Benji Krol and his former boyfriend Jorge Gardi, aka JeyJey, were accused of grooming a minor in August 2020. The victim accused the gay couple of using their fame to manipulate and coerce him into doing sexual things for their pleasure.

"Benji and JeyJey were one of the first gay couples I’d seen receive so much support," the post goes. "I looked up to them and took inspiration from their TikTok videos. However, their social media fame blinded me and I didn’t realize how they took advantage of me until talk about my experience with close friends in July and August 2020."

The alleged victim further shared screenshots of his FaceTime log and their explicit text through the anonymous Twitter account. The victim also revealed that Gardi sent him the pictures of Benji mast*rbating. What's more, Krol also then added the alleged minor on Snapchat and sent him nude photos as well as snaps of his "d*ck".

Benji clearly stated that some of this sexting accusation was true and also revealed that he is also the victim of Jorge's manipulation. Meanwhile, Gardi also took full responsibility for his action and even apologized to the victim and Benji. A lot of the posts that are related to the accusations are now deleted, however.

He then claimed that the victim also lied to him about his age saying he was 16 years old at the time of the incident.
