LAPD Evidence Presented in D4vd Preliminary Hearing
The prosecution introduced digital evidence during the hearing to establish the nature of the relationship between the singer and the victim. According to testimony provided by an LAPD detective, a search of D4vd’s phone revealed sexually explicit imagery of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
The detective further detailed a series of text messages exchanged between the two parties. These communications are being used by the court to reconstruct the timeline and interactions leading up to the crime. The evidence focuses on the digital footprint left by the singer on his personal device.
Testimony Regarding Pregnancy and Abortion

The case has drawn significant attention due to D4vd’s profile as a rising musician. However, the court’s focus remains on the forensic evidence, including the phone records and the specific nature of the explicit content found by investigators.
