Arcade Fire singer Win Butler accused of sexual misconduct by four people

Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler has been accused of sexual misconduct by four women. The American-Canadian singer is facing allegations by younger fans of the group.

The detailed report has been shared by Pitchfork which stated that three women alleged that the encounters were inappropriate given the gaps in age, power dynamics, and the context in which they occurred. All three women were between the ages of 18 and 23 when the incident took place while he was between 36 and 39.

According to the report, a fourth person, who is gender-fluid, alleged that Butler sexually assaulted them twice in 2015 when they were 21 and he was 34.

In a report, Pitchfork claimed to have seen screenshots of texts and Instagram messages exchanged between them and Butler, as well as spoken with friends and family members who claimed to have heard about the alleged occurrences.

Butler founded one of the biggest indie rock bands with his longtime partner, singer and multi-instrumentalist Régine Chassagne, whom he married in 2003. Reportedly, in 2001, Butler and Chassagne acknowledged the encounters but denied the allegations.

Butler is quoted numerous times in the Pitchfork article, responding to criticism and categorically refuting the majority of the claims. He acknowledges having relationships with the women but denies any coercion.

Butler explained his infidelity in a statement to the website as the result of a depressive episode for which he was using alcohol as self-medication. The lead singer claimed that his wife’s miscarriage was a key determinant in his depression.

He said that his wife was aware that their relationship has been more unconventional than some.
