Weezer’s Scott Shriner Performs at Coachella Days After Wife Jillian Lauren’s Arrest
The New Pornographers are cutting ties with their drummer in response to serious allegations.
After Joe Seiders was arrested on charges of child pornography and molestation, the Canadian indie-rock group, shared a statement condemning his actions.
“Everyone in the band is absolutely shocked, horrified and devastated by the news of the charges against Joe Seiders,” read an April 17 statement shared to the New Pornographers’ Instagram Account. “We have immediately severed all ties with him. Our hearts go out to everyone who has been impacted by his actions.”
According to a press release shared by the Riverside County Sherrif’s department, on April 7 deputies responded to reports of a suspicious circumstance at a Palm Desert, California, business and spoke with an 11-year-old boy “who stated an unknown male adult recorded him on a cell phone while he was using the restroom at the location.”
Deputies received a second report at the same location two days later, during which an employee said “a male was entering and exiting the restroom with juvenile males at the business.”
