes charges of racketeering, sex trafficking by force, and transportation for prostitution, carrying a potential sentence of 15 years to life in prison if convicted on all counts. Combs, who maintained his innocence, wore a black T-shirt and grey sweatpants during his court appearance in Manhattan.

In response to the judge's bail decision, Combs' lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, stated that the defense team had already launched an appeal. Agnifilo expressed full belief in Combs's innocence, stating, "He didn't do these things." The court documents allege that Combs used his status and power to lure female victims into engaging in extended sex acts called "Freak Offs," supposedly distributing controlled substances to keep them compliant.

During raids on Combs's Miami and Los Angeles residences six months ago, officials reportedly found firearms, ammunition, and over 1,000 bottles of lubricant. Alongside these discoveries were three semi-automatic rifles with defaced serial numbers and a drum magazine. US prosecutor Damian Williams indicated that further charges might be possible but did not provide details.

Agnifilo continued to back Combs, stating, "There's no coercion and no crime." He believed that Combs was subject to an "unjust prosecution" and emphasized that his client was not afraid of the charges. Combs's lawyers have proposed a $50 million bail package, suggesting that he await trial from his Miami mansion on Star Island.

The federal prosecutors, however, present a different picture, alleging that Combs abused, threatened, and coerced women to fulfill his sexual desires while protecting his reputation. The indictment describes Combs as the creator of a criminal enterprise involved in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, and bribery. It is unclear how many women are considered victims in this case, and the indictment does not accuse Combs himself of engaging in unwanted sexual acts.

This latest indictment follows a series of sexual assault allegations against Combs, including a civil lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend, Casandra Elizabeth Ventura. Although Combs denied the accusations, he settled the case last November. There have been four lawsuits accusing him of sexual and physical abuse, bringing scrutiny to one of the most successful music moguls in rap history.

As the legal battle unfolds, the future of Combs's case remains uncertain. The upcoming court appearance by his lawyers will seek to challenge the denial of bail, and Combs will continue to maintain his innocence in the face of ongoing investigations and allegations.
