A woman has filed a civil complaint against comedian Chris D’Elia accusing him of child sexual exploitation and violation of child pornography laws.
The Jane Doe says she was a 17-year-old high school student when she connected with D’Elia on social media in 2014. She claims that he knew that she was underaged.
She also claims that he invited her to one of his shows in Connecticut — which she went to and he allegedly engaged in sexual activities with her before going on stage. She says D’Elia asked her several times to tell him how old she was and she told him she was 17.
Age of consent in that state is 16.
“He constructed a manipulative, controlling, and abusive dynamic,” the complaint states, in which he demanded she provide sexually explicit images of herself over the Internet. When she refused, reads the complaint.
She says he solicited and received more than 100 sexually explicit pictures of her.
