Band Feels Betrayed After Ex-Member's Child Porn Arrest

08/21/2014
. (TeamRock Radio) US hardcore band Betrayal say they're "shocked and disappointed" after drummer Tony Ramirez was arrested on child porn charges. The 22-year-old was detained by police in Vancouver, Washington in July.

He appeared in court earlier this month, charged with two counts of dealing images depicting a minor engaging in secually explicit conduct. He remains in jail and is expected to appear again in October.

Now the six-year-old band have released a statement, distancing themselves from Ramirez and saying they broke ties with him in 2012. They report: "Tony hasn't been a member of Betrayal for over two years. He had some unfortunate events in his life that did not allow him to commit full-time. If you follow us you would notice that Tony hasn't been in our promo pictures or on tour with us in quite some time." more on this story
