The long-overdue outpouring of sexual harassment and assault allegations show no sign of slowing down. Ever since The New York Times published their explosive exposé chronicling Harvey Weinstein's history of sexual misconduct, more and more claims have been lobbied against other influential men in the entertainment industry and beyond, including Kevin Spacey, Brett Ratner, Louis CK and Terry Richardson.
Now, such allegations have hit closer to home after a young fan accused YouTube star Chris Ingham - from The Inghams family - of sending her inappropriate messages during a trip to Disney World last year.

On July 2nd, a former fan of the Inghams accused 33-year-old Chris Ingham of sending her inappropriate messages.
According to the individual, what started out as a typical interaction between a YouTuber and fan turned into something that left her feeling "scared". The 16-year-old claims that after having posed for a picture with Ingham, he started messaging her about the mental health struggles that she had confessed to him earlier.
In a series of notes posted to Twitter, she then asserts that Ingham encouraged her to sneak out of her parents' room and meet him alone for late night walks while they were both staying at a Disney World resort.
"I just want to start this off by saying at first I didn't want to tweet this, I hadn't told anyone and it happened 9 months ago. I've only decided to tweet this after speaking to someone who has helped me. And we didn't jump straight to the conclusion of 'exposing' him, we messaged his wife but heard nothing back. I am so scared to tweet about it and I'm so sad because I adore the family... but if he did it to me he may try to do it to other people and I would hate that to happen," she began.

"Basically, the Ingham family announced that they were going to be at Disney World at the same dates my family had booked. and then nearer the time he announced they had actually booked the same hotel as us so I dmed him all excited asking if I could meet them. He said yeah so on like the 2nd night they were there me and my 11 year old sister went to meet them like just outside the hotel and we got photos and hugged and stuff and I said how much their channel had helped me."
She went on to say that Ingham started messaging about "mental health and stuff" because she had revealed her "struggles". "But then he kept messaging me saying he went on walks around the complex after midnight. He then kept asking me if I could sneak out of my family's hotel room to go for walks with him between midnight and 2am. He messaged me multiple times saying how I was so beautiful and pretty and asking me why I didn't have loads of boyfriends at home," she continued, before saying that at one point, Ingham suggested skinny dipping.
"I felt unsafe on holiday... and it took over my 'once in a lifetime' holiday," the accuser went on to assert.

Ingham has since denied the accusations. The YouTuber took to Twitter to share the following statement:
"We are aware that certain untrue stories have been posted on social media platforms in the last 24 hours regarding Chris. These stories are not true and the accusations made are entirely without foundation.
"We are all very hurt and deeply upset by these cynical attempts to damage Chris' reputation and will take whatever steps are necessary to preserve Chris' good name. We are taking action and can't comment further at this time."

Ingham also confirmed that the family have officially pulled out of this year's Summer in the City, citing "stress" due to "false reports" as the reason behind the decision.

A woman has shared the terrifying moment that she came face-to-face with her alleged stalker in a now-viral TikTok video.
In the terrifying footage, which has been liked over seven and a half million times, Maryland resident Hannah Viverette can be seen dancing in her living room to Bishop Brigg's 'River' before she hears a strange noise coming from her balcony.
She nervously walks over to investigate and that's when she discovers that a stranger has climbed up onto her second-floor balcony.
Watch the terrifying TikTok below:

"Oh f***. Who are you?" Viverette repeatedly asks the stranger, her voice increasingly full of concern before she asks him to leave.
"Am I your friend?" the stranger asks.
"No!" Viverette responds. "Please get out."

