The Rape of Jani Lane: Unsolved

In the entertainment industry, we always hear stories of women being taken advantage of by big names with the promise of success and stardom. But we rarely see male victims come forward.

When I heard this story a while back, I was shocked and disturbed at the fact that nobody ever talks about it, considering it seems that everyone in the 80s was rocking out to Cherry Pie by Warrant. I was lucky enough to have caught wind of it and I want to share it with the world.

Rape against men is a topic that has been swept under the rug for far too long, and it's time we bring it to light.

Bobbie Brown was married to Jani Lane of Warrant from 1991-1993. She co-wrote an autobiography in 2013 titled 'Dirty Rocker Boys' and wrote another autobiography titled 'Cherry on Top' in 2019.

In both books, she touched on the time Jani had told her about his experience being raped when he was just starting out in the music scene. According to Brown, Jani had been taken advantage of by a member of a famous band and his accomplice.

"He was nineteen when it happened. It was after a show. An older man, a major rockstar, had invited Jani to hang out with him and the big guys...

Later that night, along with an accomplice, that major rockstar put Jani through an ordeal he had been too ashamed to talk about until this moment. It was violent. It was ugly. It was exploitative." (Brown, Bobby, Dirty Rocker Boys)

This confession occurred just a few years before Lane passed away from alcohol poisoning. In her writing, Brown suggests that his alcohol problems had mostly stemmed from this traumatic assault.

She expanded on details in her second book, 'Cherry on Top', mentioning that the man was part of a famous heavy metal band, and the accomplice was the artist's manager.

The story of Jani being raped was proven true when a 2004 interview with Jani on the Hollywood's Monsters of Rock radio show on 92.1 The Wolf, where Lane said, "I've been divorced, married, raped- I don't care."

In Jani's biography tab for his personal website, he wrote that he had moved to Hollywood in Spring of 1985, which would make him 21 at the time of his rape, not 19 like Bobbie's book says. Perhaps this was a miscalculation on Brown or Lane's behalf.

People have always had their own suspicions on who could have been Jani's assailant, but the two bands I've seen mentioned the most are Kiss and Judas Priest. Both bands were in the area at the time, and both have had very sketchy managers during their run as bands.

In an interview with Earl Skakel, Bobbie mentioned her dislike of Judas Priest, saying she has a "specific disinterest". She also mentioned that she had a reason on why, and she said she would tell Earl later when the interview ended.

Unfortunately, that's really all the facts that I have for this case. I haven't seen any deep dives on this, but I would love to come back and look further into it when more information is found. I'm hoping that the readers who stumbled upon this post investigate further if they are interested.

Jani Lane deserves justice and I urge anyone who has information that could help lead us to solving this and get justice to reach out to me at my email with any tips or information you may have. I will not reveal any personal details unless permitted.

Thank you.
