Comedian Jeff Ross Denies Allegations He Participated in Sexual Relationship With Underage Girl

Jeff Ross is speaking out about allegations that he had a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl when he was 33.

“I have never engaged in any sexual relationship with a minor,” the now 54-year-old comedian wrote on Twitter this week.

The woman posted her story on Facebook, which stated the two began their relationship in 1999, when she was still a minor. Her allegations included rape and child pornography, with claims of Jeff taking explicit photos of her with a Polaroid camera.

The story was originally shared in the woman’s 2006 college essay, and was supported by a handful of photographs of her with Jeff and others.

“The story is old news,” he went on. “It has been investigated numerous times and thoroughly reviewed and never published. The witnesses and evidence do not support these despicable allegations.”

Many others have been accused of sexual assaults lately, including Cole Sprouse, Ansel Elgort and Justin Bieber.
