Lawsuit Alleges Bassnectar Sexually Abused Minors
Apr 6, 2021
A lawsuit was filed against Bassnectar (
Lorin Ashton) on Monday accusing the DJ of sexually abusing two women when they were minors, as Rolling Stone and other outlets reported. The suit also alleges Ashton engaged in human trafficking and manufacturing and possessing child pornography. Ashton announced an indefinite hiatus last July after a number of allegations of sexual misconduct were made against him.
Amorphous Music, Bassnectar Touring, Redlight Management, C3 Presents and Interactive Giving Fund are named as co-defendants on the human trafficking accusations. The suit was filed by Philadelphia attorneys Brian Kent, Stewart Ryan and Alexandria MacMaster of Laffey, Bucci & Kent, LLP and Nashville attorney Phillip Miller of Miller Law Offices.
