Till Lindemannvocalist of Rammstein, is being investigated by the Berlin Public Ministry for sexual abuse. The decision comes after accusations from fans of the band, that they would have been doped by members of the team before shows, according to the Agence France-Presse (via NME).
“Preliminary proceedings have been initiated against Till Lindemann regarding allegations of sexual abuse and distribution of narcotics,” a spokeswoman said. Further details about the inquiry will not be revealed during the course of the investigation.
In a statement to the news agency, Lindemann again denied the accusations, stating that “all, without exception, are false.”
Reports of sexual abuse began to emerge after the complaint of Shelby Lynn, fan of the band, made on Twitter two days after the group’s performance in Vilnius, capital of Lithuania. She claimed she was doped at a pre-show event.
Second Lynnshe would have been chosen by Joe Letz, drummer, as part of a “select group of women.” They would be taken to the party “Row 0” (Fila zero, in free translation) in addition to another party after the show. On the way to the concert venue, the women would have been photographed and filmed, according to information replicated by Consequence.
She further stated that Lindemann tried to have sex with her and was irritated by the negative response.
“On the accusations circulating on the internet about Vilnius, we can rule out that what is being said happened in our environment. We are not aware of any official investigations related to this matter,” the band countered in a statement.
