Chris D'Elia accused of possessing child pornography amid his sexual exploitation row

Renowned American comedian Chris D'Elia has been accused of possessing articles of child pornography. The articles that Chris is accused of possessing are essentially pictures of an underaged woman, with who he even reportedly had intimate relations back in 2014. The complaint is filed by an unnamed woman who is going by the name of Jane Doe. She has alleged that six years ago, Chris D'Elia, under the subtext of simply asking her to attend one of his comedy shows, ended up having sex with her at a time when she was only seventeen years old.

Prior to their first alleged sexual encounter, D'Elia asked for several nude pictures of Jane Doe, who believes are still under the possession of the comedian. The official complaint charts all the events that took place between 2014 to 2017, the year in which Jane Doe allegedly blocked the comedian on every platform.
