Sexual assault stories surface

As sexual assault allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein make national headlines, stories of assault in the music world are also surfacing.

Björk shared a story about being sexually harassed by a film director. "Let's stop this," she wrote on Facebook. "There is a wave of change in the world."

Real Estate have confirmed that the reason for the departure of cofounder Matt Mondanile last year was that "allegations of unacceptable treatment of women were brought to our attention.

A woman has accused producer the Gaslamp Killer of drugging and raping her and her friend four years ago. She says she's now coming forward "for the sake of my mental health and for the sake of other women." The producer, whose real name is William Bensussen, denies the charges.

The woman who recently accused Nelly of rape is dropping criminal charges, though not because she's retracting her story. Rather, she says through her attorney that "she believes the system is going to fail her." (Billboard)
