Famous Drummer Arrested for Shocking Child Pornography Charges!

BBG News

Earlier this month, it was reported that Joseph Seiders, a member of the indie rock group The New Pornographers, was taken into custody due to allegations involving child pornography.

44-year-old Seiders faced charges for possessing child pornography and allegations of secretly filming minors in a restroom at a restaurant in southern California on the 9th of April.

Law enforcement officers apprehended him in Palm Desert following two reports from locals about unusual behavior and questionable incidents occurring inside the restroom of a Chick-fil-A eatery, which they deemed necessary to investigate.

The first incident, as stated in a press release from the Riverside Sheriff’s Office, took place around 4 p.m. on Monday, April 7th. An 11-year-old child reported that a man secretly filmed him with a cell phone while he was using the restroom.

In two days’ time, officials were contacted by an employee who reported observing an adult repeatedly going into and out of the restroom with children.

In my fervor as a devoted admirer, I found myself astounded when the Sheriff’s Office traced back criminal activities, connecting Seiders to not one but two incidents, and even unveiling further offenses such as the heinous crime of child pornography.

As a fervent admirer, I can’t help but share this chilling revelation: Reports have uncovered proof linking him to not one, but two heinous acts, and shockingly, further allegations of despicable acts such as possessing child pornography. This news release is a grim reminder of the darkness lurking in our world.

On Tuesday, Seiders will attend a felony settlement conference at the court following his detainment at the John Benoit Detention Center in Indio.

In my professional expertise, I must emphasize that an individual has been accused of grave offenses involving children and privacy violations. The allegations include the unlawful possession of child pornography, inappropriate conduct towards a child such as annoyance or molestation, and invasions of privacy, along with attempts to do so. These accusations underscore the importance of maintaining a safe and respectful environment for our children and upholding the sanctity of personal privacy.

According to The Guardian, Seiders currently remains in custody with a bond set at $1 million and has a scheduled court appearance on April 22.

The Sheriff’s office continues to probe further, suspecting that there could be more individuals involved.

After news of his arrest spread widely, the rest of the band announced that they had severed their connection with the drummer.

As a devoted member of our band, I am deeply shaken, dismayed, and heartbroken upon learning about the accusations against Joe Seiders. In response to this news, we’ve swiftly cut off all connections with him, as expressed in a joint Instagram post we shared on Thursday.

‘Our hearts go out to everyone who has been impacted by his actions.’ 

Seiders has been a part of the Canadian indie rock band since 2014. 

1997 marked the year when this particular group was initially established. At present, its active members include Neko Case, Carl Newman, John Collins, Todd Fancey, and Kathryn Calder.

Their former members include Destroyer frontman Dan Bejar and Grammy nominee Kurt Dahle.

New Pornographers performed at Coachella in 2007 and 2011.

When their longtime drummer Dahle left in 2014, he was replaced by Seiders. 

Seiders toured with the band and performed on their three most recent studio albums.
