Disgraced former radio deejay Dee Kosh, who was previously convicted of offences against underaged boys in August 2022 and has since served a prison sentence of 32 weeks, has released a tell-all video on Rumble and insisted that he is not a paedophile.
In the 51-minute long video, Dee Kosh, whose real name is Darryl Ian Koshy, revealed in detail about his case and said that he was not able to tell his story, and that it was a “horrible, horrible, terrible thing to be labelled a paedophile”.
He added that he “wouldn’t wish it on (his) worst enemy” and that it is “something (he) will have to live with for the rest of (his) life” because when people Google his name, that’s the first thing that comes out.
Kosh said that he was assessed by a psychiatrist who concluded that he had no signs of pedophilic disorder(s) and that the risk of him reoffending was very low.
He said that now, he is wary of being with younger people, even his cousins, and made it a point to stay away from playgrounds of even taking the same lift with teenagers.
He said that it’s not that he is attracted to kids, but he just doesn’t want to make other people uncomfortable around him.
On his prison sentence, Kosh said that after the whole safa, he feels like he has “paid (his) penance to society” and that he had done his time and paid the price “more than what the average person would have to pay”.
On why he is speaking about it now, he said that it was his way of telling his side of the story.
He said that he is in a “tough position” where if he doesn’t come out crying, people will say he is not remorseful; but if she comes out crying, people will say he is playing the victim.
Summing up his points, Kosh said that “I don’t know where the end of the tunnel is. But I’d like to believe there is one. I will just have to keep running. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes the light cannot even be seen, but just keep running.”
