Justice Delayed, Not Denied The preliminary hearing for singer songwriter D4vd (real name David Anthony Burke) has been delayed since April, when Los Angeles County prosecutors filed murder and sexual abuse of a minor charges against him.
The case is now moving forward, with the court set to weigh the evidence. Prosecutors allege that Burke began a relationship with 13 year old Celeste Rivas Hernandez in November 2023, when he was 18.
By April, his career was taking off, with several viral TikTok singles and an international tour planned for his debut album Withered.
