Till Lindemann, the lead singer of the German rock band Rammstein, has firmly denied allegations of sexual abuse made against him by multiple women.
The law firm representing the rocker posted a message on social media. "Our client has been subjected to serious accusations by several women on social media platforms, including Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube," stated Berlin lawyers Simon Bergmann and Christian Schertz.
“It was repeatedly claimed that women were drugged with the help of knockout drops or alcohol at Rammstein concerts in order to enable our client to perform sexual acts on them. These allegations are without exception false."
The lawyers further asserted that they would take legal action against anyone making statements that accuse Lindemann, 60, of drugging and engaging in non-consensual sexual acts with the alleged victims.
"We will immediately pursue legal action in response to all such accusations," they noted.
Shelby Lynn, a 24-year-old Irish fan, accused Lindemann of drugging and sexually assaulting her after a concert in Lithuania. Subsequently, other women came forward with similar allegations against Lindemann and alleging a systematic process of luring young female fans to backstage parties in order to satisfy Lindemann's sexual demands.
In response to the allegations, the German government has called for measures to protect female concertgoers, with Germany's families minister Lisa Paus calling for better protection for fans at concerts.
Anne Hübner, chairwoman of SPD (Social Democratic Party of Germany) Munich, stated that “so far, there are no criminal investigations against Rammstein.”
“Basically, there is nothing so concrete that you would say you have a legal reason to cancel these concerts.”
