A viral court hearing involving DoorDash driver and TikTok creator Olivia Rose Henderson drew widespread attention after an exchange between her and the judge circulated online.

Henderson, who has pleaded not guilty to one count of unlawful surveillance and one count of disseminating an unlawful surveillance image, requested that cameras be banned from the courtroom. The judge responded, “Oh, now you have a problem with cameras,” a remark that quickly became a focal point on social media.

The case stems from an incident in which Henderson delivered an order to a customer who had requested the food be left at the front door.

According to Henderson, she found the door open and saw the customer lying inside with his trousers around his ankles. She recorded the scene and uploaded the video to TikTok, which ultimately formed the basis of the criminal charges.

Henderson has argued that she was a victim of sexual harassment due to what she described as an unrequested sexual display, though official sources have not characterised the incident as rape.

The situation escalated into a wider online dispute, prompting TikTok, DoorDash and law enforcement authorities to intervene. Both Henderson’s DoorDash account and the customer’s profile were removed from the platform during the early stages of the investigation.

The Oswego Police Department told USA Today that “it was reported that a male DoorDash customer had been nude inside his residence when a DoorDash delivery driver dropped off a food order,” adding that the driver recorded the nude male and that he was found to be “incapacitated and unconscious on his couch due to alcohol consumption.”

The case remains ongoing, attracting substantial public attention as commentators debate online safety, consent and the treatment of women who report sexual assault.
