Felony charges have been filed against a social media influencer and hip-hop artist accused of sexually assaulting two women in an area vacated due to the Palisades Fire, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said on Tuesday.
Clinton Adams, 32, of Northridge, was charged with three felony counts of forcible rape and one felony count of assault with the intent to commit rape for crimes committed over the summer, according to the DA’s office. If convicted, Adams faces up to 90 years to life in prison.
“These allegations describe predatory attacks carried out in an area still affected by the aftermath of the January wildfires,” District Attorney Nathan Hochman said in a statement. “Taking advantage of a historic disaster and causing severe harm to two women is despicable. These women showed courage by coming forward to report their assaults.”
The statement continued by saying investigators believe there may be other victims. Officials encourage potential other victims to contact the Los Angeles Police Department at 213-473-0420 to file a report.
Adams, who is known online as “Clintnlord,” remains in custody on $1.4 million bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled to take place Jan. 21, 2026.
