Overview
- Jed Daniel Gordon, 44, admitted in Byron Bay Local Court to having sexual intercourse with a 15-year-old, an offence dated between November 2002 and July 2003.
- Parkway Drive said it condemned the conduct, supported the victim, and immediately terminated Gordon’s contract, noting he is no longer involved with the band.
- Gordon previously worked across touring, lighting and merchandise and more recently on the band’s Australian online merch team, according to the band’s statement.
- Multiple outlets report Gordon is the brother of drummer Ben Gordon, and reporting states no Parkway Drive members are accused of wrongdoing or alleged to have known of the offence.
- Court records detail a 2025 arrest, a March 16 guilty plea, Gordon’s release on bail, and a May 19 sentencing at which a victim impact statement is expected, as campaigners highlight long-standing concerns about predatory behavior in the hardcore scene.
