Sean Combs’ ex-girlfriend Gina Huynh, also known as “Victim 3” in the federal indictment, wrote a letter to U.S. District Court Judge Arun Subramanian pleading for Combs’ release on bond.
Huynh, 33, went missing in May and did not testify against Combs during his 6-week trial.
She identified herself in the letter to the judge in support of Combs being released on bond before his sentencing hearing in October.
Combs, 55, was convicted on 2 misdemeanor counts of transporting his own girlfriends – including Huynh and Cassie Ventura, across state lines for the purpose of prostitution.
He was acquitted on the more serious RICO xes trafficking charges.
Huynh’s message was included in a letter sent to the judge by Combs’ legal team on Sunday.
In her letter, Huynh insisted Combs was not a danger to the public and that he’s a changed man who “has not been violent for many years.”
Huynh’s letter disputed the government’s allegation that Combs was violent toward her.
“I am writing because I do not view Mr. Combs as a danger to me or to the community,” she wrote. “This is his first criminal case. Throughout the investigation and proceedings he has been cooperative, respectful and compliant. He has substantial ties to his family and community, including children who depend on him for emotional and financial support. Granting him bond would allow him to continue caring for his family and fulfilling his responsibilities while still subject to the Court’s supervision.”
Huynh called Combs a good father who has “made visible efforts to become a better person and to address the harm he had caused.”
According to CNN, Combs’ former assistant George Kaplan testified that he saw Combs throwing apples at Huynh in his Star Island home.
However, Huynh said that by the time their relationship ended, Combs had “embodied an energy of love, patience and gentleness that was markedly different from his past behavior.”
The judge may not be swayed by Huynh’s letter since he has shown bias toward Combs by holding him in jail for months while others who committed similar crimes are free on bond.
