Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been ordered to be held without bail after being charged with sex trafficking.

Manhattan federal Magistrate Judge Robyn Tarnofsky made the ruling after an almost two-hour-long hearing where prosecutors and the musician's lawyer argued on whether he should be jailed until he faces trial.

The judge agreed with the argument put forward by the US Attorney’s office that Combs is a danger to the public and the potential witness in the case against him. He pleaded not guilty this afternoon, with his lawyers offering $50million (£38m) for bail.
