The popular rock band The New Pornographers shared a statement following the arrest of drummerJoseph Seiders for possession of child pornography.
On April 17, the Riverside Sheriff's station issued a press release about the arrest in Palm Desert, Calif. Police were reportedly sent to a location in the area where an 11-year-old boy reported that a man had recorded him in the restroom. A couple of days later, there was a second report from the same station that "a male was entering and exiting the restroom with juvenile males at the business." It was believed to be the same person in both instances.

Seiders was booked into the John Benoit Detention Center in Indio, Calif. for "possession of child pornography, annoying/molesting a child, invasion of privacy, and attempted invasion of privacy." No further information was given, and anyone with information related to the investigation was directed to call the sheriff's station.
