A judge has declined to grant bail to Sean “Diddy” Combs, potentially allowing the hip hop mogul to be freed to await sentencing in his sex crimes case.

The bond decision came after a jury convicted Combs of federal prostitution-related offences, but acquitted him of sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
