Joe Seiders, a member of the New Pornographers, was arrested for possession of child pornography following incidents reported at a Chick-fil-A restaurant where he allegedly recorded a child. Police captured him after multiple reports, and subsequent searches uncovered more evidence implicating him in several crimes. The band expressed shock and dismay at the allegations, marking a swift severance of ties with Seiders, who has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled for a court hearing soon.
A spokesperson for the New Pornographers said: "Everyone in the band is absolutely shocked, horrified, and devastated by the news of the charges against Joe Seiders-and we have immediately severed all ties with him. Our hearts go out to everyone who has been impacted by his actions."
According to the news release, police responded to "a suspicious circumstance" at a Chick-fil-A where an 11-year-old boy reported being recorded by an unknown male adult. Two days later, Seiders was apprehended after similar complaints.
