The incident allegedly took place in 2013
Twitter user @chelseaelaynne has accused The Gaslamp Killer of allegedly drugging and raping her, along with her friend RaeAn, in 2013. In a statement posted to her Twitter, she said, “I’ve been suppressing my rape for 4 years and i’m finally ready to come forward to help myself heal and to prevent it from happening to other women in the future.” The post details the alleged rape, beginning from how the artist handed the two their “first drink of the day”, to their “flu like symptoms” afterwards from the drugs. The incident allegedly took place at LA’s Standard Hotel.
Chelsea followed up with another tweet stating, “today i noticed he has had me blocked, which pushed me over the edge and was the clearest admission of his guilt”. She also posted a screenshot of a private message from the producer, which reads, “Can we please talk right now? Your friend is accusing me of rape and I need you to back me up here.”
A statement is yet to emerge from the artist. Read a series of tweets from @chelseaelaynne below.
