ANOTHER MALE YOUTUBER HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT.
THIS TIME IT IS A GAMING YOUTUBE HOST BY THE NAME OF TOBY TURNER.
HE IS A PRETTY BIG YOUTUBE CELEBRITY, WHATEVER YOU CALL IT.
THE ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT ARE COMING FROM A
WOMAN WHO SAYS SHE DATED HIM FOR SEVERAL YEARS, APRIL FLETCHER,
WHO IS ALSO KNOWN AS APRIL EFFF ONLINE.
SHE RELEASED A VERY LONG TUMBLR POST ñ
VIDEO BUFFERING ñ
AND MAKE, YOU KNOW, YOUR OWN DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR
NOT YOU BELIEVE HER.
WE CAN'T REDO EVERY PART OF IT, BUT I DID TAKE OUT THE MOST
IMPORTANT PARTS TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF WHAT THE
ALLEGATIONS ARE.
SHE ALSO PROVIDED SOME EVIDENCE TO HER CLAIM, SO WE WILL
GET TO THAT AS WELL.
HER TUMBLR POST SAYS THE FOLLOWING.
THESE ARE THE PARTS OF HER TUMBLR POST THAT I WAS
TALKING ABOUT.
THAT IS OLGA K, ANOTHER BIG YOUTUBER.
SHE IS REFERRING TO ONE TIME WHEN THEY HAD SEX.
SO, THROUGH THE YEARS OF THEM SEEING EACH OTHER,
APPARENTLY IT WAS A VERY TUMULTUOUS RELATIONSHIP.
THEY KEPT GOING BACK AND FORTH.
SHE ADDRESSES WHY SHE WOULD GO BACK TO HIM, AND SHE SAYS
IT IS BECAUSE SHE WAS SO IN LOVE WITH HIM, SHE WAS
CONDITIONED TO GO BACK TO HIM.
THIS IS HER WORDING.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET TO THE ALLEGED DRUGGING.
SHE SAYS THAT SHE WENT TO GO VISIT HIM ONE DAY, SHE HAD
OBLIGATIONS RIGHT AFTER AND SHE WAS TRYING TO LEAVE BUT HE
SAID HEY, BEFORE YOU LEAVE TAKE A SHOT WITH ME.
SO SHE FINALLY AGREED TO TAKE THE SHOT, BUT SHE NOTICED
AFTER TAKING THE SHOT OF FICA THAT IT TASTED VERY STRANGE.
SHE CONFRONTED HIM ABOUT IT, AND HE ALLEGEDLY CONFESSED TO
PUTTING DRUGS IN IT.
SHE SAYS THAT IT WAS MDMA, OR MOLLY.
AND THEN SHE PROVIDED THE
EVIDENCE, AND IT IS THE
SCREENSHOT OF A TEXT CONVERSATION SHE HAD WITH HIM.
HE SAID, "TWAS FUN," AND SHE FOLLOWED THAT UP BY SAYING SHE
IS STILL FUCKED UP BY WHAT HE PUT IN HER DRINK.
LATER HE SAYS HE JUST WANTS HER TO LOVE HIM, AND SHE SAYS
SHE NEEDS TO SLEEP IT OFF SHE'S NOT SURE WHAT'S HAPPENING,
AND HE SAYS HE WANTS TO MAKE HER FEEL SECURE.
I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD READ
INTO THIS, AND THE MORE YOU
READ INTO IT YOU REALIZE THERE IS A BACK AND FORTH AND IT
WAS A TUMULTUOUS RELATIONSHIP.
IT IS HARD TO KNOW WHAT IS REALITY AND WHAT IS NOT
REALITY, BUT THE ONLY THING WE HAVE RIGHT NOW AS EVIDENCE
IS THAT SCREENSHOT.
IF SHE HAS MORE, SHE SHOULD ABSOLUTELY PROVIDE IT.
MORE WOMEN CAME OUT IN PUBLIC AFTER THESE ALLEGATIONS,
BUT WE WILL GET TO THAT LATER.
I READ THE WHOLE POST AND SHE DETAILS HIS PERSONAL ISSUES
AND ADDICTIONS WITH DRUGS, SHE SAYS THAT HE IS A SEX
ADDICT AND A DRUG ADDICT AND ALL THAT.
SHE TALKS ABOUT HOW IT BECAME WORSE WHEN HE BECAME MORE
POPULAR.
HE POSTED A VIDEO THIS MORNING AND I WATCHED A PORTION OF THAT,
I EVENTUALLY STOPPED BECAUSE IT WAS ANNOYING ME TOO MUCH.
HE LOOKS DEVASTATED, WHICH WOULD BE TRUE IF HE HAD DONE IT
OR NOT.
THE COMMENTS WERE JUST INFURIATING, THEY WERE
EXACTLY WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT.
OF COURSE THOSE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE HIM, REGARDLESS OF
WHAT THE EVIDENCE IS, HAVE STARTED TO ATTACK ALL THE
WOMEN WHO HAVE ACCUSED HIM OF THINGS, AND WHO HAVE SPOKEN
UP IN SUPPORT OF THOSE WOMEN.
