Fez — Virginia “Gina” Huynh, identified in court documents as “Victim 3” in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ recent trial, has submitted a letter supporting the music mogul’s release on bail, according to legal filings by Combs’ defense team on Sunday.
Huynh, who was expected to testify but never took the stand during the eight-week federal trial, portrayed Combs as a remorseful and family-oriented figure.
“He was willing to acknowledge his mistakes and make better decisions,” Huynh wrote, adding that Combs’ release would allow him to support his children and contribute to a healing process for all parties involved.
The jury convicted Combs on two counts related to transportation for prostitution but cleared him of the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. He has been held for 11 months at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, with sentencing scheduled for October 3.
Combs’ attorneys argue there are “exceptional reasons” he should be granted bond, proposing a $50 million (approximately MAD 453 million) bail package. Prosecutors, however, maintain that his “extensive history of violence” poses a threat to public safety.
In the indictment, Huynh was named among several women who accused Combs of sexual coercion. Her recent letter contradicts prosecution narratives, stating he has not been violent in years and remains deeply connected to his family and community.
The court has yet to respond to the defense’s renewed request.
The letter’s emergence comes amid heightened public scrutiny of celebrity trials in the United States, with the Combs case standing out due to its intersection of music industry power dynamics, historical abuse allegations, and questions about witness participation.
While Huynh’s decision not to testify raised eyebrows during the trial, her post-verdict support shows the complex relationships at the heart of the case.
