Controversy
Towards the end of May 2020, an Instagram account with the handle @evidenceagainstspacejesus accused Space Jesus of sexual misconduct.
The @evidenceagainstspacejesus account shared screenshots from Sapce Jesus' Facebook, Reddit, and Instagram accounts which allegedly showed a pattern of behavior including unwanted sexual advances and rampant drug use, especially alcohol and ketamine.[11]
Space Jesus addressed one of the allegations with a lengthy statement on social media.
In it, he describes his relationship with a woman named Caeli whose allegations appeared on the Instagram page @evidenceagainstspacejesus.
In an attempt to clear his name, Space Jesus also included a number of screenshots and audio recordings.
Later the same day, Space Jesus released an additional statement regarding the allegations stemming from the Ninja Nation Tour, in which he admitted to unknowingly sleeping with a 17-year-old.
Though he pointed out that the legal age of consent in Oklahoma is 16, he stated that he carries "severe guilt" over the incident and has done some "serious soul searching".[11]
