The music mogul, who was convicted in July of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, had asked to be released before his sentencing on Oct. 3.

The disgraced music mogul, who was recently acquitted of serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges, still faces up to 10 years behind bars.

Once part of the government’s case against the music mogul, a former girlfriend wrote to a judge in support of Mr. Combs’s request for bail ahead of sentencing.
