You know, sometimes it is the one you suspect.
This dude is a drummer for a pretty popular band, a quarter million monthly listens on Spotify, and they apparently nailed it on the name.
Yes, a member of "The New Pornographers" is literally, allegedly, a child pornographer.
I guess that's what they meant by "new," huh?
Here's part of the press release from the Riverside County Sheriff's office.
On Monday, April 7, 2025, at 3:55 p.m., deputies assigned to the Palm Desert Sheriff's Station were dispatched to a suspicious circumstance in the 73000 block of Dinah Shore Drive, Palm Desert. Upon arrival, deputies spoke with an 11-year-old male who stated an unknown male adult recorded him on a cell phone while he was using the restroom at the location.
On April 9, 2025, at 5:01 p.m., deputies received a second report at the same location. An employee stated a male was entering and exiting the restroom with juvenile males at the business. Believing the male was the suspect from the previous incident, law enforcement was contacted. Upon arrival, deputies located the suspect, identified as 44-year-old Joseph Seiders of Palm Desert, and took him into custody.
The cops got a warrant and searched his vehicle, house, and phone and found the videos of the 2 boys that he took in the Chick-fil-A bathroom as well as other child pornography.
He's been hit with a whole litany of charges.
The online reaction to this was ... exactly what you'd expect.
As ridiculous and Clown World™ as this is, there are real victims to this crime and what this man allegedly did was really sick and hopefully he gets the book thrown at him.
