Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs tried to get witnesses out of jail during sex trafficking trial: Doc

Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly attempted to blackmail victims and potential witnesses and “corruptly influence” public opinion from behind bars as he awaits trial on sex trafficking charges, according to court documents filed Friday and obtained by Fox News Digital.

The 55-year-old rap impresario has been held at Broolyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center since he was arrested in September on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking by force and transportation for the purpose of prostitution.

“Since the suspect has been detained at the MDC, he has continued to attempt to circumvent law enforcement oversight, corruptly influence witness testimony, and further attack the integrity of this proceeding,” prosecutors said.

Prosecutors in Manhattan have urged a judge to dismiss Combs’ latest case bail requestbecause two other judges concluded that he is a danger to the community.

Prosecutors said an examination of Combs’ recorded jail calls showed that he had solicited family members to contact potential victims and witnesses and urged them to create “stories” to influence the jury pool. Prosecutors additionally alleged that Combs encouraged marketing strategies to influence public opinion.

“The defendant has repeatedly demonstrated – even while in custody – that he will blatantly and repeatedly disregard the rules to improperly influence the outcome of his case. In other words, the defendant has demonstrated that he cannot be relied upon to comply with the rules or conditions,” prosecutors stated in the partially redacted documents.

Prosecutors alleged that Combs’ goal was to “blackmail victims and witnesses into silence or provide testimony useful to his defense.”

The disgraced music mogul also allegedly violated prison rules by instructing his callers, including family members and lawyers, to “add other individuals via three-way calls.”

“This practice is also not authorized by BOP (Federal Bureau of Prisons) because it helps conceal the identity of the persons contacted,” the court said.

“The suspect’s repeated circumvention of BOP rules – almost immediately upon arrival at MDC – speaks volumes about his ability to comply with all conditions of release.”

Attorneys and representatives for Combs did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Combs’ alleged attempts to obstruct justice from prison comes ahead of his upcoming sex trafficking trial. He has pleaded not guilty.
