This report was made in 2021/22 before allegations of sexual misconduct were levelled against Till Lindeman. Numerous women have described a system of grooming of young female fans for sex with the singer. In the meantime German prosecutors have closed a sexual assault investigation into Till Lindemann citing a lack of evidence. https://www.dw.com/en/rammstein-till-...
