Ray Diaz has been arrested on charges of sexual assault after videos surfaced of him abusing an underage girl.
The 33-year-old actor and social media star, who has over 3 million followers on Instagram, had reportedly been dating 17-year-old Angelica Salek for the past year.
Earlier in the month, a clip appeared on Angelica‘s Instagram account that appeared to be Ray screaming and hitting her, which has since been deleted.
“I was just so scared always because he would yell at me always…It was my fault if somebody would ever have any suspicions that him and I were dating. He would yell at me for hours,” Angelica said in an interview with DramaAlert, where she detailed other instances of abuse.
While Ray retorted that the clip was an acting exercise, Angelica proceeded to file a restraining order against him.
On Thursday (July 11), DramaAlert shared additional video of Ray verbally abusing and threatening Angelica, which led to an investigation with the LAPD.
Ray was arrested on Friday night (July 12) in San Diego, Calif. with bail set at $500,000.
The LAPD is aware of several social media posts related to a social media personality, alleging physical abuse and sexual relations with a minor. We take these allegations seriously. Currently, the Department has directed a group of investigators to look into these allegations.
