Legal issues edit
On 9 September 2017, all four members of Decapitated (Lysejko, Waclaw Kiełtyka, Rafał Piotrowski and Hubert Więcek) were arrested in Santa Ana, California after a show, and were charged with first-degree kidnapping in relation to an incident alleged to have happened after the band's show at Spokane, Washington's The Pin on 31 August 2017.[6]
During the alleged incident, two women were held in the band's tour bus against their will.[7] Of the two women, one was able to escape. The other informed police that each member of the band raped her on the bus.[7]
After being extracted to Spokane, each band member was formally charged with rape in October 2017.[8] Lysejko and Wiecek's charges were for third degree rape, while Piotrowski and Kiełtyka were each charged with second degree rape.[9] All members of the band plead not guilty to their respective criminal charges.[10]
Later in October the band was released from jail, with each member paying $100,000 in bail and being required to surrender their passport.[11]
Charges were dropped by prosecutors in January 2018, citing the "well-being of the victim", and the scheduled trial later that month was cancelled.[10] The charges were dropped without prejudice, leaving the possibility of future charges open.[7]
