Yeah, fuck this guy. I like Anti-Flag, and Justin did some really good acoustic stuff a few years back, but I guess they’re now added to the pile of music I won’t listen to any more.
It’s a shame for the other guys, but their response was solid.

“I was one among many made to feel special, manipulated, pressured, and then just thrown to the side of the road,” says Karina, who is using a pseudonym and described herself as sexually inexperienced when she began dating Geever at age 16, right as Anti-Flag was taking off.
After spending time on the tour bus with the rest of the band, Elizabeth says, Geever took her on a walk, where he pulled her into a secluded area outside a building, began kissing her, and stuck his hands down her pants.
