Clementine Creevy, frontwoman of Cherry Glazerr, has accused former bassist Sean Redman of “statutory rape” of the group when they were in a romantic partnership while she was 14.
From 2013 to 2016, Redman was a part of Cherry Glazerr before he quit to concentrate on his other The Buttertones project, with Creevy, now 23, telling the Los Angeles Times in 2014 that she and the bassist, then 23 himself, were’ dating’
Creevy cited a post by a woman called Chloe Razink in a comment shared on Instagram in which she says that Redman encountered and had unsafe intercourse with her because she was unaware that he had a girlfriend or that he had contracted the human papillomavirus (HPV).
Creevy went on to say that Redman had acted with her in a similar way, saying, “He and I met at a music workshop in Hollywood. I was going into 9th grade. He asked for my number and started texting me. I told him I was 16, to which he replied, ‘Thats (sic) okay I still feel like a kid myself most of the time.’ “That’s all right, most of the time I still feel like a kid myself.
“We eventually met up at his apartment where he, much to my surprise, had sex with me. I was not expecting it, nor was I ready. I remember feeling confused and uncomfortable that he was trying to have sex with me but I went along with it. He also insisted on not using protection and gave me HPV. That was the first time I had sex.”
“Sean Redman was 20 and I was 14 when he began a sexual relationship with me which is statutory rape,” she went on. “Sean treated me badly. He was emotionally volatile and selfish.”
She went on to brand him a “narcissist and a predator” and accused him of even causing her gonorrhoea by cheating on her, before saying, “It is heartbreaking and infuriating that young girls wanting to play music or see music should ever have to endure being sexualized (sic) by older male musicians in the scene – it is disgusting and it needs to end now.”
