Alice Glass shared a lengthy statement alleging abuse by her former Crystal Castles bandmate Ethan Kath in October 2017. Kath served Glass with a defamation suit soon after, and in December, it was reported that Canadian police were investigating Kath for sex crimes. Several weeks after that news was reported, Glass released a song titled “Cease and Desist.”
Just last week, Kath’s lawyers denied that sexual misconduct claims were brought against Kath by four new women. And on Friday (Feb. 23), Glass said that the suit brought against her has been dismissed. She shared the news via Twitter. “This is a victory for survivors of abuse and sexual misconduct in countries where abusers use the court system to further victimize and keep people silent. WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED,” she wrote.?
