  "account": "Mauricio Tapia, known professionally as Los Retros, has been formally charged with four felony counts related to allegedly engaging in unlawful acts with a child under the age of ten. According to local news sources, the 26-year-old musician was taken into custody on October 8 and posted bail in Ventura County jail two days later, with his bond set at $3 million. Tapia is due to appear in court again on October 22, where the details of the charges will be formally presented to the court.\n\nStones Throw, Tapia's record label, has issued a statement distancing themselves from the accused artist. In the statement, they express that they had previously announced the cancellation of his performance at their upcoming festival, which took place before they learned of the allegations. In response to the serious and disturbing accusations, Stones Throw has decided to sever their professional ties with Tapia. The label emphasizes their commitment to addressing the allegations thoroughly as new information surfaces.",
