What felony was Kyle Massey charged with in 2021?
Recently, Massey has found himself in legal trouble. According to court documents obtained by People, the state of Washington is charging Massey with a felony for “communicating with a minor for immoral purposes.”
The charges stem from an incident that occurred between December 2018 and January 2019. During that time, Massey allegedly sent sexually explicit photos and video to a 13-year-old girl via Snapchat. The victim has not been identified to the public because of her age. According to Variety, Massey is being sued for at least $1.5 million.
In 2019, Massey had a civil lawsuit filed against him over the same incident. He denied the allegations, and issued a strong statement to TMZ, through his attorney, Lee A. Hutton, III.
“No child should ever be exposed to sexually explicit materials and I unequivocally and categorically deny any alleged misconduct,” the statement read. Massey also urged his fans “not to jump to conclusions based on the allegations alone but reserve judgment until the whole story comes to light, proving these allegations baseless.”
