Accused sex trafficker Sean “Diddy” Combs has been placed on a “procedural” suicide watch by jailers while awaiting trial on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution dating back to 2008. Combs, who is in federal custody in New York City, was denied bail by a judge, but his defense lawyers are considering further legal action to secure his release before trial. The music mogul remains strong and focused on his defense according to a source familiar with the situation. The suicide watch is described as routine for high profile clients, with guards closely monitoring Combs in case he attempts to harm himself. This is a developing story and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
