After hearing reports about the arrest of James Raleigh Bryant, the owner of Rock Nobster Records who allegedly engaged with a 15-year-old female in sexual activities, the organizers of Wild Rumpus have decided to remove all sponsorships and all other promotional materials related to Bryant.
Wild Rumpus released a statement announcing that it had removed all materials from its website and social media accounts associated with Bryant. They also decided to support The Cottage, a sexual assault and children’s advocacy center, as one of their 2026 charity recipients.
If recipients bought a T-shirt from last year’s event with Rock Nobster printed on the back, they can exchange it at this year’s Wild Rumpus event or at other events like Pride and AthFest.
