For anyone only following the headlines in the happenings, there are a lot of updates regarding Daman Mills. It's turned into true crime for weeaboos.
Daman was the anime voice actor accused of molesting a teenage boy, who then retracted his allegations about a week later. A couple hours prior to Anime News Network publishing his retraction and updating their story, he was doxed on Kiwi Farms, which turned out to be a gay op by someone connected to Daman. The throwaway account claimed they had found the accuser's full name by searching facebook, but they made a critical error when posting their screen shots. They didn't realize that the post with the accuser's name on it was restricted to friends only. It was never visible to the public. The person that doxed the accuser already knew who he was and made up a bullshit story about how they uncovered his identity.
Around the same time, an anonymous user on the Anime News Network forum was blasting the author of the molestation article for what they said was shoddy journalism. They claimed to have seen the cease and desist that was sent out and alleged that the site wasn't reporting on the facts properly. This person turned out to be an anime voice actor and ADR director, who proceeded to threaten the journalist that if they didn't take down their article, they would be reporting on Daman's suicide.
The communications between Daman, the accuser, and Daman's legal team were being shared within the anime industry so that's why no one was speaking out about this alleged sexual assault. It wasn't a surprise or a shock as they had known about it and were prepared. Funimation/Sony, were informed of this accusation in November, months before the article came out.
Going back to when the retraction was published, the accuser suddenly shows up on Twitter the next day wanting to tell their story in their own words. He denies that he had been threatened into retracting his story and his one wish was for the article to be taken down. Despite this, the accuser's account liked a #KickDaman tweet and some others, which were deleted after they were spotted. A few days after that, the accuser is back on Anime News Network in a piece claiming his accusations were fabricated. He said he wanted Daman to feel sorry for him for abandoning him. Their friendship apparently ended after the accuser got into a relationship with a girl.
So the official line is that the accusation was fake, but Daman's love for underage boys remains (in the screen shots of him creeping on kids).
