Is Shane Dawson being investigated by police? Rumors surface about YouTuber YouTube: Shane DawsonA rumor that the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department is conducting a criminal investigation into Shane Dawson over allegations of pedophilia has seemingly been shut down by YouTube sleuths. The YouTube community is swimming with discussion over whether the LASD has an open investigation into YouTuber Shane Dawson who recently lost more than 20 million subscribers following allegations of racism, manipulation, and even pedophilia. On July 7, commentary YouTuber Sanders Kennedy posted a video claiming that he had spoken to the police department in Los Angeles who allegedly confirmed this. Kennedy also tweeted that \u201cThis is \u2018Suspicious Circumstance Investigation\u2019 meaning since no victims have come forward yet. That\u2019s why they are asking for victims to come forward!\u201d https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=F3-HDxqiNcQ Many fans responded with disbelief to Kennedy\u2019s claims, with one commenting: \u201cI\u2019ve had to unsubscribe Sanders, sorry. This video doesn\u2019t sit right with me. Personally, it feels like you\u2019re doing this for your own gain, to be the first drama channel to have \u2018exclusive tea\u2019. This isn\u2019t \u2018tea\u2019.\u201d But another commentary YouTuber, Def Noodles, wrote a Twitter thread that appears to disprove the hearsay. He wrote: \u201cShane Dawson is not being investigated by the Los Angeles Sheriff\u2019s Department, said Officer David Payne of the LASD. I spoke to 2 officers at LASD, including Officer Payne. The LASD does not have an official statement on the matter as there is no open investigation. https:\/\/twitter.com\/defnoodles\/status\/1280647962742251520?s=20 \u201cThe LASD received a 3rd Party complaint last week regarding Shane Dawson. No one has come forward with information since the complaint was made. LASD is suggesting anyone who may want to come forward to contact Officer David Payne at 323-526-5154.\u201d He then clarified that a 3rd party complaint meant that \u201cwithout victims or anyone stepping forward with allegations there is nothing to investigate.\u201d YouTuber Repzilla also claimed to have called the police department on Twitter and said he had also spoken to another police station to verify. Repzilla concluded that there is no investigation into Shane or anyone under a related alias.
