Two of The Weeknd’s tour members are under investigation for allegedly raping a girl backstage
A police report says ‘hands, feet and teeth’ were used
Two crew members on tour with The Weeknd are under investigation after a woman claims she was raped backstage following the singer's concert at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio.
Sources say one of the suspects may have filmed the attack, which according to the police report filed with the Ohio State University Police Department, included "hands, feet and teeth" as "weapons."
The report also claims all three involved were under the influence of alcohol.
The report was filed early Wednesday morning, following the concert the evening before. The Weeknd had already left the building by the time of the alleged incident, and the two suspects are not a part of his immediate inner circle.
The XO Tour Manager told TMZ, "Upon learning of the accusations that two members of our tour staff are facing, we immediately terminated their employment. We are working with the authorities to ensure they have access to any information or assistance they may need."
The incident remains under investigation, but no arrests have been made.
