US rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ denied bail after arrest on sex trafficking charge

Hip-hop mogul pleads not guilty after prosecutors say he ‘engaged in persistent and pervasive pattern of abuse’.

A federal indictment against American rapper, music producer and fashion designer Sean “Diddy” Combs has been unsealed, showing the hip-hop artist is facing charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.

A New York judge refused to grant bail to the rapper on Tuesday and ordered him to be sent to jail while he awaits trial.

The charges were revealed a day after Combs was arrested in Manhattan following a six-month investigation by federal authorities.

Combs, wearing a black T-shirt and grey sweatpants, pleaded not guilty to the charges during an initial court appearance in Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon.
