Larkin Grimm Issues Poignant Statement on Michael Gira Rape Allegations
Larkin Grimm, the indie musician who accused Michael Gira of rape on Thursday (Feb. 25), has issued a new statement on the matter, saying that her allegations serve to "protect other women."
Grimm originally accused Gira—bandleader of decade's-old experimental post-punk band Swans—of rape in an incident from 2008. At the time, Gira was producing her record, Parplar. Grimm called the incident "an absolute tragedy." Gira has since defended himself by issuing his own statements on Facebook, in which he derided Grimm's assertion as a "slanderous lie."
