Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Virginia Huynh called on the tycoon to be released on bail before the October sentencing.
Huynh, known as “Victim 3” in the indictment against Diddy, has now revealed her identity for the first time in defense of the founder of Bad Boy Records.
In a letter to the judge, Wheen said he should be allowed to bail “allow him to continue to take care of his family and fulfill his responsibilities while still being subject to court supervision.”
Huynh also detailed her relationship with Diddy: “Like many people, our relationship is not always perfect, we have experienced ups and downs, made mistakes, but he is willing to admit his mistakes and make better decisions in the future.”
She added: “In the following years, he made obvious efforts to be a better person and address the harm he caused. By the end of our relationship, he embodies the energy of love, patience and tenderness, which is significantly different from his past behavior.”
Huynh concluded: “He has been collaborative, respectful and compliant throughout the investigation and litigation process. He has a great connection with his family and community, including children who rely on him to get emotional and financial support. Allowing him at home will also support all involved in the rehabilitation process.”
Huynh is a witness that the prosecutor cannot find before the trial begins.
Didi had previously asked the judge to release him on $50 million in bonds, noting that others convicted of similar crimes are usually released before the sentence.
In one document, Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo said: “Sean Combs should not be jailed for such behavior. In fact, he may be the only person in the U.S. prison to be jailed for any John and of course the only one who has been jailed for hiring adult male escorts.”
Diddy was denied bail after being cleared of the worst allegations of sex trafficking and extortion.
Judge Arun Subramanian, who cites the history of violence by record executives, rejected the bail bid on Diddy’s record of violence.
The sentencing is currently scheduled for October 3.
