TW for Rape, and Sexual Assault Content
As reported by Lambgoat.com, through a statement from his lawyer, Guitarist Dustie Waring (Between The Buried And Me, Glass Casket) has responded to allegations of sexual misconduct made against him, that have forced him to step back from music for now. In the statement, Waring denies any wrongdoing and claims the accusations are false and malicious, and that the relations were “consensual” in nature. The statement includes details of a seven-month exchange of messages between Waring and the accuser that contradict her story, as well as evidence that the encounter was consensual. Waring has since been forced to take a leave of absence from music, and could take legal action if the accuser continues to make false and defamatory claims.