WHEN YOU START TO SEE HOW MANY OF HIS EXES CAME OUT ñ OLGA K
PUT OUT A STATEMENT SAYING SHE WAS NEVER ABUSED ñ BUT THERE
WERE SEVERAL EXES WHO CAME OUT AND SAID THEY WERE ABUSED
IN VARIOUS FORMS.
AND OTHER YOUTUBERS WHO KNOW HIM SAY THAT I HAVE HEARD STORIES
OR KNOW THAT HE HAS DONE THOSE THINGS THAT HE IS ACCUSED OF.
SO WHAT HE HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF IS NOT NECESSARILY TRUE,
BUT THIS IS LIKE A YOUTUBE VERSION OF THE BILL COSBY THING.
IT IS DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE A CONSPIRACY WERE A NUMBER OF
THESE WOMEN HAVE INDEPENDENTLY COME UP WITH THESE STORIES
OF THINGS HE HAS DONE.
WAS PART OF HER ALLEGATION, IN THE ONE THAT SHE WAS
DRUGGED, THAT THEY HAD SEX?
THAT HE DRUGGED HER AND THEY HAD SEX?
YES.
SO THAT IS RAPE.
SO, AGAIN, WHEN THESE STORIES COME OUT IT IS REALLY HARD
TO COVER IT BECAUSE ANYTHING YOU SAY IS GOING TO BE
CONTROVERSIAL, BUT I CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH HOW INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT IT IS FOR WOMEN TO GO OVER TO THE AUTHORITIES
IMMEDIATELY SO THAT THEY CAN GATHER EVERY AND ALL EVIDENCE.
THAT EVIDENCE IS SO IMPORTANT IN PROSECUTING THOSE PEOPLE
AND GOING AFTER THEM.
SOME MIGHT ARGUE THAT
YOU GO TO THE AUTHORITIES AND THEY WILL DO A RAPE KIT AND
NOT ACTUALLY TEST THE RAPE KIT FOR YEARS.
BUT YOU ARE DEALING WITH A PUBLIC FIGURE, SO YOU SHOULD GO
TO THE AUTHORITIES AND THEN HOLD
THE AUTHORITIES ACCOUNTABLE SO THAT THE INVESTIGATION HAPPENS.
I'M NOT SAYING SHE IS A BAD PERSON, WHEN YOU'RE A
VICTIM OF ANY TYPE OF TRAUMA, PEOPLE REACT IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
I WANT JUSTICE AND TO MAKE SURE THAT IF HE DID ANY OF THIS
STUFF THAT THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE WOMEN WHO ALSO CAME FORWARD.
THIS WAS FROM CLAIRE LOURDES.
ANOTHER PERSON WHO CAME FORWARD WAS AMELIA TAYLON, AND SHE
SAYS SHE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES AS WELL.
I DID NOT SEE EITHER OF THOSE.
I SAW HIS MOST RECENT GIRLFRIEND, AND I BELIEVE
JACLYN KLEIN HAS SAID A FEW THINGS AS WELL.
OBVIOUSLY THE MORE HARD EVIDENCE YOU CAN GET THE EASIER IT
IS TO USE COMING ABOUT IT.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW NECESSARILY THAT SHE WANTS SOMETHING
LEGAL TO BE DONE.
MAYBE SHE WANTED TO AIR IT SO THAT IT BRINGS A CERTAIN, I
GUESS CLOSURE TO THE EXPERIENCE.
BUT THE DIFFICULT THING, LET'S SAY HYPOTHETICALLY AFTER A
COUPLE OF THESE INCIDENTS SHE HAD GONE.
MAYBE WITH THE DRUGS IN HER SYSTEM, THAT IS EVIDENCE OF
SOMETHING, NOT NECESSARILY EVIDENCE THAT HE DRUGGED
HER UNFORTUNATELY.
IF HE IS HAVING SEX WITH HER AND SHE TELLS HIM TO STOP AND
HE DOES NOT STOP, IF SHE GOES AND GETS A RAPE KIT, WHAT
IS THAT GOING TO SHOW?
THAT SHE HAD SEX.
IT IS SO DIFFICULT BECAUSE THESE THINGS HAPPEN IN PRIVACY.
THAT'S WHAT MAKE IT SO COMPLICATED AND WHY A LOT
OF WOMEN DON'T SAY ANYTHING IN THE FIRST PLACE.
I ABSOLUTELY UNDERSTAND THAT, AND THE CHALLENGES THAT ANY MAN
OR WOMAN RAPE VICTIM HAS TO GO
THROUGH OUR DEPRESSING, BECAUSE IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT
TO COME FORWARD AND GO TO THE AUTHORITIES.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IF THERE IS EVER GOING TO BE ANY JUSTICE
IN TERMS OF PROSECUTION, THAT IS THE ONLY WAY IT WILL HAPPEN.
SO COLLECTING AS MUCH EVIDENCE FROM THE BEGINNING, AND
BUILDING A CASE AGAINST HIM IS WAY MORE EFFECTIVE THAN
POSTING SOMETHING ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
