According to DW.com, two women have come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Rammstein keyboardist Christian “Flake” Lorenz. This news comes after frontman Till Lindemann was accused of similar disturbing acts.

DW.com shared a summary of the allegations against Lorenz:

“Jasmin Stevens (not her real name) recounted an incident in 2002, when she was 17 years old. She said she had attended an autograph session for Till Lindemann’s book “Messer” in December 2002. Later the same evening, she drove with Lindemann and Lorenz to the latter’s country house in Brandenburg.

She recalls becoming very intoxicated after consuming a lot of alcohol and lying down on a bed in one of the rooms on the upper floor. She alleges that Lorenz then lay down next to her.

‘I just let it happen to me,’ she said, according to report by German broadcaster Tagesschau. ‘It was like I was switched off.’ She explained that she did not want the sex and, while she did not explicitly say ‘no,’ she believed Lorenz must have been aware of how much alcohol she had consumed.

Stevens has signed an affidavit in court with her story, and has submitted documents confirming her account, including her diary entries from that time. She told the SZ and NDR reporters that she had had years of therapy because of the trauma caused by the incident.

A second woman, Sybille Herder (also not her real name), told the same reporters about an incident in 1996, when she was 22. After partying and drinking with the band in a hotel, she says she woke up with Lorenz lying next to her, with a great deal of pain in her abdomen — It felt like it was ripped apart,’ she told the SZ and NDR.

‘I’d had sex before in my life and I’ve had sex after in my life. I never had pain like that before and I never had pain like that after,’ she added in the same report. She does not remember exactly what happened, or who may be responsible for the pain.”

For his part, Lorenz has denied the allegations.
