James Murray is yet to respond to the serious allegations
The star of Impractical Jokers, James Murray is being accused of sending inappropriate texts to a girl when she was a minor, according to a Reddit user.
The allegation comes only days after another comedian, Joe Gatto was accused of sexual misconduct.
With the username @Pretend_Crab_9160, the woman posted screenshots of the interactions which have now been removed.
The texts allegedly took place between the years February 2012 to January 2013, when she had been 16 and he was 35 years old.
In one of the messages, he wrote, "Haha, you’re awesome… Once you turn 18, email me the same question and I’ll be happy to answer,” to which she responded, "I’ll do my best, promise."
Going by the name, Melyssa she said they discussed explicit topics like s*** toys, even saying “I love you” to each other, "I’ve only shared what I feel comfortable with at the moment. Censored for obvious reasons. I was 16/17 when I first reached out to say I was a fan, that’s when he offered meet and greet tickets."
She continued, "We met up again a few times when he came to London. I would go to the parties and stay in his hotel. He bought me lots of nice things, gave me money for private taxis, and things no adult would have been needing money for."
The user further claimed that he had once invited her to meet him in the middle of the night, "This all happened between the ages of 16-18. Please remember I was young, I thought this celebrity liked me and that it was the coolest thing ever at the time. I acknowledge my part in this, but people need to be aware so something worse doesn’t happen.”
She added, "His management and team were there. He gave us all access passes, and at the afterparty, both of us minors were given shots all night."
James Murray had not responded to the allegations.
