Woman Who Filed Child Sex Abuse Suit Reportedly Calls for Arrest of Tiffany Haddish and Aries Spears

The woman who was recently revealed to have filed a lawsuit against Tiffany Haddish and Aries Spears alleging child sex abuse in connection with a sketch is now reported to be calling for the comedians to be “immediately” arrested.

Per a report from the Daily Beast this week, the woman—identified only as Jane Doe—has now called on Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón to “immediately arrest and prosecute” Haddish and Spears. In a letter to the D.A.’s office, as also subsequently reported by NBC News and others, Jane Doe also says she and her brother are “prepared to speak with investigators and prosecutors” about the allegations at the heart of the lawsuit.

“This matter’s breadth and complexity require your jurisdictional powers and resources to tackle and end the stream [of] depravity committed by Haddish and Spears,” the letter is reported to read.

Complex has reached out to Gascón’s office for comment on this latest development. This post may be updated.

At the center of the suit, per the Beast’s initial report, is a 2013 sketch that was shared to Funny or Die and elsewhere. The sketch was widely referred to as having carried the initial title of “The Mind of a Pedophile.”

Haddish acknowledged in a recent Instagram-shared statement that “people have a bunch of questions,” although there’s not much she can answer at the moment due to the case being in progress. She also noted the material in question was “intended to be comedic” at the time, although she now regrets having been a part of it.

“I really look forward to being able to share a lot more about this situation as soon as I can,” Haddish, whose attorney previously told Complex the plaintiff’s mother “has been trying to assert these bogus claims” for years, said.

A lawyer representing Spears, meanwhile, told People this week their client “isn’t going to fall for any shakedown.”
