At this point in time, to hear about a rock musician in hot water over accusations of rape and sexual abuse causes absolutely no one to be surprised.<\/p>\n

But in what appears to signal a somewhat different atmosphere, a band has imploded and disbanded at the impact of the accusations, which is quite a change to the usual \u2018deny-deflect-defend\u2019 playbook most artists implement when dealing with issues like this.<\/p>\n

Allegations against punk rocker \u2018Justin Sane\u2019 say he makes eye contact with young women \u2013 including teens \u2013 at his band \u2018Anti-Flag\u2019 shows, later approaching them to engage in non-consensual sexual acts.<\/p>\n

Loud Wire<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em>A total of 12 further women have come forward with allegations of sexual assault against the musician\u00a0Justin Sane\u00a0(real name Justin Geever), the founding lead singer of\u00a0Anti-Flag, the longtime political punk band who suddenly broke up in July after an initial sexual assault accusation pointing toward the singer and guitarist had emerged.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new allegations against Justin Sane (\u2018just-insane\u2019) point to \u2018predatory behavior, sexual assault and statutory rape\u2019 \u2013 including accusations of sexual relations with a 12-year-old girl \u2013 that go back to the 1990s.<\/p>\n

50 year-old Justin Sane did not reply to the new accusations, but in July, he called the first allegations \u2018categorically false\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe initial accuser, Kristina Sarhadi, implicated Justin Sane on the July 19 episode of the podcast\u00a0enough., saying she was raped by a musician fitting his description without identifying him or the band specifically. But she confirmed to Rolling Stone that she is accusing the Anti-Flag singer.\u201d<\/p>\n

The women say that his abuse and manipulation that included \u2018violent and non-consensual acts\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u201dIt was the most terrifying thing I\u2019ve ever experienced\u2019, Sarhadi claimed of her alleged encounter on the podcast. \u2018I can\u2019t stress how violent he was, and how much I fully believed I was going to die \u2014 that he was going to kill me.\u2019<\/p>\n

But Saradahi initially didn\u2019t know there were other accusers. \u2018I had no idea it happened to anyone else. [\u2026] I felt stupid, embarrassed and confused. Because how could it have happened with this person? He is the anti-rape singer. They are the outspoken feminist band [that] released an album benefiting women victims of crime. It doesn\u2019t make any sense. [But] even in nature, the worst predators have the best camouflage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some accusers have even claimed that the whole band was complicit in the alleged abuse. But in a statement, Anti-Flag\u2019s other members replied:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe trusted everyone associated with the band to maintain a safe and respectful environment. The understanding that abusers can be anywhere further reinforces the importance of survivors speaking out and sharing their stories. Further, we feel strongly that all predators must atone for their inappropriate actions and be held accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Previously, the band had released another statement<\/a> about the band dissolving:<\/p>\n

\u201cA core tenet of the band Anti-Flag is to listen to and believe all survivors of sexual violence and abuse. The recent allegations about Justin are in direct contradiction to that tenet. Therefore, we felt the only immediate option was to disband.\u201d<\/p>\n

They added that they had \u2018never seen Justin be violent or aggressive toward women\u2019 in the 30 years of the band\u2019s lifetime.<\/p>\n
