Dahvie Vanity — born Jesus David Torres — is the founder of electro-death-pop group Blood On The Dance Floor. He is being accused by multiple women of forcing them to perform oral sex on him, most of whom were underage at the time.
MetalSucks has published a huge exposé on the matter that is worth reading. The first story comes from Tye, who was in tenth grade when she first met Dahvie. She tells MetalSucks of a date he convinced her to go on when he was in town, and how at the end of it, he allegedly forced her to perform oral sex on him:
So when Dahvie — born Jesus David Torres — announced that he was coming to her hometown of Houston, Texas, she leapt at the opportunity to hang out with him. “It took a lot of convincing, but my mom let me meet up with him at the galleria mall,” Tye recalls. She was upfront with him about her age long before they ever met in person, but the disparity didn’t seem to bother him; Tye says Dahvie’s pet name for her was “My Little School Girl.” He was twenty-seven. [..] After they were done with their meal, Dahvie led Tye to his car, a black SUV, in the mall’s underground parking lot. She thought he was taking them to another location to continue their de facto date. “But instead he shoved my face on his dick,” Tye alleges. “He was feeling me up and I just didn’t know what to do. I’d never been in this situation. So I just let it happen.”
"Belle" noted she was 14 when she first started talking to Dahvie, and he didn't do anything inappropriate until she turned 18. It was then that he began to make his intentions more clear, and even though Belle did not show any interest in pursuing a sexual relationship, he persisted. Eventually, they hung out and Belle notes he forced himself on and in her.
“He squeezed [my breasts] a lot, didn’t remove his eyes from them, and just said how amazing they were. Then he pulled my top down and started sucking on them. I tried to back up, but I was in a car, so I couldn’t go anywhere. I started to get scared, and I didn’t know what to do. I pushed my arms against him a bit to sort of show him I didn’t want him to continue, but he kept at it. Once he was done, I pulled my shirt back up, and he was pulling down his pants. He grabbed my head, and started to force it down. I kept telling him that I was not comfortable with this, and asked him to stop, all while trying to pull my head up. He was much stronger than me, and was able to get my head down all the way.” Belle froze. “So he grabbed my hair and started bobbing my head up and down on him.
“I didn’t know what to do,” Belle continues. “I didn’t want to fight him out of fear that he would do something much worse, and I didn’t want to participate and give him the idea that I wanted more. I just clenched my fists, and cried.” Then Dahvie used his free hand to cover her nose. “I wasn’t even able to breathe. I thought I was going to pass out, but I couldn’t do anything about it.
“Once he was finished, he let go of my head, and I cleaned myself up. Then he grabbed me, and pulled me close to him, hugging me. He started to tell me that, that’s just how BDSM is, that it’s about love and trust, and things like that.”
Alice was 15 when she met Dahvie outside of one of their shows. While she and a friend were waiting for a ride home, Dahvie invited them to an after party. He kept bringing her into other rooms and once again, allegedly, forced her to perform oral sex on him:
[H]e grabbed the door knob and got super close to me and asked me if I was a ‘good student.’ I, being super oblivious and awkward, said ‘not really’ and that I didn’t apply myself in school.” The two returned to the party, but later, Dahvie tried again, asking her to help him with something in the garage. “Naively, I agreed.” Alice alleges that once they were in the garage, Vanity blocked the door and again asked if she was a “good student.” Alice didn’t respond. “I had finally realized where this was going.”
“He asked me how old I was,” she says. “I told him: fifteen. He made me pinky-swear that I would never tell another soul what he was about to do, because he could ‘get in big trouble.’ Then he forcefully kissed me.
“I was devastated,” she continues. “I had just found out that the rumors about Dahvie, that I had tried so hard to defend his name against, were true.”
Alice alleges that the singer then made her perform oral sex on him. “He was in total control. He wouldn’t let me stand up or even leave the garage until he had come in my mouth. I had tears in my eyes most of the time we were in there. He made me clean the makeup that had run on my face with a scarf that was on the floor of the garage. I couldn’t tell you how long it had been when we got back to the party, but it felt like forever.”
Unfortunately for Alice, her night with Dahvie was not over as he invited her to another room and after 20 minutes of casual talking, assaulted her:
“Dahvie went into the walk-in closet, and came out with a rainbow penis-shaped lollipop. He asked if I wanted one. I said no thank you, but he insisted and went back in to get me one.” The singer then called her into the walk-in closet. “It was basically a repeat of the garage, only this time he wouldn’t let me leave until we had sex, too.” Alice had told Dahvie her family’s water had been turned off; he promised to give her the money to have it turned back on if she had sex with him. “I complied, if you can call it that,” she says. “I stood there in shock while he did his thing, thinking I was helping my family. We were so bad off at home that our showers were basically sponge baths using water bottles that had been warmed over the stove. I wanted to do whatever it took to stop my family of five from living that way.
“He pulled my dress down super forcefully,” she continues says. “He actually broke the zipper on my dress. A lot of my clothes were tattered hand-me-downs, including my bra. It was held together by safety pins, which he actually made fun of me for. He covered my mouth the entire time and was very forceful.” She also alleges that he filmed her performing oral sex on him. “I’m not sure whether or not the footage still exists. I sincerely hope it doesn’t.”
She ended up lying to her friend and mother and said everything was fine at the party, but two days later noticed bruises on her arms and cuts on her lips. She is still troubled by that night and it has affected her relationships, five years later.
These are just three of the stories MetalSucks uncovered about his various sexual assaults throughout the years. There are two other instances that MetalSucks notes of forcible oral sex. Currently, no charges have been filed against Dahvie. You can read the entire story here. The story also has screenshots from Jeffree Starr and New Year’s Day vocalist Ash Costello calling him out for this disgusting behavior.
As of this moment, there are no charges filed against Dahvie. A Facebook group, BOTDF is Garbagecore, has been very active in trying to expose him, and is the source of where MetalSucks spoke to most of these alleged victims.
