Executive Summary

Jesus David Torres aka Dahvie Vanity was the lead singer of a popular "Scene" band known as "Blood on the Dance Floor".

This person has been accused of pedophilia, grooming, and sexual assault/harassment a multitude of times.

This person also has records of arrests and convictions dating back to 2007 which line up with said accusations of pedophilia, grooming, and sexual assault/harassment.

At one time he had a loyal following of fans more than willing to confront and silence anyone who came out with allegations of sexual impropriety.

Aegis Initiative believes that having a page that briefly summarizes the actions of this individual, their close friends, and fans, is a necessary example to be made so that grooming and sexual abuse can be more easily identified by convention attendees, convention staff, and venue security.

As with our other pages on famous or infamous individuals and the organizations they are responsible for, we will be relying on the work of others who have covered the topic in exhaustive detail, at least for now.

Musical Career

Listening to any intellectual property created by the artist known as Dahvie Vanity is not recommended.

Given the twin contexts of who the music was marketed towards and the time period in which it was made, it does not stand the test of time and is not good.

Hour-long mini-documentary on Jesus David Torres and his band that has a more 'humorous' bent but also covers notable incidents of witness/victim intimidation by fans, notably the "Jessi Slaughter" incident.

Video which covers the Jessi Slaughter incident, which if true, would indicate that Jesus David Torres had sexually molested an 11 year old child at one time (once again, all credit to Chris Hansen)
