Pedophilia

Daniel Larson's most (in)famous trait is his extensive history regarding pedophilia and pedophilic behavior. It is unclear where this behavior comes from. While the cause is extensively debated, It is speculated to have come from alleged childhood sexual abuse, the twisted, disjointed way he views the world (on account of his mental illnesses), intense porn addiction, and his stunted sexual development.

While Daniel has been manipulated to make admissions of pedophilia and evidence has been faked by past management and trolls, there is irrefutable evidence that outright confirms Daniel to be a pedophile.

Origins

Alleged Childhood Sexual Abuse

Daniel's question on Quora about his mother.

Michelle Lawrence's comment on Facebook.

It is speculated and constantly debated that Daniel's pedophilia is a result of a traumatic childhood experience, such as facing sexual abuse. As such, it is speculated that Daniel's mother sexually assaulted him when he was young. This rumor spread after his Quora page was discovered. Quora is a website dedicated to asking and answering questions. On this account, Daniel questioned as to if the reader ever experienced their mother sexually stimulating them as a child. As such, many made the assumption that Elisabeth had carried out this act on his son. However, this is unconfirmed, and most likely false. During the Dog Arc, a Facebook user by the name of Michelle Lawrence claimed to have worked with Daniel during his childhood, most likely during the time in which he was at the Tennyson Center. She claimed that Daniel had "...a history of child sexual abuse (to him and by him)," which adds believability the claim that Daniel was possibly molested as a child. However, due to no records existing of Michelle actually being an employee at the Tennyson Center, her claims remain invalid. Daniel is known to hold grudges against people, and if he had been previously sexually abused, especially in childhood, he most likely would have already posted about it.

This is incredibly important as there has been an incredibly strong link established between childhood abuse and pedophilia, as anywhere between 33% to 75% of child sex offenders report being sexually abused as children. According to a Canadian study:

“ Those who had been sexually abused before age 16 sexually offended against significantly younger victims and had significantly more indicators of pedophilic interest ”

Daniel's pedophilic tendencies could be a response to traumatic events from his childhood. Although Daniel's childhood abuse is tragic, it may have positive implications for his recovery. Sex offenders who were victims as children are more likely to complete treatment and avoid re-offending. However, it is highly unlikely for Daniel to receive treatment as a result of his mental illnesses and his unwillingness to receive treatment for them.

Daniel also alleges that he was abused by a person named "Ryan" from 2018-2019, although the validity of Ryan sexually assaulting Daniel is questionable, as information from the Caretaker Call implies that Daniel may have been the one to assault Ryan. Additionally, statements regarding when Ryan raped him are often contradictory or don't make any sense at all. For example, Daniel claims that Ryan sexually assaulted him due to Ryan supposedly being jealous of his perceived "fame."

Examples

Obsession With Child Celebrities and Children in general

One of the most consistently appearing figures in the Daniel Larson saga is Grace VanderWaal, whom he was obsessed with when she was well under the age of 18. Daniel has been known to like, bookmark, and watch videos of children. His usual subjects are celebrities such as the aforementioned Grace and Darci Lynne, but also with random children, which most disturbingly, were as young as infants. In October of 2023, Daniel was caught by a Reddit user liking photos of their infant child.

Camera Roll

On an unknown date, Daniel accidentally exposed his camera roll to his camera, which displayed possibly hundred of saved photos of children on his phone, some of them containing explicitly illegal photos of child nudity.^{[Censored, of course]}

Second Pinterest

The screenshot Daniel uploaded, with his profile photo circled.

In September 2023, Daniel’s second Pinterest was exposed by a Reddit user. The account was found when Daniel uploaded a screenshot which included his profile photo and an account he followed. His account, “Joy King” or comfortablecop12, was found by looking through J Gummysmile’s following list.

The account included several photos of Grace Vanderwaal and other child stars in bikinis alongside articles on masturbation, like his first Pinterest.

Once this account was exposed on the subreddit, he attempted to delete it. He claimed he has never used Pinterest before (despite posting several Pinterest screenshots the night before being exposed) and reported the subreddit.

Quora Leak

See Quora

Daniel's Quora account, leaked some time after August of 2022 by Flexburger, featured even more admissions of pedophilia from Daniel, with quotes as blatant as:

"Why do I have strange thoughts involving children?"

"How do pedophiles pick up a girl?"

"How did your daughter's body react to her first orgasm?"

Daniel, despite denying this account was his, accidentally showed him having the Quora app and a Quora account on multiple occasions.

Real Interaction

Daniel used to live in a home with a family that had two children, one of them being named Breanna. The son of the two children recorded a highly disturbing video of Daniel Larson pouncing on and trying to kiss Breanna,^{[Extreme content warning]} his sister. Daniel admitted to masturbating in front of Breanna and her brother in the "Columbia Records" Discord, admitted to touching her chest, and later making extremely graphic comments about Breanna, such as calling her an "upcoming pornstar."

Sting Operations

Given Daniel's infamy on the internet as a lolcow and a horrorcow. Various trolls would approach him with the intent of trolling him, only to be met with his disturbing behavior. Several trolls impersonated 14-year-old actor Issy Simpson in order to catfish Daniel Larson on Kik, a messaging app. Daniel's conversations with the sting are highly disturbing, featuring Daniel asking extremely disgusting and sexual questions about minors. Several instances showcasing Daniel's pedophilic behavior have been leaked to Reddit. Many of them are cited above, below are three others that were not mentioned. All are compilations of leaked direct messages between Daniel and trolls.

Admissions

On January 16, 2023, Daniel went live after talking with a fake Grace VanderWaal who had convinced him to admit to both being a pedophile, and to having struck Bob Proctor on multiple occasions. User Zealousideal-Hand-2 on r/Daniellarson claimed to have been at least one of the "Graces" involved in extracting this admission.

On July 28, 2023, Daniel posted a video to his Youtube account after being "told by the FBI" to admit to his pedophilic action. Daniel admitted to sending nude pictures to minors, masturbating in public spaces, and shoving a water bottle into his rectum.

On October 8, 2023, Daniel admits to saving nude pictures of a child onto his phone and keeping it for an extended period of time. these were supposedly sent to him by an unknown troll pretending to be Grace Vanderwaal as "video verification".

Daniel has admitted to, or has been manipulated into admitting that he is a pedophile in the past and present on multiple occasions, the video above being what is believed to be the first 'admission' (keep in mind that Daniel has been possibly manipulated into his admissions). Here are some quotes from some of his various admissions:

"I admit... that I am a pedophile..." "...the reason being... is that I... growing up I didn't have anybody that, really, cared about me and I didn't have anybody that supported me."

"In the past, I used to... uhm... use pictures of girls, uhm, and uhm, masturbate to them. Unfortunately, that was over, uhh... that was a long time ago, to be honest... and I am no longer that person, and I reached out for help and uhm, and, it just so happened that, since I gained popularity on the media, uhm, people found out about my past."

"I am sorry, Dave, for looking up CP and for looking up kids wetting the bed... I am so fucking sorry."

"I am sorry for having 500 megabytes of child p*rn [whispering]"

"I repent! That I am sorry for... masturbating to, pictures of children and Grace. I am sorry!"

While there is the possibility of manipulation, it is only a suspicion rather than an actual fact.
