The rest of the band hasn't said much in the last few weeks, but they have maintained that they knew nothing of Watkins sexual abuse of children as young as 11 months. I'm inclined to believe them because they are human beings and I doubt they would associate with Watkins if they knew. The bandmates have finally made their position very clear with a statement.