Viverette then grabs her phone and alerts her neighbor when the intruder refuses to leave her home. Thankfully, the neighbor never questioned Viverette and immediately let her take shelter in their home.
She captioned the video: "That moment when you're recording yourself dancing and your stalker climb your second story balcony to break in. #realshit #scariestmomentofmylife [sic]"
Viverette revealed more about the "absolutely unreal" moment in a Facebook post.
"On Sunday night at approximately 10:20 p.m. I was alone, in the privacy of my home, music up, dancing, AND recording," Viverette explained. "In a moment with my eyes closed, I heard my second-story balcony door begin to open. Startled, I immediately moved towards the door to close it, only to realize there was a man behind the force."
Viverette added that she had seen the man "almost daily" around her home and that he had "many uncomfortable advances" at her.

"For so long I brushed it off, assuming him to 'just be a creep,'" she said. "It was the moment I came face to face with him at my door that I knew he was there to harm me. He kept his hands in the pockets of his hoodie with a smirk on his face."
The TikTok footage enabled police to identify the man as Angel Moises Rodriguez-Gomez - a resident in the building across the street from Viverette’s.
According to local news outlets, the man, who has been released on bail, was charged with burglary and stalking.
Viverette said that her alleged stalker maintains that he was "invited up" to her balcony.

A behind-the-scenes documentary has been made about the OnlyFans star who slept with 100 men in one day, and people have been hit by it emotionally.
If you're keeping up to date with the goings on of adult film stars, then you've probably come across the name Lily Phillips by now.
The British 23-year-old has taken the industry by storm as she sets herself challenges that seem almost impossible.
Phillips recently took on the challenge of sleeping with 100 men in one day and now we can have a closer look at how the day unfolded.
Popular YouTuber Josh Pieters spent the day with Phillips and filmed behind-the-scenes.
One scene in particular was shared on X which featured the 23-year-old having an interview immediately after the challenge was complete.
Naturally, the adult star appears to be exhausted by the entire ordeal and almost dazed by it all.
"It's not for the weak girls," Phillips said. "If I'm honest, it was hard. I don't know if I'd recommend it."
When questioned why, Phillips likened the day to "being a prostitute" and noted that the entire day was "intense".
She explained that if differed from just "having sex with someone" because it was "one in, one out".
With the full documentary being available on YouTube, people have seen it and offered their thoughts.
One person said: "This documentary is devastating to watch as a human. Thanks for making such great content Josh."
A second person added: "OMG the instant regret she had after when she realized how meaningless it all was. that's something she will have to live with for the rest of her life. i actually feel sorry for her."
Another said: "This breaks my heart. She is so wrapped up in making sure the men enjoy themselves. No concern for own health or safety. The fact she doesn't remember most of it is a sure sign of dissociation and trauma. Dissociation is your body's way of showing you its overwhelmed beyond capacity. This whole thing is so sad."
Despite seeming slightly overwhelmed with 101 men in a day, Phillips intends to break the world record and sleep with 1000 next.
To prepare for the challenge, Phillips has been “warming up” with smaller-scale stunts.
“I’ve done 101, and I’m doing 300 in a few weeks. It’s like a boxing match,” she said on The Reality Check podcast. “I think I’ll get sore towards the end, but I’ve got the right determination just to be able to push on.”
Dr. Zac Turner, a specialist in preventive health and wellness, has issued a warning about the potential physical and psychological toll of such an undertaking.
“Sex, at its core, is a physically demanding activity that engages various muscles, the cardiovascular system, and the release of endorphins,” Dr. Turner said via the New York Post.
“Done in moderation, it’s akin to a rewarding workout - promoting stress relief, cardiovascular health, and emotional bonding.”
However, Dr. Turner cautioned that extreme scenarios, like a 24-hour sexual marathon, could lead to severe physical strain. “Fatigue diminishes the pleasurable aspects, and the constant physical exertion transitions from beneficial to harmful,” he explained.
Potential risks include tearing, bruising, general soreness, and fatigue-related injuries. “Lisa Sparks, the previous record holder, herself admitted to being in pain for a week following her attempt - a clear sign of excessive strain,” he said.
Phillips acknowledged the logistical challenges of organizing an event of this scale. She revealed that she has hired a personal assistant and security personnel to ensure the day runs smoothly.
“The plan is to get a room with two doors. The logistics of this is insane,” Phillips explained. Participants must submit a photo holding their ID to confirm their identity and her assistant is organizing the schedule into hour-long time slots.
Despite the complexities, Phillips remains optimistic. “I’m just hoping for a conveyor belt,” she said. “They need to walk in the room and then leave.”

