Popular YouTuber Cody Ko has been in the news ever since some shocking allegations were leveled against him. D'Angelo Wallace, in his viral video titled An uncomfortable conversation about Cody Ko., said Cody Ko was accused of having sex with Tana Mongeau when she was underage and he was 25 years old.
Wallace also claimed that Mongeau accused the Canadian of "statutory rape." Explaining how certain things made the situation "worse," he said:
"To be clear - 17 is under the age of consent in many states, including Florida, where Playlist Live used to take place. So this means that Tana Mongeau is accusing you of statutory rape, and she is not trying to hide that. Nothing would make this situation better, but plenty of things make it worse. Like the fact that she was a fan of yours at the time, adding an additional layer to the power dynamic you would have had over her."

Wallace went on to say that Mongeau had been making the "same specific claim" against Cody Ko "for years":
"But she stated very clearly that the actions she's accusing you of are inexcusable. These recent allegations are bad on their own, but there are a couple of things that make them worse still. Things that many people don't know yet, but you do! You know that Tana has been making the same specific claim against you for years now!"

Tana Mongeau alleged Cody Ko "hooked up" with her when she was 17 years old
On the 88th episode of her Cancelled with Tana Mongeau & Brooke Schofield podcast, Tana Mongeau opened up about a "crime." Claiming that the situation was circulating all over the internet, the content creator said:
"I understand that this isn't just some crazy tea. It was a crime. And I've tried to talk about this a million times and I feel like I never have the right words. But it's everywhere all over the internet, and I know people want me to talk about it, and I'm going to do my best right now."
She then alleged that Cody Ko "hooked up" with her when she was 17 years old:
"I hooked up with Cody Ko when I was 17 and he was 25. Yeah, it happened! And I think that... first of all, it's really... I'm trying to think about it from a perspective of, like, a younger sister or someone that I really care about."

Mongeau later provided details about a Playlist Live event, during which Gabbie Hanna allegedly informed Cody Ko that the internet personality was underage:
"I definitely am, like, why was he doing that? You know what I mean? And there were so many situations. There was a situation with Gabbie Hanna at a Playlist Live where she pulled him aside and told him like, 'Yo! She's 17!' And then we still went and hooked up."
Tana Mongeau also explained why she did not associate the situation involving Cody Ko "with trauma," saying:
"I can look at that and be like, 'Why the f**k were you doing that?' But there isn't a part of me, at least at 25 now. I mean, I look back and I would never do anything like that. So I'm like, 'What the f**k was wrong with you?' But I don't associate or hold it with trauma because I am such a comparative person where I'm like, 'So many worse things have happened to me."
Gabbie Hanna seemingly corroborated Tana Mongeau's claims about what happened at the party
In the aforementioned video by D'Angelo Wallace, he played an old clip of Gabbie Hanna, in which she seemed to corroborate the events that happened at the party described by Tana Mongeau.
While Gabbie Hanna did not explicitly name Cody Ko, she did say she confronted "a guy" who was making out with an underage girl.
"One time, I told a guy, I saw him making out with a girl at a party who was underage," Hanna said. "And I pulled him aside and I was like, 'Hey man, you probably don't know. I know, like, she looks a little older. She's underage. Watch it.' And he's like, 'Oh, my god! Thank you for telling me.' And then he f**ked her that night!"
