Robert Geraldino, better known online as RobertIDK, a prominent Canadian YouTuber, is facing severe allegations of grooming and paedophilia.
The 30-year-old creator, who has gained over 1.53 million subscribers through his reaction videos, comedic skits, and animations, is under scrutiny following recent accusations made by X user @mindgames2004.
This user alleged that RobertIDK engaged in inappropriate behaviour with a 15-year-old, sharing a series of tweets with evidence purportedly showing misconduct dating back to 2018.
On July 29, 2024, @mindgames2004 posted a series of screenshots, including alleged text exchanges between RobertIDK and the victim. In these messages, RobertIDK reportedly made inappropriate comments and attempted to arrange a meeting with the minor.
The accuser claimed they initially brought this incident to light in 2019, which allegedly led RobertIDK to blame them for his declining mental health. Additionally, the posts referenced RobertIDK's activity on X, formerly Twitter, from July 2018, coinciding with the timeline of the alleged messages.
As of now, RobertIDK has not addressed these allegations. His last social media activity was on April 9, 2024, although he uploaded a new YouTube video on August 3, 2024, shortly after the accusations resurfaced.
This controversy comes amid similar allegations involving other YouTubers, including Ava Kris Tyson and Dr DisRespect, highlighting a concerning trend within the community.
