Virginia “Gina” Huynh, the ex-girlfriend of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs referred to as ‘Victim 3’ in his indictment, has penned a letter advocating for his release on bail before his sentencing. She addressed a New York judge, requesting the music mogul be granted bail to continue caring for his family and fulfilling his responsibilities under court supervision.


Huynh, who revealed her identity for the first time, expressed her belief that Combs is not a danger to the public. She described him as a dedicated “family man” who has not displayed violent behaviour in many years. Highlighting the complexities of their relationship, she acknowledged past challenges but stressed Combs’ efforts to acknowledge mistakes and strive for personal growth.
The letter, submitted by Combs’ defence team on Sunday, Aug. 3, aimed to portray a fuller image of Combs beyond the allegations. Huynh shared that Combs had exhibited visible growth and transformation, embodying qualities of love, patience, and gentleness towards the end of their relationship, contrasting with his past behaviour.
Huynh emphasised that this is Combs’ first criminal case and vouched for his willingness to comply with any conditions set by the court for release. She noted his cooperative and respectful demeanour throughout the investigation and court proceedings, as well as his strong ties to family and the community, particularly his children who rely on him for emotional and financial support.
As Combs awaits sentencing on October 3 for two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, his legal team has been actively working to secure his release on bail. Earlier attempts were met with a denial by Judge Arun Subramanian, citing concerns over Combs’ history of domestic violence as posing a potential danger to others.
Combs’ conviction on the aforementioned charges, which each carry a maximum sentence of 10 years, mandates his detention prior to sentencing under the Mann Act. This legislation necessitates exceptional circumstances for release, requiring assurance that the defendant poses no risk of flight or harm to the public.
During his trial, prosecutors portrayed Combs as the leader of a criminal enterprise, alleging offenses such as kidnapping, bribery, and arson. Testimonies highlighted instances where Combs allegedly coerced former girlfriends into engaging in commercial sex acts, including a 2016 incident captured on hotel surveillance footage.
Huynh’s letter serves as a personal testament to Combs’ character and growth, urging the court to consider his evolution and commitment to his family. As the legal proceedings unfold, the case continues to draw attention to the complexities of the criminal justice system and the interplay between personal redemption and legal consequences.
