You may or may not have heard of the lead singer of Rammstein, but he's been in the news recently accused of "grooming" a fan for sex:

There aren't many details, and I know that speculation can be unhelpful, but as a fan of the band I've been discussing it with friends.
This may be controversial, but the whole scenario seems a bit weird to me. Firstly, the woman in question, Shelby Lynn, says that no assault took place, so there's that for starters. Secondly, I know the whole groupie thing is a f*cked up power dynamic, and not one I'm a fan of, but there's no way (in my mind) she didn't know what she was getting into. Perfectly fine for her to change her mind and clearly she got herself out of a situation she didn't want to be in.
The drink spiking aspect is entirely plausible, but without a toxicology report will never be known. As for getting wrecked and throwing up at a party, that's entirely on her and I don't think it's fair to try and conflate them.
I will admit I have a lot of mixed feelings about this: if it's proven my Rammstein stuff will be going in the bin, but I don't understand why if nothing has actually happened Till should be publicly accused like this.
Thoughts?
