A disturbing detail has emerged in the wake of the underage sex scandal that has rocked Australian hardcore band Parkway Drive.
Jed 'Chode' Gordon, brother of the band's drummer Ben Gordon, pleaded guilty earlier this month to having sexual intercourse with a person between 14 and 16 years old.
Gordon, who also served as the band's merchandise manager, is reported to have texted the girl in 2002 when he was 21 years old, and she was 15.
In the wake of the shock scandal, a business card belonging to Gordon has re-emerged.
An X user shared a photo from the band's 2013 book Ten Years of Parkway Drive, chronicling the metalcore band's first decade.
The photo in question was a 'business card' belonging to Gordon which outlined his role as 'Tour Manager / Merch Dude'.

The card also contained a sentence that suggested Gordon was using it as a means to meet women at Parkway Drive shows during a time when they regularly played all-ages gigs.
'Hi. My Name is Jed,' the card read. 'We should hang out later. Your [sic] cute.'
Gordon admitted his sexual contact with the child went on through 2003 when his brother, Ben, started Parkway Drive with his friends in Byron Bay.
It stopped around the time the girl turned 16 and when Gordon was 22.
In 2021, the woman attempted to reconnect with Gordon before going to police in 2023.
He was arrested in July 2025 and pleaded guilty on March 16 to the single count of sexual intercourse with an underage person.
He was released on bail and will face sentencing on May 19.
Police were told Gordon had texted the 15-year-old girl in 2002 when he was 21 years old and met her in a park, where they had sex.

'But we did not know the extent of his behaviour. We did not know. We've been completely blindsided by this.'
