Grammy-nominated DJ and major remixer, Paul Oakenfold, has found himself in the midst of controversy after being sued for sexual harassment by a former assistant. According to Deadline, Jane Roe has accused Oakenfold of exposing himself and masturbating in front of her without her consent.

The lawsuit alleges that the sexual harassment occurred on multiple occasions, starting from the assistant’s first day and without her ability to escape. Jane Roe also claimed that, after reporting the incidents to her management company, she was asked to sign a nondisclosure agreement and was eventually reassigned with reduced hours.

While Paul Oakenfold denies all claims of improper conduct, the allegations against him are serious and raise many questions about the culture of sexual harassment in the music industry. It is important to note that sexual assault and harassment should never be tolerated, and we stand in support of Jane Roe and anyone else who has been affected by such behavior.

As we continue to grapple with issues of sexual assault and harassment in the music industry, it is crucial that we create safe spaces for artists, employees, and fans alike. We encourage anyone who has been affected by sexual assault or harassment to seek support from organizations such as RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline or Crisis Text Line.

In the end, it is up to all of us to speak out against sexual misconduct and to work towards creating a culture of respect and kindness in the music industry and beyond. Let us stand together and support each other as we strive towards a better future.
