Diplo is responding to a report that he may face criminal charges over claims he raped a woman and knowingly gave her a sexually transmitted infection.
The 42-year-old DJ had been accused by a woman of recording sexually explicit videos of her without her permission, distributing at least one without her consent and knowingly infecting her with chlamydia, according to the report from Buzzfeed News.
Now, Diplo is facing criminal charges for the allegations.
“We are reviewing the referral and have no further comment at this time,” a spokesperson for the LA city attorney, Rob Wilcox, shared with Page Six.
The woman is also claiming that Diplo had raped her in his Las Vegas hotel room after one of his concerts, but no criminal charges have been filed over the alleged incident.
Diplo’s lawyer denied the claims.
“Yet more lies from the same disturbed individual who has been stalking and menacing Wes, his family and his friends for years,” Bryan Freedman said. “As is well known, this person tried to extort Wes for millions of dollars and, after he refused to pay her a penny, launched an unceasing campaign of harassment against my client. She has been peddling her lies around the country in a desperate attempt to harm Wes and those he loves, but she will not succeed.”
Diplo even made his own statement about the allegations on his Instagram.
