Trapt's Twitter feed has been suspended after a reported rant that seemed to defend underage student-teacher relationships and statutory rape. The incident allegedly started when someone shared a screenshot of one of the band’s old Twitter replies that defended underage student-teacher relationships. Trapt's response was, “Oh I would be giving the kid high fives! Only if the teacher was hot though,” which has since been suspended.
Late Monday (Dec. 7th) night, another tweet was reportedly posted which read, “I don’t call a 24-year-old woman who takes advantage of a 15-year-old-boy who is entirely through puberty a pedophile.” The tweet also linked to Van Halen’s “Hot for Teacher,” calling it a “great coming of age song.”
Trapt's Facebook was suspended for “violating community standards” following a pro-Proud Boys post just last month.
