- Both Christopher Seiler and the complainant have been interviewed, he remains at liberty under the presumption of innocence, and no charges have been announced.
- In an Instagram statement, Seiler said he is not a perfect person, pledged to take responsibility for any mistakes, and said he will withdraw until the inquiry concludes.
