SINGAPORE — The police are investigating YouTuber and radio deejay Dee Kosh after several reports alleging sexual harassment of teenage boys were filed against him.

The reports were made after the allegations surfaced on social media over the weekend, with accusers claiming that Dee Kosh had asked them for nude pictures and sexual favours.

Dee Kosh, 32, whose real name is Darryl Ian Koshy, took to Instagram on Saturday (Aug 15) to deny all allegations, adding that he will be taking “necessary steps to clear this all up”.

TODAY understands that as of Monday, at least four police reports had been filed against him. Three of the reports detail incidents alleged to have occurred two years ago, involving two boys who were 17 years old and one who was 15 years old at the time. The other report was over an incident that allegedly occurred a fortnight ago, involving a 17-year-old.

In response to media queries, a police spokesperson confirmed that the reports had been made and that investigations are ongoing. TODAY sought comment from Dee Kosh on the police reports but did not receive a response.

Radio station Power 98, where Dee Kosh works as a part-time DJ, has released a statement, saying that he is on leave pending the investigation, and that the station “does not tolerate any form of harassment”.

The allegations of sexual harassment and improper conduct involving Dee Kosh had surfaced on Saturday on Twitter and Instagram. The alleged victims, some of whom posted screenshots of conversations with him, claimed that they had chatted with him via popular messaging app Telegram and in direct messages via Instagram.

One of the alleged victims has also put up a cease-and-desist letter on Instagram that was sent to him by DC Law LLC, demanding that he take down his posts containing allegations against Dee Kosh.

The alleged victim complied with the letter but left the legal letter on Instagram.

On Monday, Mr Fong Wei Li, a lawyer at DC Law, told TODAY that he was no longer representing Dee Kosh, though he declined to elaborate. He also declined to comment when asked if he knew who is now acting for the DJ.

Dee Kosh rose to fame after starting his YouTube channel in 2011. It now has more than 380,000 subscribers. In addition to his recent work at Power 98, he also co-hosted a night-time show on 987FM with Divian Nair in 2013.
