Urban 'Horrified' By Alleged Rape

Keith Urban says he’s ‘horrified’ by reports of a possible sexual assault at his concert last weekend south of Boston.

Eighteen-year-old Sean Murphy of Boston has pleaded not guilty to a rape charge filed after concertgoers told police they saw a possible assault on the lawn at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield. Bystanders captured the scene on cellphone cameras.

Murphy says the incident was consensual. The alleged victim told a bystander who intervened that she hadn’t consented.

Urban made the statement in a Thursday Facebook posting, adding: “our hearts and prayers go out to all those affected. This type of behavior stands in stark contrast to the spirit of our shows.”
