The Berlin prosecutor’s office confirmed this Wednesday that it has opened proceedings against Till Lindemannlead singer of the heavy metal band Rammstein around which has exploded a alleged scandal sexual abuse and of power against young followers of the band.
The investigation It has been opened “following several complaints from third parties”as well as ex officio, indicated a spokeswoman, Karen Sommer, in statements to Efe.
The vocalist is suspected of having committed acts “in the sphere of sexual crimes and the supply of narcotic substancesSommer said, adding that the prosecution cannot provide further details at this time so as not to jeopardize the investigation and not jeopardize the rights of Lindemann and his potential victims.
The scandal erupted several weeks ago, after a young Irish woman reported that she had been given drugs at a Rammstein concert in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius, allegedly with the aim of having sex with the vocalist.
This was followed by a flood of testimonials from other womencollected in various German and international media, which denounce the existence of an alleged system around the singer to attract young people with whom he could have sexual relations after concerts.
Some affirm that they felt intimidated or violated by Lindemann’s attitude, while others have declared that the singer abused them or that they had witnessed how other girls behaved as if they were drugged.
Lithuanian police said last weekend that they would not investigate the original complaint against the singer further, presumably due to lack of evidence.
However, in Germany the controversy surrounding the popular band – which until now has rejected all the allegations and has asked that Lindemann’s presumption of innocence be respected – has not stopped growing.
