New court filings have surfaced alleged private messages between 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez and singer D4vd (David Burke), including a March 2025 text in which the teen said she wanted “more” from their relationship, according to investigators.
The documents, cited in recent court records, describe a pattern of communications that prosecutors say point to an ongoing and inappropriate relationship between the artist and the minor. Authorities claim the messages include references to intimacy, pregnancy concerns, and emergency contraception use.
Investigators say the evidence was pulled from D4vd’s iCloud account, forming part of a broader case tied to allegations of continuous sexual abuse of a minor.
Prosecutors allege the communications show a relationship that went beyond casual contact, arguing it reflects repeated exploitation of the victim over time. The filings also reference additional digital evidence, including material found on the suspect’s phone that investigators classify as child sexual abuse content.
D4vd, whose legal name is David Burke, is currently facing a first-degree murder charge in connection with Hernandez’s death. Authorities previously reported that her remains were discovered inside his Tesla, a detail that has intensified public attention on the case.
Court records also outline a timeline of alleged abuse, stating that the victim’s messages reflect emotional distress and a desire for a different kind of relationship than what prosecutors describe as ongoing exploitation.
The defense has not publicly responded to the latest filings in detail, and the case remains active as investigators continue reviewing digital evidence and communications.
Authorities say the combination of messaging records, digital files, and physical evidence will be central to the upcoming legal proceedings.
