Cherry Glazerr’s frontwoman, Clementine Creevy, accused lifelong bassist Sean Redman of the ‘statutory abuse’ of the group when they were in a romantic partnership while she was 14.
From 2013 to 2016, Redman was part of Cherry Glazerr before he quit to perform with his other project, The Buttertones, with Creevy, now 23, informing the Los Angeles Times in 2014 that she and the bassist, then 23, were themselves ‘dating.’
Creevy referenced a post by a woman called Chloe Razink in a comment posted on Instagram in which she reported that Redman met and had unhealthy meetings with her because she did not know that he had a girlfriend or that he had contracted the human papillomavirus (HPV).
Creevy goes on to claim that Redman acted similarly to her, stating, “He and I met in Hollywood at a music workshop. I was going to 9th grade. He asked for my number and began texting me. I told him I was 16, to which he replied, “That (sic) all right, I still sound like a child myself a lot of the time.” “That’s cool, a lot of the time I still feel like a child.
“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.”
“It is tragic and infuriating that young girls who want to play music or see music should ever have to witness the sexualization (sic) of older male performers in the scene – it is disgraceful and it needs to end now. “This is tragic and infuriating that young girls who want to play music or see music should ever have to face the seed.”
