Is The Social Media Influencer David Grr Arrested and Guilty?
NZ Herald reported that a well-known social media influencer had been found guilty of preying on two teenage boys while unconscious or asleep. He allegedly committed sexual acts on them.
Although the media outlet said his name will be suppressed until sentencing, many people speculate that it is David Grr. He has been convicted of five charges of sexual violation by illicit sexual connection.
Jurors, on the other hand, found him not guilty of one crime of sexual violation, three charges of blackmail, and two counts of aggravated injuring by stupefaction.
It took five hours for the 11-member panel to reach the split decision that came after three weeks of testimony in Auckland’s High Court. However, the judge Rebecca Edwards remanded him in custody to wait for sentencing next month.
What Did David Grr Do?
David Grr allegedly performed sexual acts on two boys without their consent. The first accuser told police and subsequent jurors that he first met the defendant in 2015, when he was 16 years old and trying to break into the same industry as the influencer in his late 20s.
They became friends, and their social media communications revealed that they sometimes flirted. However, the teenager said that he made it obvious to David that he was not gay and that all he wanted was friendship.
He accuses David spiked his drink in two instances and even blackmailing him by threatening to ruin his name or disclose images if he did not relent to engaging in sexual behavior. On the other hand, David denies all the allegations and says that all sexual acts between the two were voluntary.
The second complainant claimed he was 18 years old when he awoke in David’s bed after nights of heavy drinking only to discover the man performing an s*x act on him on two separate occasions.
He admitted to flirty behavior with the defendant, like the other complainant, but stated he was not gay and never consented to any sexual activity.
