SEXUAL ASSAULT – The singer of the German metal band Rammstein, Till Lindemann, accused by several women of sexual assault after concerts, firmly denies these accusations, his lawyers said on Thursday June 8 in a press release.
“On social networks, in particular Instagram, Twitter and YouTube, serious accusations have been made by various women against our client”write the Berlin lawyers Simon Bergmann and Christian Schertz.
“It has thus been claimed on several occasions that women were drugged with GHB or alcohol at Rammstein concerts, in order to allow our client to perform sexual acts on them”they add. “These accusations are invariably false”assure the lawyers. “We will immediately take legal action for all such allegations”they threaten.
Selected by Lindemann during the concert
The case began at the end of May with the testimony of a 24-year-old Irish woman accusing the singer and lyricist of the group of having drugged and sexually assaulted her after a concert the same month in Lithuania.
This testimony freed the words of other young women, all describing more or less the same scenario. The groupies would have been spotted in the front rows of the concerts, filmed or photographed so that Lindemann could make his choice, before for some of them being invited backstage for parties. Some would then have been drugged before being attacked by the 60-year-old singer.
Several concert venues, in Munich and Berlin in particular, where the German group is due to perform, in the middle of a European tour, have given up installing the area just in front of the stage (« Row Zero ») in which the singer would have spotted the young women.
