Singer Alice Glass is standing by sexual assault accusations she made against her former Crystal Castles bandmate Ethan Kath, insisting she will detail the alleged incidents under oath.

The exes hit headlines in October, when Glass claimed Kath had stolen royalties from her after she left the electronic group in 2014, and then blasted him for raping her.

In her lengthy online post, she recalled the early days of their relationship, when she was 15, alleging Kath gave her drugs and alcohol and had sex with her “in an abandoned room in an apartment he managed.”

“It wasn’t always consensual and he remained sober whenever we were together: and he became physically abusive,” she wrote. “He held me over a staircase and threatened to throw me down it. He picked me up over his shoulders and threw me onto concrete.”

Kath, real name Claudio Paolo Palmieri, vehemently denied the claims and filed a defamation suit against Glass in early November, but she is refusing to back down, and has now responded to the legal action, making it clear she will be willing to testify in court about her reported experiences.
