Two women have filed a lawsuit against Bassnectar, claiming he sexually abused them when they were minors and accusing him of sex trafficking and soliciting explicit photos of them. The news follows Bassnectar’s announcement from last summer that he’s quitting the music industry.
Rolling Stone reports that Rachel Ramsbottom and Alexis Bowling alleged the now-43-year-old producer used “his power and influence to groom and ultimately sexually victimize underage girls,” according to the complaint. In addition to naming Bassnectar, the suit also accuses his companies and affiliates Amorphous Music, Bassnectar Touring, Redlight Management, C3 Presents, and Interactive Giving Fund of sex trafficking.
Bassnectar’s attorney Michelle Schuster told Vulture, “These outrageous claims—which were clearly designed for the media, rather than for the courts—are completely without merit, and we eagerly look forward to proving so.”
