D4vd Case: New Records Suggest Celeste Rivas May Have Been Pregnant at Time of Death

New filings in the case involving D4vd continue to expand the record prosecutors are building around the death of Celeste Rivas, with investigators now presenting additional details about their alleged relationship and its timeline. The state has accused the singer of killing Rivas after she threatened to expose their relationship, though officials say their case now rests on a wider set of allegations and forensic findings.

A report from ABC7 New York notes that an updated death certificate for Rivas leaves unresolved whether she was pregnant in the year before her death. Prosecutors say they have reviewed text messages they attribute to the two, which they claim reference sexual activity, pregnancy concerns, and abortion. They also allege the existence of explicit photographs they describe as “documenting and corroborating their sexual relationship,” which they say support their broader narrative.

In court filings, prosecutors outline a chronology they say begins when Rivas was 11 and D4vd was 16. They further allege that the relationship later became sexual after she turned 13 and he was 18. Additional claims in the case include DNA evidence reportedly recovered from a garage associated with the singer, as well as purchase records for items investigators say were connected to the dismemberment and disposal of remains.

Pregnancy Question Looms as Case Advances

The question of pregnancy remains unresolved in the current filings, with no clear indication yet of how central it will become as the case moves forward. Defense attorneys are expected to challenge both the interpretation and weight of the evidence when proceedings continue later this month.

D4vd has pleaded not guilty to charges including first-degree murder, lewd acts with a minor under 14, and mutilation of human remains. Prosecutors also allege that more than 40 terabytes of child sexual abuse material were discovered on devices tied to him. According to the state, the investigation further suggests continued contact after awareness of Rivas’s age, including an alleged effort to facilitate communication through a third party who provided her a phone.
