Quirin‘s attorney Randolph Ortega issued a response to the accusation: “Mr. Quirin did not begin visiting Ms. Longoria in San Antonio. During this time Society 1 was touring heavily in various locations throughout the United States. When the band was in or near the San Antonio area, Ms. Longoria would come to the show as a guest.” No criminal charges were filed agaisnt Quirin in 2017.
The article further states that a woman identified as "Brooke" from Portland, Oregon also alleges that Quirin initiated a sexual relationship with her when she was underage.