We tend to think that getting into a fight with a troll on the internet is an ultimately harmless affair. No matter how nasty or personal their attacks might be, we can always log out, switch off and go away for a while, safe in the knowledge that whomever we've been fighting with will soon probably forget all about it and leave us alone. The idea that this could spiral into something much, much worse never enters our head.
But for 51-year-old Nicola Brookes, a stranger on the internet eventually became her worst nightmare - a cyberstalker who subjected her to a three-year-long campaign of bullying, harassment, and threats, which left her so afraid for her own safety that she would sleep with a knife by her bedside every night.
The horror story had an innocuous beginning back in 2011, after Nicola left a harmless comment on an X-Factor fan page in which she defended contestant Frankie Cocozza, who was the target of online abuse himself. When Nicola called out the trolls, a number of accounts sprung up with the intention of harassing her, with some of them accusing her of prostitution and drug dealing.
Nicola didn't understand why she had become public enemy number one on social media, and new accounts were springing up faster than she could report them. It was clear that these people were organised, dedicated and utterly malicious. Nicola took the case to High Court, and in 2012 she won the legal right for Facebook to reveal the identities of the troll accounts that were targeting her - one of whom was a police officer.
But despite this, there was one troll who was more cruel and obsessive than all the others. This man was 39-year-old Nicky Wright, who bombarded Nicola with hate posts via 28 separate Twitter accounts and other 18 Facebook profiles, along with public hate pages, public internet radio, video channels and blogs.
Wright contacted Nicola in 2015, claiming to be a fellow-victim of cyberstalking and harrassment in order to gain her trust. Whenever she attempted to block him, new accounts would spring up afterwards, and he had an uncanny ability to acquire Nicola's personal information, no matter how hard she tried to keep things under wraps.
Between June 2016 and September 2017, Wright was attacking her on a daily basis, photoshopping pictures of her, creating videos slating her, and posting her hate mail. He even attempted to feed libellous stories about her to national newspapers. She went to the police to report him, and they urged her to screenshot every abusive message coming from him.
Eventually, Wright was jailed for 22 weeks for stalking and harrassment at at Brighton Magistrates Court, but Nicola believes that his sentence has been too lenient. In a recent interview she stated:
"Nicky Wright is a dangerous, unbalanced fantasist. He is not going to stop. When he gets out of jail, he’ll continue to target me, but if there was a register and he was on it, at least it would help police intervene much sooner and prevent him from escalating his abuse."
She added:
"I was already aware of his presence online, so knew he was just another predator. You could tell by the rest of his Tweets that he wasn’t a victim. He was an attention-seeking troublemaker ... I was still trying to move on from it all, but here he was, dragging me back into it. For months, I tried to ignore him, but he’d grow more and more vile. I’d never met him. He was a total stranger, but that wasn’t a shock. Total strangers had been bullying me since the Frankie Cocozza comment."
"It should never have taken three years and countless officers to jail him. I felt incredibly unsupported by police, like I was left alone with the biggest threat I’d ever faced. It’d take all my courage just to pop out to the shop, and I never went out after dark. I was constantly looking over my shoulder, wondering if I was going to see him. He could’ve marched straight up and punched me, stabbed me, thrown acid in my face – anything. I lost friends because I became such a recluse. I even slept with a knife near my bed. Wright seemed like he really did want me dead."
Indeed, this isn't the first time a victim stalking has been left high and dry. Why not read all about the bus driver who was stalked by a love-crazed passenger for six years?
