Court Reveals Texts on Pregnancy and Abortion in D4vd Murder CasePreviousNext

Courtroom evidence in Los Angeles revealed text messages between singer David Burke (D4vd) and Celeste Rivas Hernandez, indicating she became pregnant at 13 and had an abortion over a year before her death. Burke, 18 at the time, faces charges including murder, sexual abuse of a child, and mutilation of a body. Prosecutors allege he abused Hernandez and killed her after she threatened to expose their relationship. Burke has pleaded not guilty, and the judge will decide if the case proceeds to trial.
