A 17-year-old teenager (names withheld) has accused a Nigerian comedian, Justin UG, real name, Chukwudi Justin Ugonna of allegedly taking advantage of her while she was just 14 years old.
According to the teenager, the comedian lied to her that he was just 16 going to 17 when she was approached by Justin for an affair.
She said after much pressure from him, she caved in and they began dating,
She narrated how she met with the comedian at a house party where they had a**l sex.
The teenager said after many more meetings with the comedian, where they had more sex, Justin blocked her on all social media platforms and refused to pick her calls when he moved back to the US.
She said she later got the news that the comedian just celebrated his 23rd birthday, meaning that he would have been 20 when he allegedly had sex with her.
Trending as ‘At 14’, her post has packed more than two million tweets on Twitter.
The social media users said that at that age, it was wrong for her to think about sex instead of education and other things associated with children her age.
Others said that it was not her age that matters but the fact that Justin UG hid his age from in order to take advantage of her naiveté.
The comedian responded and said that it was a consensual affair. He called the accusation ‘criminal’.
“Hello everyone, in light of recent accusations it is very important for me to assure you of who I am and what I have always stood for. I am not attempting to trivialize the stories of women and men who have suffered experiences of rape and statutory rape, but because this is a criminal accusation against me it is very important for me to clarify that these accusations are not true and I have never been involved in any situation concerning grooming or sexual relations with an underage girl…,” he said.
Nollywood actor, Bolanle Ninalowo said if anybody took advantage of her daughter like at 14, he would send the person to prison.
