All Time Low Still Seeking to Unmask Social Media User Who Alleged Sex Abuse

Jack Barakat and All Time Low want Internet companies in Panama to identify the accuser who claimed sex abuse in online statements

The Maryland-bred quartet issued an all-caps statement in October 2021 calling the online claims “absolutely and unequivocally false.” “We are investigating further the source of these false accusations and will be seeking legal recourse as we take these allegations very seriously. The Twitter account has since been deactivated, but the lawsuit included a screen grab of a post attributed to @dietsodasage that reads, “I feel kind of weird about how people took my tweet about the atl situation :/ I didn’t mean for things to go like that so I’m probably going to stay priv for a few days.” David M.
