On 19 December 2012, Watkins was charged with thirteen sexual offences against children, including the attempted rape of a one-year-old female toddler. Watkins originally denied the charges. The other band members posted a message on their website stating that they were “learning about the details of the investigation along with you” and concluding: “It is a difficult time for us and our families, and we want to thank our fans for their support as we seek answers.” They subsequently cancelled all tour dates.
