Yesterday, news broke that Lorin Ashton, aka Bassnectar, has been hit with a lawsuit related to allegations of sexual abuse that surfaced last year.
The plaintiffs, Rachel Ramsbottom and Alexis Bowling, say they were sexually abused as minors by Bassnectar. The lawsuit also asserts Bassnectar engaged in sex trafficking and possessing child pornography.
Today, Bassnectar’s lawyer Mitchell Schuster, said to
TMZ, “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.”
Court documents obtained by
TMZ say Bassnectar first came in contact with the two young women on social media and groomed Rachel and Alexis into having sexual relationships with him when they were minors.
