D4vd Found with Extensive Child Pornography on iCloud Account

Los Angeles prosecutors have disclosed troubling details regarding singer D4vd, whose legal battles now include serious accusations of possessing child pornography. A recent court hearing revealed that authorities discovered a substantial amount of illicit material stored in his iCloud account.

D4vd’s Legal Troubles Escalate

During a hearing on Thursday, Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman informed the court that the investigation into D4vd, born David Anthony Burke, revealed a staggering eight terabytes of data on his iCloud account. So far, prosecutors have only managed to examine one terabyte of this content.

Child Pornography Charges

The exact amount of child pornography among the files remains uncertain. However, the sheer volume of data poses significant challenges for investigators. Reports indicate that Burke’s defense team can access this data using a secure computer at the justice center. Additionally, there are 20 to 30 terabytes of raw data on various devices that the district attorney’s office is working to transfer for defense review.

Details Surrounding the Murder Charge

D4vd faces multiple serious charges, including first-degree murder related to the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Burke, appearing in court wearing an orange jumpsuit, was visibly slumped in his chair during proceedings.

Autopsy Findings

The Los Angeles County medical examiner recently released an autopsy report indicating that Rivas Hernandez died from multiple stab wounds, confirming the manner of death as homicide. The report detailed severe injuries, including two penetrating wounds to her torso, one affecting vital organs.

Timeline of Events

Celeste Rivas Hernandez was last observed alive on April 23, 2025, when she reportedly visited D4vd’s residence in the Hollywood Hills. Tragically, her dismembered remains were discovered in September 2025, hidden in bags within the trunk of Burke’s Tesla.

Current Status of the Case

  • Burke was arrested on a Friday and charged the following Monday.
  • He is currently held without bail.
  • The charges may expose him to the death penalty.
  • Additional charges include lewd acts with a child and the dismemberment of Rivas’s body.

As the case unfolds, the substantial evidence both in the homicide investigation and the allegations of child pornography will likely play a pivotal role in the proceedings. El-Balad will continue to provide updates on this troubling case.
