‘[S]Pam from Twomad: After I blocked him for texting me, he then created 6 more phone numbers to spam me, plus an Instagram account and a Twitter account. If you want proof that I have it all, just ask. You can see him actively texting at the end of this clip,” she wrote.
Sedik denied the allegationsin which he writes that he has “never sexually assaulted anyone in his life, but I’m not going to stop that deranged idiot from lying to that YouTuber.”

Jameskii continued his accusations, claiming that Sedik “wanted to take multiple innocent lives by getting behind the wheel and driving head-on on the highway while high on illegal drugs. He couldn’t do it once because he overdosed before he killed anyone, so he tried again.”
He added that despite Sedik’s alleged attempts to kill him, Jameskii “tried to assist law enforcement by making sure he was safe, not injured and not harming anyone.”
‘Please remember he is a rapist and a paedophile, he continued to exploit the vulnerable even after the police became involved, including a 13-year-old in a psychiatric facility. The tragedy is no excuse for his actions,’ he added.
