Last year, EDM artist Diplo—a.k.a. Thomas Wesley Pentz—was accused of spreading revenge porn of a woman who he had filmed without her consent and of hiring a private investigator to allegedly follow her around and threaten her so she wouldn’t share the “disgusting details” (as she put it) that she knew about him. The woman, who has chosen not to be identified, went public with her accusations on Twitter as part of an attempt to get a restraining order against the musician, and now a new BuzzFeed report says the LAPD has been looking into the allegations and that the Los Angeles city attorney’s office is “considering criminal charges” against Pentz.
