Drummer Magazine reports McNeal has a history of molestation. Two weeks following his thanksgiving encounter, McNeal attempted to molest a 6-year-old child while volunteering at a Los Angeles school.
The rocker was charged with a misdemeanour and was sentenced to three years probation following that incident.
McNeal, whose recording credits include Norah Jones’s 2009 album The Fall, hasn’t played with Cake since 2004.
A request for comment from the band was not immediately returned.
