The charges stem from an incident in 2017 involving a 15-year-old girl whom Bell allegedly met online and had inappropriate conversations with.

Bell ultimately pleaded guilty to attempted child endangerment in June 2021.

In July 2021, Bell was sentenced to two years of probation and 200 hours of community service.

The sentencing judge noted that Bell's behavior was "very disturbing" and that he had used his celebrity status to "groom" his victim.

Bell has since apologized for his actions and has stated that he is committed to making amends.

Bell's legal issues have led to backlash from fans, with some calling for him to be removed from streaming services and other media platforms.
