On June 10th, 2022, Daniel made severe allegations against Ryan, accusing him of sexual assault in 2018 at a caretaker’s house, these allegations lacked supporting evidence.

Sometime later (presumably mid-late 2022) Daniel wrote several YouTube community posts, reiterating again, how he got assaulted by Ryan.

In July 2023, the YouTuber “Daniel Larson Curator” uploaded an interview with a supposed former caretaker of Daniel. This (unconfirmed) caretaker claimed that Ryan still lived with him and provided a detailed yet disputed account of the dynamics between Daniel and Ryan, portraying both as groomers with Daniel allegedly having a dominant role.

The authenticity of these claims remains debated, with some community members viewing the caretaker’s interview as a possible trolling attempt. Despite various perspectives, the truth about Ryan’s character and his interactions with Daniel remains shrouded in uncertainty. 

Adding to the complexity, Flexburger (LarsonLeak) stated in a Reddit AMA in May 2023 that the allegations were fabricated and that he recalls when the lie was invented.
