Canal, now 27, recently claimed she was groomed by a "very powerful" man — whom she did not name — when she was 19 years old

Musician Michael Franti has denied allegations of sexual abuse and grooming made by 27-year-old singer-songwriter Victoria Canal. In a statement issued Sunday, Franti admitted to infidelity in his marriage but insisted that his relationship with Canal was consensual.

Neither he, nor Victoria Canal have named names in their Instagram posts, but Franti is already facing fallout from the allegations.
