Diplo may face criminal charges | Diplo shares his side of the story

October 6, 2021

DJ Diplo could face charges after a woman claims he gave her chlamydia and recorded her while they had sex without her permission - then shared clips with his pals.

Diplo's ex Shelly Auguste made the criminal complaint to the Los Angeles Police Department in October 2020, with a spokesman for the Los Angeles City Attorney's Department telling Buzzfeed Tuesday that they're now considering criminal charges.

'We are reviewing the referral and have no further comment at this time,' said Rob Wilcox, a spokesperson for the LA city attorney, said of the allegations.

Diplo was sued by Auguste for sexual battery, defamation and fraud in October 2020, and has repeatedly denied the allegations that August has made against him.

That civil filing accuses Diplo of sexual battery, assault, defamation and fraud.
In the suit, Auguste claims the 42-year-old performer first contacted her on Twitter when she was just 17 and 'solicited nude photos of her.' They went on to exchange 'explicit' images 'before meeting in person for the first time in 2018, when she was 21.'
After she moved to Los Angeles 'Diplo really began pressuring her for sex by sending unsolicited graphic photos of himself in sexual situations.'
Auguste confronted Diplo about the rumors he had herpes, he 'cut off all communication' with her.
They reconciled, a year later, in 2019, she claims 'she gave in to the pressure and lost her virginity to Diplo.'
She also alleges he 'recorded video of their sexual encounter despite her telling him she didn't want that' and tried to 'coax her into a threesome with a girl she believes was underaged at the time.'
After Auguste declined the threesome, she says he 'forced himself on her as she tried to fight him off.'
She 'was diagnosed with chlamydia' and 'believes she got it from Diplo because she says he was her only sexual partner at the time.'
