News : Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ex writes letter supporting his release

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ex, Virginia Huynh, has written a letter to the judge pushing for his release.

The ex-girlfriend was supposed to testify against him in his criminal case as Victim-3, but dropped out days before the trial began.

She has now penned a letter pushing for Combs' release on bail.

Huynh, who goes by Gina, was part of the prosecution's case against Combs, initially anonymously referred to as Victim-3.

Before the trial began, prosecutors alerted the court that they could no longer locate Victim-3 and had lost touch with her and her attorney.

Now, in their latest attempt to get Combs released on bail ahead of his sentencing, Combs' defence team has included a letter from Victim-3, who, for the first time, has identified herself by name.

In the letter, Huynh wrote that she does not believe Combs is a danger to the community and he is a committed family man "who has not been violent in many years".

She acknowledged her relationship with the disgraced mogul "was not always perfect," but "he was willing to acknowledge his mistakes and make better decisions in the future".

Huynh's letter was included as an exhibit in the defence's latest filing ahead of his sentencing, which is set for 3 October.

Combs was convicted by a jury last month on two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution.
