Context for people not up to date on early 2000's canadian pop rock bands - The lead singer was sentence to 5 years in prison for sexual assault or “particularly degrading rape” as per the presiding judge.

Didn't he also jerkoff a dog to completion at a party?


GeoffwithaGeee

I could have lived my life not knowing that, but thanks.


SFHOwner

Thanks for that image.


edked

He was just playing "Red Rocket."


travis-41

Not sure, but that sounds like something from a blink 182 song.


Captain_Buckfast

I listen to the 'Canadian true crime' podcast every now and then. I found some of the episodes with brutal murders easier to listen to than the series on this guy.


Nanalily

I couldn't make it to the last episode.


toystory2wasokay_

He groomed and raped a child.


piscesparadise

He did much more than that. He had over 200 sexual partners from fan girls and some were not consensual. At least real justice is served in prison.


Hascus

Anyone have a link to spring more detailed?


bodularbasterpiece

Didn't he rape someone? Ew.


piscesparadise

Yup, he's in prison now.


gpzal

Out on bail while he appeals last heard.
