As reported by Roadie Crew and Summa Inferno, David Ellefson is being accused through different social networks for pedophilia, having sexual and romantic interaction with minors.
Now Ellefson has released a statement with a detailed explanation.
Here’s the statement:
“Dear fans and friends,
As you may or may not know, some private and personal conversations and interactions have emerged online, disseminated with bad intentions by a third party who was not authorized to have or share them. While it is certainly embarrassing, I want to approach it as openly and honestly as possible.
As much as it is not something I am proud of, these private and adult interactions were taken out of context and manipulated to inflict the maximum damage to my reputation, my career and my family ”.
The other party involved made a statement that you can see below. I thank you for doing this and I hope this clarifies that the situation was not as presented.
Humbly yours.
On Instagram, a user @woahworst posted posts claiming that Ellefson had been harassing a friend of hers since she was just 17, through video calls.
In addition to this accusation, the user also claims that he would have “heard” that Ellefson usually sends unsolicited photos of his genitalia and also flirts with the fans.
The account claims to have videos that prove his claims, including one where Ellefson would appear mast*rbating. The same account claims that David sends photos of his member to fans without prior request.
