American music mogul, 54-year-old Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who was arrested at a hotel in New York earlier this week, and was charged with s3x trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in pr∅stitution has reportedly been placed on su!cide watch as he awaits trial.
He has been remanded to Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center after pleading not guilty, and he has twice been denied bail.
According to sources, the move is seen as a preventative measure, as he is in shock with his mental state unclear.
The U.S. Department of Justice National Institute of Corrections describes suicide watch as ‘supervisory precautions taken for suicidal inmates that require frequent observation’.
Meanwhile, Combs’ lawyers had argued he should be spared jail while he awaits trial and suggested a $50 million bond with electronic monitoring, weekly drug tests, a visitor log, the surrender of his passport, and no contact with women.
All of their arguments still saw him denied bail on Tuesday, after pleading not guilty, and on Wednesday, he was denied bail again.
The Judge, Andrew Carter, gave his reasons,that he was concerned that Combs’ release on bail could affect the case.
Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo had on Tuesday reportedly revealed that Combs is in ‘treatment and therapy for things that more respectfully he needs treatment and therapy for and he’s getting that’.
If found guilty,Combs would face the mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years with a maximum sentence of life in prison.
