Dee Kosh who is due for sentencing on Friday (August 5) will be back in court to face the music.
According to CNA, the prosecutor sought a jail sentence of 5 to 8 months for Dee Kosh’s offences, but the defence counsel is seeking a jail term of 2.5 months.
Shortly, after the news of Dee Kosh’s possible sentencing, a petition has been posted on Change.org and it calls for a heavier sentence for Dee Kosh’s case.
The petition titled: “DEE KOSH SENTENCE IS TOO LIGHT, PETITION FOR HIM TO JAIL FOR 3 YEARS MINIMUM”
The Petition can be found here.
Background:
Former radio deejay, Darryl Ian Koshy, or Dee Kosh, pleaded guilty to three criminal charges.
The three victims were between the ages of 15 to 23 at the time of his offence.
The 33-year-old YouTuber pleaded guilty to offering cash to an underaged boy for explicit services, as well as the attempted exploitation of a young person.
He had offered between $400 to $2,000 for explicit acts with the victims after reaching out to them on social media.
None of the underaged boys accepted his offer, but he also secretly filmed a man who had accepted his offer of explicit activity.
Dee Kosh pleaded guilty to one charge of communicating with an underaged person to obtain explicit services, one charge of attempting to exploit a minor, and one charge of making an obscene video.
Four more similar charges will be taken into consideration for his sentencing, including making an obscene video.
Dee Kosh was also examined at the Institute of Mental Health after his lawyer obtained a psychiatrist report on whether Dee Kosh is a paedophile and what are the risks of him reoffending.
