Adam Young Releases Statement Regarding Daniel Jorgensen Charges

Adam Young (Owl City) has released a statement regarding charges of criminal sexual contact being filed against former touring member Daniel Jorgensen. It can be read below.
To my friends and fans,
My relationship with you is something I both treasure and respect. With a heavy heart, I’d like to address an important issue.
When allegations against former touring musician Daniel Jorgensen surfaced in 2013, they troubled me deeply, but as a person of faith who believes in compassion and forgiveness, I wanted to believe they were not true. I was raised on the principle that you give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and you stand by your friends. But now that a very serious case has been brought against Daniel, it’s important that you hear from me.
What Daniel is accused of makes me sick. Neither myself nor my organization condones the actions described in the indictment. I treat my fans with the greatest respect and admiration and I expect everyone in my organization to do the same. I can promise you this: I knew nothing about the activity that is alleged to have occurred in 2013, and I was unspeakably horrified to learn of the allegations. Like my fans, I was equally hurt and shocked when the indictment was filed last week. I trust and pray that justice will prevail and if Daniel is innocent he will be acquitted, but that if he is guilty, he is convicted and punished in a way that completely vindicates the interests of anyone who was harmed.
I won’t be commenting further.
Adam
