From ABC News Headquarters in New York City, this is GMA3.

We begin guys with Sean Diddy Combs asking a federal judge to release him from jail ahead of his sentencing in October.

lifestyle. But I want to point out, remember, Combs was convicted of a prostitution-related

charges. Critics also raised this question of whether this law is outdated. And we can talk about

the history behind it. It actually dates back to 1910, which basically ban the transportation of

women and minors for any purpose of prostitution or basically anything that the government deemed
