Local DJ and YouTuber Dee Kosh is facing a number of very problematic allegations.

On Aug. 15, Instagram user @_epaul alleged that the YouTuber had sexually harassed him in 2018. 

@_epaul was 17 years old then, while Dee Kosh was 30. 

At least four other persons have come forward with similar encounters, one of which allegedly happened just two weeks ago.

Here's a quick timeline of how the events have unfolded:

• Aug. 15: @_epaul posts allegations against Dee Kosh
• Aug. 16: Dee Kosh sends a lawyer's letter to @_epaul on the grounds of harassment and defamation. The letter stated that the allegations are "wholly untrue," and demanded that @_epaul takes them down.
• Aug. 17 (afternoon): DC Law firm, which acted on behalf of Dee Kosh, told Mothership that it was no longer representing Dee Kosh.
• Aug. 17 (night): Dee Kosh apologises and admits that there is some truth to the allegations.
• Aug. 17: It was reported that the police are investigating the case.

As certain curiosities have been aroused by the fact that DC Law was no longer representing the YouTuber, Mothership spoke to a local lawyer who provided several possible reasons that could have led to this.

Astute readers have also noted that Fong Wei Li, one of the lawyers who was representing Dee Kosh, is a long-time friend of Xiaxue's.

1. No formal agreement between the lawyer and client

Only one day had lapsed since the @_epaul posted his allegations before the letter of demand was sent, the lawyer noted.

As things were moving that fast, it is possible that no formal agreement had been reached between Fong and his client, Dee Kosh.

This could be in terms of payment, or the outcome that Dee Kosh wanted from the potential lawsuit.

As with any business or professional relationship, the lawyer explained, things can fall through.

2. Dee Kosh dropped the lawyers

Perhaps the YouTuber had decided to terminate the services of his lawyers, or decided not to pursue his claim against @_epaul.

This would explain his apology that was released shortly after.

3. The lawyers dropped Dee Kosh

This may be possible if Fong or his associate had discovered that Dee Kosh had not been completely truthful with them, or if he did not pay their fees.

4. Dee Kosh is seeking different representation

As the accusations against Dee Kosh have now involved the police, it may be possible that the YouTuber is looking to engage a lawyer more familiar with criminal law instead (Fong's expertise is in media and internet law).

In any case, Dee Kosh’s demands in the original letter from DC Law would still stand.

However, this could change, depending on whether Dee Kosh is still pursuing his claim against @_epaul.
