American Hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has been denied bail after being charged with sex-trafficking.

This comes after he was arrested in New York on Monday evening.

Manhattan federal Magistrate Judge Robyn Tarnofsky remanded the musician in custody after prosecutors argued he was a “serious flight risk”.

Combs, 54, is being accused of running a criminal enterprise from at least 2008, enticing female victims and male sex workers into drugged-up, sometimes days-long sexual performances dubbed “freak offs.

A 14-page indictment charges him with racketeering, sex trafficking by force, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
