The members of Decapitated had been accused of kidnapping a woman after their live show in Spokane, Washington, on August 31. However, according to newly released court papers, all four members of the Polish death metal band, who have been arrested in Santa Ana, California, are finally accused of gang-raping of the Spokane woman, in the bathroom of their tour bus after the show at The Pin. The court papers state that “Waclaw Kieltyka, Rafal Piotrowski, Michael Lysejko and Hubert Wiecek invited the alleged victim and her friend to their tour bus, where one woman described being excited to be on the bus, and then one of the band members began grabbing her breasts. He was later identified as the drummer, Michal Lysejko. The same woman was uncomfortable and said the band members began speaking to each other in Polish. She described the ‘vibe’ in the bus changed, and one of the members began looking at them like they were prey. The woman told police that Piotrowski began kissing her and she attempted to push him away but he grabbed her arm and spun her around to where she was facing the sink and mirror in the bathroom. She saw in the mirror and out of the corner of her eye each of the band members taking turns raping her.”
The Spokane woman called the police and was found two miles from the venue. She was then brought to the hospital. According to the police, she had “significant bruising to her upper arms consistent with being restrained” and “small abrasions to her knuckles that were scabbed over”. The woman reported that she “was digging her fist into the wall to try and distract herself from what was happening”.
