From what i've seen, a lot of people were heavily bullied into silence, Dahvie threatening them with lawsuits, libel, stuff like that. Apparently dude also threw people off tour for calling his shit. I mean remember the "we're giving you the middle finger because we hate your guts" video by Dahvie that was (supposedly) about Ash Costello? She walked on them because she felt uncomfortable being around the creepy pedo fuckface.
Big news I've seen people talking about was Ash Costello possibly being threatened with a lawsuit by Dahvie himself when she went to go public about his abuse of her, though this was back in 2013, I wasn't keeping tabs on the band. I found this post:

An article going into those words a little bit (ctrl+f botdfmusic to find the start of the piece on them easily):

What 13-15 y/o me saw in this band and ew, black veil brides and brokencyde, I'll never know. At least Jayy seems to be doing better for himself now he's free of Dahvie's bs.
