Andy Dick, an American comedian, and actor, has been charged with felony sexual battery after an event in Orange County, California.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department was summoned to O’Neill Regional Park on Wednesday, May 11, and surrounded the RV camper where Dick, 56, was found. The police were called after an adult guy identified as “JJ” reported that the comedian had sexually assaulted him.
Dick had been living at an Orange County campsite with a group of folks who were live-streaming their lives on the Captain Content YouTube channel.
The arrest came following an investigation at the scene, according to OC Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Scott Steinle. The accused victim was transferred to a local hospital for an assault assessment, according to the outlet.
Dick was taken from the trailer and searched before being arrested for felony sexual battery.
A bewildered “JJ” can be heard telling another passenger in the recreational van what he alleges happened about the 3:10 mark of a clip from the Livestream.
He said;
“I was just in bed right now, and I smelled certain parts of my body … [I was] in the other RV with Andy, and … the last thing I remember, we were on the phone with his fiancée … I smelled parts of myself and they smell like artificial smells.”
The streamer then alleged that he thought he had lotion or lube-like substance in his butt. Around the 5:29:00 mark of the original Livestream, “JJ” attempts to confront Dick, but the comedian appears more concerned with his drugs.
“Did you take my cocaine?” he asks the streamer, who replies, “No, I didn’t even take it whenever it was offered.”
“JJ” then asks, “Why did you assault me in my sleep?” to which Dick responds, “I never assaulted you in your sleep. Can you leave me alone?”
Despite Dick’s on-camera denial, Sgt. Steinle told Page Six that they took the “Andy Dick Show” star into custody based on “information that was given to them” from the alleged male victim when they arrived on the scene. Police also performed an onsite investigation.
The actual arrest took place around 11:15 a.m. local time and, per the officer, the investigation is still ongoing. Dick has not been charged pending the District Attorney’s review.
His bail was later set at $25,000 and he is due in court Friday. Dick, who is a father to three children with two different women, has run into repeated legal trouble with regard to drug possession over the years.
Dick, who starred in Road Trip and NewsRadio, has also had a string of arrests in recent years including on domestic violence charges last November, for allegedly groping a Lyft driver in 2018, and a 2010 incident involving a bouncer and patron at a West Virginia bar.
