The victim wanted to make it clear that no other members of Anthrax were involved, and to the best of her knowledge, they were never made aware of the incident. She goes on to mention that Paul Stanley from Kiss also made a pass at her shortly after.
The allegations were made via a public post on the victim's Facebook page, but have since been deleted.

“Jesus Christ. With all these sexual assault accusations going around by famous people..
Maybe it’s my turn to call out DAN SPITZ formerly of Anthrax. When I was 15 years old, I was at a KISS concert in Edmonton Alberta. In between sets I was invited back stage. I was then ushered onto their tour bus..where Dan walked in wearing a robe and a towel on his head. He FORCED his penis down my throat. It happened so fast. He had my hair wrapped tightly around his fists so I couldn’t move. Not ONE WORD was ever said to me. I vomited on him…it was my way to get out of there. As I ran with tears streaming my face..i was approached by PAUL STANLEY who then touched my hair and said..wow you and me would make beautiful babies with lots of hair. He didn’t even mention my mascara or tears running down my face, or why I was upset. I went back into the crowd…AND TOLD NO ONE. TODAY..I TELL THE WORLD. #METOO“
She later added this clarification:
“I want to make this VERY CLEAR: NO OTHER MEMBERS OF ANTHRAX WERE INVOLVED. As far as I know…NONE OF THEM KNEW. This is about DAN SPITZ. NOT ANTHRAX AS A WHOLE. The band should not be punished, or their name tarnished. Please..if you must say anything, blame the abuser. Not the band. Thank you!”
She concluded her post with the following:
“To all the nay-sayers and a-holes: WHY in the world..of all people..would I accuse Dan Spitz? I wasn’t even a fan of Anthrax. I didn’t even know who they were when I saw them at 15. Surely if I was to make this story up, I could have picked a hundred other so called famous people to blame. #ImNoLiar #TheTruthHurts #DanSpitzIsAChildRapist“
Dan Spitz has yet to make a statement at this time.
