AceShowbiz - An investigation into allegations of sexual assault against members of The Killers road crew has found no evidence of wrongdoing.
The band's lawyers launched an investigation into claims made by former sound engineer Chez Cherrie last week (ends July 31). She alleged overhearing crew members boast of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman in a dressing room in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2009.
But the investigators have found "no corroboration" of the story.
Cherrie initially opened up about her claims via social media in 2018, but never identified the band in question, until last week, when she re-posted the article on Twitter.
None of the band members were implicated in the alleged assault.
The incident was not reported to the police, but The Killers asked their legal firm, Reynolds & Associates, to investigate the allegations.
A statement released to the BBC on Monday (August 03) reads: "The accusations of sexual misconduct and a sexual assault backstage... were discovered to be entirely unfounded."
"She (Cherrie) received much of the information she shared from a second or third hand source. She confirmed that she did not witness the alleged events herself."
