Federal judge Arun Subramanian will preside over music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs' bail hearing on Friday. The rapper, who is accused of several crimes including sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution, made an appearance at a Manhattan court after renewing his request to be released on a $50 million bail. Several judges denied his multiple requests, citing fears he would attempt to interfere in the case against him.
Diddy's lawyers earlier this month proposed a bail package back by his $48-million Florida mansion. They added that the rapper has agreed to be monitored around the clock by security personnel, subjected to home detention, and will have no contact with alleged victims or witnesses. The 55-year-old has denied all wrongdoing and his attorneys say that all sexual activity described by prosecutors was consensual.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' lawyers asked for his relese, saying that the federal prosecutors in Brooklyn last month allowed the pre-trial release on a $10-million bond of former Abercrombie and Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries, who pleaded not guilty to sex-trafficking.
"There is no legal basis for continuing to force Mr. Combs to prepare for trial from jail," Diddy's lawyers wrote in a Thursday court filing.

It is unlikely that the judge Subramanian will let Diddy out on a bail. The prosecutor in the case, Christine Slavik, said even from behind bars, the music mogul communicated with his lawyers through unauthorized channels.
"The defendant here has demonstrated that either he cannot or will not follow rules," Slavik said. "The defendant, simply put, cannot be trusted."
