Sean 'Diddy' Combs seeks release on $50 million bond ahead of trial
Adds details of proposed bail package in paragraphs 1, 2-3
NEW YORK, Nov 8 (Reuters) -Sean "Diddy" Combs on Friday proposed a new $50 million bail package that the music mogul said would justify releasing him from the Brooklyn jail where he has been held for eight weeks on criminal sex trafficking charges.
The rapper and producer on Sept. 17 pleaded not guilty to charges that he used his business empire including his record label Bad Boy Entertainment to transport women, as well as male sex workers, across state lines to take part in recorded sexual performances called "Freak Offs."
In a court filing, his lawyer Alexandra Shapiro urged U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian to release Combs on a bond backed by his $48 million Miami home and co-signed by several of his family members.
Shapiro proposed that Combs be monitored around the clock by security personnel, and that he have no contact with alleged victims or witnesses in the case.
