Overview
- A woman now 30 told the Süddeutsche Zeitung she met Wecker at 15, exchanged near-daily calls and messages in 2011–2012, and had sexual encounters with him after she turned 16.
- The newspaper reports it reviewed diaries, chat logs and emails that purportedly document the contact and later meetings.
- Through his lawyer, the 78-year-old singer expressed deep regret and apologized, describing his behavior as morally unacceptable.
- His representation said he heavily abused alcohol at the time, was often not in control, and can recall few details of the period.
- The woman remains in therapy and did not file a complaint, and Wecker has canceled November tour dates as his lawyer says he is in inpatient treatment.
