Mitski posted this statement on her twitter account this morning, August 13, 2019, at 8:01 am. It reads as follows:

“The allegations made on tumblr of child sex trafficking and abuse against me are completely false in every respect. I don’t know the accuser, and I don’t know how or why they have come to associate me with their trauma. I have not ever been part of sex trafficking or abuse in any form. I initally did not acknowledge the allegations because I feared bringing harm to a person who may be struggling with their mental health, either by drawing further attention to them, or by involving myself and therby giving reality to their claims. I hope those of you on the internet treat them with kindness and compassion, and I truly hope they find the help they need. But it became clear that I need to address this after learning from a child sex trafficking survivor that, because of these false and conflicting accounts, incredibly harmful misinformation about the reality of child sex trafficking is being propagted, and existing survivors are being triggered and re-traumatized by the continued and confusing discourse, which I am hoping to bring to an end by responding here. I am also motivated to make this statement because my family has somehow been falsely accused of being involved alongaide me, and for their sake I need to make absolutely clear these accusations are false; they do not deserve any of this. Again, the allegations are not true, there is clear and overwhelming evidence that they are unfounded, that is easily corroborated many times over. This pains me to say because we should continue to practice believing victims, and I hope that survivors out there are not discouraged to come forward with their own experiences because of this instance. Thank you, Mitski”
