Accountability in Music • Page 911

I would have a very very big issue if the person giving my kids guitar lessons turned out to have groomed young children in the past. Like come on lol.

 

Thanks for sources y'all, there was no chance I would've found em with my shit memory

 

At this point only @Fucking Dustin can teach Milo guitar lol

 

that tweet could very well also be what i originally saw and i just assumed the mutants on their subreddit were the ones that made it public trying to defend him

 

i'll do it (poorly)

 

He and @David- can both take lessons from me if he buys my guitar

But I'm a terrible teacher

 

You can teach Maisie and we can A/B test them against each other.

 

I will eventually buy this guitar when life stops trying to ruin me lol

 

Sex offenders are normally legally forbidden from even being around children. Jesse should just be happy he’s not in prison

 

he would be in prison if he didn't frame all the accusations as being a sex addict

 

That’s true and you’re right. I don’t know him personally. He could be. You could be. Anyone I don’t know could be. Like the rest of us, my only frame of reference and perspective is informed by the public facing allegations, which I fully believe. But because they have no inference to pedophelia or endangerment to children, it would be pretty strange and reckless to categorize or really even theorize that he or anyone for that matter is either of those things without cause.

 

Thanks for the receipts!

But, who is this person that posted this and was any of this information actually corroborated with details? I feel like I'm digging a deeper hole for myself by asking again, but surely if this was actually scandal-worthy there would be more info somewhere? Otherwise are we just going in circles regarding things that "might" have happened?

Again, in no world am I defending this if this is what happened, but, did it?

 

Two Alleged Victims of Brand New’s Jesse Lacey Detail Years of Sexual Exploitation of Minors | Pitchfork

meant this as a reply to @Jay Maner

it's all right there man. i googled "jesse lacey grooming allegations" and this is the top result! she was 15!

 

Is there a source from the mom group themselves? I'd like to more accurately document any claims for a Google Doc i'm working on.

 

Okay maybe I’m missing something…perhaps there’s more to this than I realize. What should he be in prison for?

 

probably not since this was 3 years ago

 

see my previous post!

 

i'm convinced a lot of defenders/devil's advocate types didn't read the allegations

 

i'm sitting here trying to figure out how/why someone whose entire posting history on this site pertains to JL doesn't know the full scope of the allegations

 

There's no way you're arguing this in good faith. He was accused by two women who at the time were under 18. That's a child. That, is LITERALLY pedophilia. That makes him a danger to be around children. We don't need to give the benefit of the doubt to him and we don't need to go in circles about this when all this information is so easily accessible for people to find. Come on, man.

 

i suddenly got a notification from this thread that i don't really check and i see now why.

 

I think it's just trying to skirt around saying they don't believe the victims.

 

hey you said it

 

Thanks for the response. This piece of JL picture will be left out until such thing surfaces. (I am a researcher by trade and hobby.. my autistic little brain won't let me without adequate sources! I'm not trying to be facetious or "gotcha")

 

I mean do we think people were just making that up 5 years after the initial allegations just for shits and giggles?
