The Gaslamp Killer Suing Sexual Assault Accusers

Following allegations made last month.

More The Gaslamp Killer The Gaslamp Killer

US producer The Gaslamp Killer, real name William Bensussen, is suing the two women who have accused him of drugging and sexually assaulting them for defamation. 

As TMZ reports, Bensussen has filed a lawsuit against Chelsea Tadros, RaeAn Medina and one of their boyfriends, after Tadros alleged the musician engaged in "non-consensual sex with both of us while we were completely incapacitated". 

Bensussen has refuted the allegations, claiming he had consensual relations with both women and that they propositioned him. 

The boyfriend has reportedly been named in the lawsuit for allegedly spreading the sexual assault claims online. 

Bensussen was due to appear at Australian music festivals, Breakfest, Northern Bass and Let Them Eat Cake, next year, however he was axed from all events following the allegations.
