Late last year, Spokane County (Washington) prosecutors have DROPPED rape charges against all four members of polish death metal warriors DECAPITATED.
ADJOURNMENT IN CONTEMPLATION OF DISMISSAL:
Spokane County prosecutor KELLY FITZGERALD filed a motion dismissing all rape and kidnapping charges, citing "The well being of the victim", as a reason for dropping the charges without prejudice. Polish death metal warriors DECAPITATED could be prosecuted for charges in the future.
On 12/9/2017, SPOKANE, WASKINGTON Judge JOHN COONEY "R and R'ed" members of Polish death metal warriors DECAPITATED, releasing them from Spokane County jail on band members recognition and recognizance after all four men were charged with gang rape and kidnapping three months ago while on tour.
Piotrowski and Kieltyka have been formally charged with second degree rape and first degree kidnapping.
All four members of Polish death metal warriors DECAPITATED bonds were set at $100, 000 each as they surrendered their passports to their attorneys.
On 10/24/2017, all four members of Polish death metal warriors DECAPITATED appeared in Spokane Superior court and plead not guilty.
All four members of Polish death metal band DECAPITATED have separate attorneys and have been told by Judge Annette Plese to NOT have any communication between band members.
Friday, 9/8/2017, all four members of Polish death metal warriors DECAPITATED were arrested after the bands show in Santa Ana, California and charged with kidnapping a fan whom had gotten on the bands tour bus in Spokane, Washington 8/31/2017.
According to SPOKESMANREVIEW.COM, Michael Lysejko (MLODY) , drummer for Polish death metal warriors DECAPITATED was accused of raping a female fan as the allegations are being investigated. The unnamed woman has accused the band with gang rape in the bathroom of the bands tour bus after the bands 8/31/2017 show at THE PIN in Spokane, Washington.
Polish death metal warriors DECAPITATED have posted this statement in context of recent events and allegations as the band stated, "As there is uncertainty regarding a timeline for prospective proceedings and out of respect for fans and promoters, due to the severity of the claims, we have cancelled all planned touring."
ANDY MARSH, touring mates of Australian death core warriors THY ART IS MURDER wrote a letter to the judge stating he saw the said victim in the mosh pit, close to the barricade moshing.
Polish death metal warriors DECAPITATED were ordered to surrender their passports and stay in the state of Washington (U.S.A.).
STEVE GRAHAM, defense attorney for Polish death metal warriors DECAPITATED stated, "There is another side to this". We have witnesses that can testify to the fact that the accuser came to visit the band on her own free will and left on good terms."
THE INDEPENDENT.COM.UK have posted an editorial regarding misogynistic attitudes in regards to kidnapping and rape allegations against DECAPITATED.
FROM DECAPITATED:
Although we finished 2018 completely tired, we are happy.
We would not have been able to end this year on such a positive note without you - our fans, our families & friends, our labels Nuclear Blast and Mystic Production, and our booking agents. Everyone gave their best to help us on this journey and we have given our everything not to let anyone down.
It was a totally new & stressful experience for us: To pick up our instruments again, return to the stage, and play this music that we love. What we got back in return from all of you was worth it. What an incredible feeling.
This also marks Michal's last year with us. We would like to thank him for his friendship, his huge support, and his hard work as the drummer for DECAPITATED. We wish him well on his new path. All the best, BROTHER!
We will take some time before we find and announce our new drummer. Until then, our friend James Stewart (Vader) will join us as a session drummer. Luckily, he found some free time between VADER shows and is able to play some selected live shows. You will all experience his talents soon.
The start of our 2019 tour, Killing The European Cult, will arrive shortly, and I hope to see you there, headbanging and sweating along with us. We are going to prepare a special set for these live shows which I hope will satisfy you all. More shows & festival appearances are still to be announced because we are truly hungry to play more and more.
We thank you sincerely for your continuing loyalty, support, and goodwill.
See you on the road in 2019!
