Multiple women came forward Tuesday (May 16) to accuse Chris D'Elia of sexual assault, harassment and abuse three years after the comedian and podcast host was hit with a wave of misconduct allegations.

In interviews with Rolling Stone, 10 women accused D'Elia of predatory behaviour, and four of the women claimed they were teenagers when the comic, 43, allegedly preyed on them. Several of the women used only their first names or pseudonyms to avoid retaliation and online harassment for speaking out.
