Attorneys forSean “Diddy” Combsfiled a new motion requesting bail for thejailed music mogul, claiming that new evidence should allow him to be released in advance of his trial.

“The video is not evidence of a coerced ‘freak off,’ but rather a minutes-long glimpse into a complex but decade-long consensual relationship between Mr. Combs and Victim 1,” Combs’ attorneys assert in the filing.

Combs has pleaded not guilty to all the charges he faces. His attorneys had previously proposed a $50 million bail package. But citing potential witness tampering, two judges declined to release the highly influential mogul from custody.

Combs’ lawyers are again asking for their client to be released in a bail proposal they say is “far more robust than the previous” one.

The defense team is proposing home detention with around-the-clock security monitoring and “near-total restrictions” on Combs’ ability to contact anyone aside from his attorneys.

Combs is currently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, which his attorneys have called “not fit for pre-trial detention.”

The mogul’s trial is scheduled for May 2025.
