D4vd Faces Child Pornography Charges as Murder Trial Continues
Prosecutors say they found a "significant amount" of child pornography on singer D4vd's phone and iCloud account. The new allegations came during a court hearing Thursday for his murder trial in the death of Celeste Rivas.
Singer D4vd is facing new child pornography allegations as his murder trial continues in Los Angeles. Prosecutors revealed Thursday that they found a "significant amount" of child sex abuse images on his iPhone and iCloud storage account.
The timing was notable - the court hearing happened exactly one year after prosecutors say D4vd murdered Celeste Rivas Hernandez. D4vd was in court for a status hearing on his upcoming murder trial when prosecutors made the new allegations public.
Multiple sources confirm that investigators discovered what they describe as "tons" of illegal images on D4vd's devices. The singer had been gaining popularity in the music industry before his arrest for murder.
The child pornography allegations are separate from the murder charges but could result in additional federal prosecution. Details about how investigators found the images or when they were discovered are still emerging.
This adds serious new charges to an already high-profile murder case. D4vd was a rising music star, and these allegations could lead to additional federal charges on top of the murder case he's already facing.
The murder trial will continue, and federal prosecutors may file separate child pornography charges.
