An investigation was opened after a rape complaint was filed on Sunday July 2 by a woman against TheKairi78, a popular youtuber and streamer on social networks, Le Monde learned from the Paris prosecutor’s office, which confirms information from the Parisian.

The complainant accuses the influencer of having drugged and then raped her at her home, on the night of Saturday 2 to Sunday 3 July, after having accompanied her home after a party in Paris.

The content creator, who spoke on his Twitter account on Monday and defended himself at length in a live Twitch, “strongly rejects these allegations”. With the Parisian, he admits having had sex with her but believes that it was consented. He also denies having drugged his accuser.

The 35-year-old YouTuber, who has more than 3.8 million subscribers on his channel, made a name for himself on the Google platform by tasting sandwiches and hamburgers.
