The controversy surrounding the sexual assault claim leveled against the company DoorDash has taken a dramatic turn, after the man at the forefront of the viral outrage was arrested on charges of a felony offense.
According to the authorities, the woman’s story did not align with the evidence, while what began as a call for justice has escalated to a criminal case. Internet users are still grappling to understand the twist in the story.
The controversy began when a TikTok user named ‘irlmonsterhighdoll’ posted a clip on the platform TikTok on October 12, stating that she was the victim of sexual assault while she was delivering food. She then claimed that her account was deactivated by DoorDash, the company, without any reason, as if the company was penalizing her, within just two days.
She also reported the incident to the police but felt that her complaint was not being taken seriously. The emotional clip went viral in no time as people rallied around her in support, calling for accountability from the company, DoorDash. While the clip went viral, so did calls for an investigation into the incident to confirm whether it was real.
According to the police account, the suspect, a 23-year-old woman named Livie Rose Henderson, visited a customer’s address on October 12 to deliver food in a contactless drop-off manner. However, she proceeded to open the closed entrance door and went inside.
She found the customer asleep on the couch, wearing his trousers down. She recorded the incident but later posted the blurred footage of the act on TikTok, claiming she was sexually assaulted.
However, footage from the Ring camera revealed that the customer did not invite her inside. The detectives later determined that he was not intentionally exposing himself, nor was there any evidence of sexual assault.
On November 10, she was arrested for charges related to two class E felonies, unlawful surveillance, as well as the dissemination of unlawful surveillance images.
Each of the charges has a potential penalty of up to four years in prison. The police say she illegally entered the dwelling where she recorded a private individual in a vulnerable state. The company has confirmed that the woman’s account was deactivated for breaking safety protocols. The company also banned the customer, as the police indicated the client would not be charged.
