Jake Paul responds to sexual assault allegations from former Team 10 member IG: Jake PaulAmerican YouTuber Jake Paul has responded to further allegations of sexual assault, saying that they are \u201cfrom years ago\u201d and are \u201c100% false\u201d. Sexual assault allegations were first made against Jake Paul on April 9, 2021, by Justine Paradise. She alleged that Paul sexually assaulted her after she made it clear she wasn\u2019t interested in engaging in sexual activities with him. \u201cI couldn\u2019t tell him not to, he didn\u2019t ask for consent or anything. Like, he knew I didn\u2019t want to do anything with him because he said \u2018if nothing\u2019s going to happen, what\u2019s the point?\u2019\u201d she said in her YouTube video. Paul responded to the allegations on April 13, denying them vehemently and saying he plans on \u201cpursuing this defamation of character to the full extent of the law.\u201d Attention on the allegations fell somewhat, as a result of Paul\u2019s fight against ex-MMA star Ben Askren, which took place on April 18, and resulted in a comfortable first-round win for the YouTuber. However, more allegations have emerged after the fight, this time from Railey Lollie, a model who began working with Paul when she was 17 years old. As reported by The New York Times, Lolley claims that Paul regularly commented on her appearance and often called her \u201cjailbait\u201d. She alleges that one evening after filming a video in 2017, Paul groped her. Lolley states that she told Paul to stop immediately, and he left the room. Paul was questioned about the allegations by ESPN\u2019s Max Kellerman, to which he said: \u201cAll these allegations, the things that are said about me, are from years ago. They\u2019re 100% false, and my legal team\u2019s following up with these people to make sure they\u2019re held accountable for the things that they\u2019re saying, \u2019cause they\u2019re not true and they\u2019re gonna damage my brand forever.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/defnoodles\/status\/1385827274365177856?s=20 The outcome of the allegations remains to be seen, but Paul has claimed his innocence whenever he has addressed them publicly.
