He added that he was going to his first AA meeting and will also be 'seeing a therapist about all this'.

'I want to say that I am sorry. I am sorry to the woman that I did this too, and everything she's had to go through because of it.

'I am sorry to the friend who had to furiously and broken heartedly explain to me what I'd done. I am sorry to all my friends, my family and my partner, and especially to the all too-many of you who are sexual assault survivors,' Magid wrote.

Earlier this year, Magid put together a vinyl compilation album and gave it away for free to his fans.

Several fans thought his decision to come forward was 'brave' and commended him for being transparent about the incident.

Some Facebook users commended him for coming forward while others said the situation was 'inexcusable'. Music director at XRAY.FM, Theo Craig, commented under the post saying Magid needed to 'admit that this wasn't the first time'

But others said the situation was 'reprehensible and inexcusable' regardless of his apology.

Music director at XRAY.FM, Theo Craig, commented under the post saying Magid needed to 'admit that this wasn't the first time'.

'You need to admit that you've dragged at least one past victim's name and reputation through the mud, that you pitted a lot of people against a friend who was doing her best to stand up for a friend and protect others in our community from you,' Craig wrote.

Magid went on to say that he others who have committed such acts should 'come forward and take responsibility'.

'Because you do something really, really bad doesn't make you a bad person, but hiding from what you've done certainly doesn't make you a good one,' he added.

Sgt Pete Simpson of the Portland Police Bureau wrote in an email to OregonLive saying the 'Sex Crimes Unit is aware of the post'.

'At this point, no victim has come forward to file a report with police.'

He added that the department does encourage victims to come forward to police, but there are also 'several alternatives that may appeal to victims instead of reporting to police'.
