Nothing happened for a week. Now the alleged abuse victim from the Rammstein concert has been questioned by the Lithuanian police.
Rammstein fan Shelby Lynn (24) from Northern Ireland made serious allegations against the band around frontman Till Lindemann (60) almost a week ago. It’s about alleged incidents that are said to have happened at a backstage party of the rockers at the concert last Monday in Vilnius (capital of Lithuania). Lynn claims she was put on knockout drops and abused. She posted a deep blue hematoma on her body on social networks.
Meanwhile, Lynn clarified in a Monday night post: “Till did NOT touch me. He accepted that I didn’t want sex with him. I never claimed he raped me.”
Then on Tuesday night, Lynn shared on her Twitter account to say that she was questioned by the Lithuanian police. The police confirmed to BILD: “Yes, they made a statement.”
Lynn on Twitter: “I’ve just spent almost five hours on video call with the Lithuanian police. They finally took an official statement from me and gave me a file number. I’m incredibly disappointed with the way the pros have handled this.”
Is there an investigation?
Rammstein denies the allegations. The band said on Twitter on Sunday evening: “Regarding the allegations about Vilnius circulating on the internet, we can rule out that what is claimed has happened in our environment. We are not aware of any official investigations into this.”
In response to a BILD request, the Vilnius police said on Tuesday afternoon: “The circumstances of the allegations are currently being clarified. Whether or not there will be a criminal investigation will not be decided until next week.”
Shelby Lynn did not want to comment on a BILD request.
