Aubrey O’Day, formerly of the Combs-produced girl group, had also accused hip-hop mogul of trying to buy her silence

A former member of Sean Combs’s Danity Kane girl group says the federal sex-trafficking charges filed against the disgraced music mogul are “a win for women all over the world”.

The singer Aubrey O’Day is not among several women who filed civil claims against Combs alleging rape and other physical violence before an indictment unsealed on Tuesday charged him in graphic terms with a conspiracy involving forced, days-long group sex acts that he described as “freak offs”. But her reaction is notable because she has been an outspoken critic of the Bad Boy entertainment star and executive long before he was indicted.
