Chris D’Elia Accused of Soliciting Nude Pictures From 17-Year-Old
Comedian Chris D’Elia was sued on Tuesday for allegedly soliciting nude photos from a 17-year-old girl.
According to the complaint, filed in federal court in Los Angeles, D’Elia sought and received more than 100 explicit images and videos from the girl over the course of several months.
The suit also says he had urged the girl to come to one of his shows, and then had sex with her. While they were having sex, according to the suit, he asked her age and she revealed that she was still in high school. He responded that that was “hot,” the suit states.
Afterward, the suit alleges that D’Elia continued to pressure her to send explicit photos. The suit also states that D’Elia would emotionally manipulate her, showering her with attention when she complied, but threatening to cut her off if she refused.
The suit accuses D’Elia of violating federal child pornography and child sexual exploitation statutes.
D’Elia was first accused of seeking explicit photos from teenagers last June, after he appeared in the second season of “You” on Netflix. On the show, he portrayed a comedian who sexually abuses teenage girls.
At the time, D’Elia said he “never knowingly pursued any underage women at any point.” But he also apologized for anything he may have done to give offense, saying he had let himself get caught up in his own lifestyle.
Last month, he released a YouTube video acknowledging that “I do have a problem.” He said he was “doing the work” to be a better role model to his son, and had been in recovery.

Isn't he dating a child already? Is he tired of her hairless kitty already?

Not shocked.
Not shocked in the least. I’m just surprised she was as old as she was.

This is unsurprising.
Most straight males have fantasies about having sex with teen girls.
Watch pretty much any bro-type of movie that comes out of Hollywood, and the "hot chick" is always some young, big titted, blonde girl in a cheerleader outfit.
It's the straight male ideal.

If he had moved to the UK where the age of consent is 16, he could have fucked as many 16 and 17 year olds as he'd have wanted, legally.

I thought this came out awhile ago, or was there an earlier accusation?

This happened in Connecticut where the age of consent is 16. She was 17 at the time. Not defending his behavior, but this totally seems like a shake down.

Isn’t 17 legal in some states. Damn it’s not like it was an 8 year old.

And what makes it worse is that people are calling him a pedophile. People are just throwing around "pedo" so carelessly. Yesterday #CancelTaylorSwift trended and people referred to her as a pedo because she dated when she was 20 and he was 17 and she dated one of the Kennedys when she was 22 and he had just turned 18. Lunacy.

*because she dated Taylor Lautner when she was 20 and he was 17.

Regardless of the state age of consent, the federal child porn law legal age is 18, so using the internet to solicit her pics was arguably illegal.

He needs to stay cancelled. He seems like a horrible human being. Also desperate and not funny or clever at all. Just creepy, overrated and obnoxious. His clothing line is fucking retarded too.

The word is ephebophile. But it sounds so much snappier to say "pedo". Especially if you are in the UK and can pronounce it peedo.

I think a 17-year-old girl knows exactly what she's doing. It isn't like you change from being one person the night before your 18th birthday to another the following day. You should be mature enough to know right from wrong at that age. But that doesn't give him an excuse, because he knew what he was doing too.
I don't know why these idiot celebrities like him and Drake Bell think they won't be caught. Do they think they're untouchable just because they've been on some TV shows? If anything I think being famous would make you want to risk it even less. People will obviously care more about a celebrity being exposed than Joe from down the street so you have a lot more to lose.

They're children, Mary. Of course, nothing makes a person magically more mature at 18 than 17 but legally, we have to draw the line somewhere.
Do you think that 17-yr-olds have the same reasoning ability as this man in his 40's? Her brain isn't even fully developed. Can a teen tell right from wrong? Yes, of course. Do many lack the critical thinking skills and life experience to avoid abusive situations before it's too late? Also yes. That's why they're calling him a groomer; his advances became more sexual after he gained their trust or he knew they were starstruck. You're completely ignoring the unequal power dynamic, which is the primary problem with age gaps.
And this isn't a case of a man getting caught up with someone who's a little too young; he did this with multiple girls on different platforms including Tiktok, the app everyone knows is overrun by teens. It's like the James Charles situation. Boys in their late teens should have known better than to DM him. But he's the one who escalated the convos into sexual situations and he's the one with fame, money, and immense power over them.
If you're an adult man fetishistically attracted to adolescent children, you're an ephebophile and you need help. There are no excuses.

Teen girls are easy to be had by older guys. They usually don’t have to have much going for them and just by the fact that they’re older they are desirable to young girls. They are very easy to manipulate as well. That’s why guys who are losers like very young women.

Straight guys like younger girls for several reasons fertility, lower body count, easier to mould and very few of them are jaded.

I'm not well-versed, but isn't there an age-gap maximum? So just because she was 17 and the AOC is 16, that might only apply to someone up to 19 or 20, not 45 or however old this guy is.

Straight like younger girls because their bodies are not yet blown-out saggy grease fires.

Trying to rationalize this creep's behavior is pathetic. Some of you are probably pulling the same kind of shit with young men so of course you can't see why it's wrong.

Yeah. I can imagine a 17-year-old's mind would be all excited that a celebrity chose "ME of all people" and feel special because of it. Then he'd throw her away like trash because she was nothing but an easy lay to him. It would be hard for the mind of a child to process and come to terms with it.
