Sean Combs Was Just an Escort Client Like Eliot Spitzer, Lawyer Argues
(Bloomberg Law) -Sean “Diddy” Combs’ plans an objection that claims that the federal prostitution regulation to which he was convicted does not apply for his customers.
For example: Eliot Spitzer. The former New York Governor was a regular client of the Emperor Club – the Escort Ring Spitzer Possible – and Combs lawyer Marc Agnifilo did not prosecute Spitzer, who was in the same position as the undisputed Combs. “Therefore, it usually reveals such cases with a concrete example that they will not prosecute.”
Combs, accused of hiring sex workers for the so -called “freak” parties, was sentenced to a century -old Mann law, a century -old law that prohibits the transport of an individual inter -state for commercial sex. Spitzer was investigated to hire prostitutes before refusing to prosecute the US lawyer Michael Garcia at that time.
Spitzer apologized for his actions and resigned in 2008. (He did not answer the request request.)
Agnifilo, the team, the statute, “essentially implemented for a John remotely questioned whether the appeal of the arguments of the arguments said – a person who uses the services of a sex worker, a person who does not earn money from the prostitution business”.
Manhattan Regional Prosecutor’s Office former prosecutor Agnifilo, “Cowboys one of the angels, one of the porn stars, Combs, Combs and his girlfriend” adults and willing, enthusiastic participants, “he said.” There was no sacrifice. ”
He said that most Mann ACT cases contain children, a reluctant participant or “actually a pimp”.
At the state level, Agnifilo has stopped prosecution of many major cities adult commercial gender buyers or responded to these arrests through treatment programs by yardım helping people who fall into this lifestyle ”.
At the beginning of this month, Combs was acquitted of two charges of gender smuggling and tribute – life -long charges, but prostitute transport was convicted of two points. Each prostitution number carries 10 years, but the combs are not expected to take maximum.
Agnifilo said Combs’s legal team would claim that the time presented is a reasonable sentence – Rombs has been imprisoned in a bad Brooklyn prison since September. “There is no world to take 20 years, because the punishment guidelines will not allow it,” he said.
Music Mogul is currently in a war that will be released before the October 3 sentence. Judge Arun Subramanian told the prosecutors to respond to Combs’ request for release until Thursday and offered to publish a bond of $ 50 million, which he guaranteed by Miami House.
However, the legal team of Combs, including Teny Geragos and Brian Steel, continues to object to convictions. However, this may vary depending on how much the sentence of light or severe combs depends. The team also plans to ask Subramanian to ask for a criminal decision.
After the decision, then-Prosecutor Maurene Comey argued that combs should be imprisoned. “He is an extremely violent man with an extraordinarily dangerous anger that does not show regret and regret for his multiple victims,” camey said.
Subramanian rejected Comb’s request for release immediately after the decision and said the defense accepted the combs of domestic violence.
The legal team that proves the combs has changed since then. Lawyer Jackie Kelly, who supervised the case, went to Flexner Boies Schiller. Commek, who also worked on the government’s prosecution of Ghislane Maxwell, said to his colleagues that he was “fired in a summary” by the Ministry of Justice.
Although Aggnifilo fought in court, “Maureen Comey became a great lawyer and a friend throughout the case. I am very sorry to see what happened to him. He said. A doj spokesman did not respond to the request for comment.
For now, the Combs is at the Metropolitan Detention Center. Previously, the facility, which hosted Sam Bankman-Fried, is the place where Luigi Mangione was imprisoned for the murder charges in the shooting of the United-Salthcare ruler.
Agnifilo said that Combs did not believe that Agnifilo’s firm Agnifilo met Mangione, another customer, because in different parts of the prison, but “I think they will enjoy talking to each other.”
“He wants to be a better person,” Agnifilo said if Combs goes out. When asked if Combs wanted to go back to music, he said, “Your dreams are a little more measured while sitting in MDC.”
