Singaporean YouTube personality Dee Kosh is facing a police investigation after being accused on social media of sexually harassing at least five teenage males aged 15 to 19.
While he initially denied all of the allegations, which emerged late last week, the 32-year-old released a statement on Instagram and Facebook earlier this week admitting some of the claims involving a 15-year-old boy were true.
“There are some screenshots circulating of me texting with a 15-year-old that I now accept is problematic. My tone was questionable, but there was absolutely no intent to groom him,” he posted.
“Let me state categorically that I did not ever have any sexual relations with him or any minor … In hindsight, I see what was wrong, and I take full responsibility for my actions, and I am sorry,” he posted.
However, Dee Kosh, whose real name is Darryl Ian Koshy, continued to deny the other allegations of sexual harassment and soliciting sex online. The Post has asked Dee Kosh to comment on the allegations, but has yet to receive a response.
