Diddy reportedly had access to a laptop in prison to help with his legal defense in sex crimes cases. However, this privilege comes with some limitations.
Diddy will be allowed to use laptop in prison
On December 12, the Daily Mail reported that a judge allowed Diddy to use a court-approved laptop sex service to assist him in reviewing evidence from his arrest on human trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation for prostitution charges. However, he was unable to access the internet while doing so.
Judge Arun Subramanian issued the order last week in the Southern District of New York. “The purpose of the Discovery laptop is to review discovery, not to record or store notes,” Judge Subramanian wrote in the order.
Diddy will be allowed to use the computer from 8am to 3:30pm, “partially” seven days a week. He can only use the device to review evidence uncovered by the prosecution and defense concerning him. Discovery is the formal process by which two parties exchange information that may help prove their claims or defenses.
The embattled music mogul will remain in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center until his trial on May 5, 2025. Diddy’s legal team withdrew the additional bail appeal on December 13.
Didi has pleaded not guilty to sex crimes. Thirty-two civil lawsuits have been filed against him, accusing him of rape, drugging men and women, and physical violence.
