In the motion presented on Tuesday to the judge Arun Subramanianwho presided over the Federal High Profile Judgment of ComBs, where earlier this month he was declared innocent of extortion and sex trafficking, but guilty of two transport positions to exercise prostitution, lawyers emphasize the unique nature of the combs situation and argue that retaining it to the sentence at the Brooklyn metropolitan detention center is “inconsistent with the policy of the Department of Justice”.
> “There are exceptional circumstances that justify an exception to mandatory detention and guarantee the release of Sean Com combs,” lawyers wrote in the legal motion of 12 pages.
The motion argues that the processing of combs and its continuous imprisonment are unique in the history of the Mann Law, the federal law that prohibits the interstate or international transport of persons to exercise prostitution. In his trial, the Prosecutor’s Office argued that Comps used its staff, power and influence to force two girlfriends to participate in “Freak offs”: coordinated sexual marathons and with drugs, with hired male sex workers, that the rapper saw and recorded while masturbating.
The jury finally did not accept that combs had violated the rich law or participated in sex trafficking, but He was convicted of the two minor charges related to the Mann Law. His lawyer advocated his immediate liberation after reading the verdict, but Subramanian chose to send combs back to the Brooklyn prison until his judgment hearing on October 3.
Taking this set of circumstances, the lawyers point out in the motion that “literally there has never been a case like this”, in which a person remains imprisoned to pay for consensual sexual relations that involve a long -term adult couple.

Judge Subramanian took into account comb history – the images of the security cameras, widely disseminated, where combs mistreated his girlfriend, Cassie Venturain the hall of a Los Angeles hotel, more than a dozen times during the trial were shown – by decancing the bond.
