Leah Romero, guitarist for the band The Football Club, has quit the band, following sexual assault allegations made against her former bandmate. The statement is below:
In light of the recent allegations I have decided to no longer continue with The Football Club.
These allegations are incredibly serious and though have been vehemently denied, I will still be departing from the band. I believe that Ruby and everyone involved need to focus on resolving this situation through the appropriate channels, and that the band comes completely secondary to this.
I will be donating 100% of my part of royalties and earnings from the band to The Royal Womens Hospital Centre Against Sexual Assault (CASA House), who give support to victims of sexual assault.
