D4vd exchanged a series of text messages with his alleged murder victim Celeste Rivas Hernandez about an abortion she purportedly had in January 2024, when she was 13 and he was an adult, according to phone records presented today by prosecutors.

The messages were recovered from the singer’s iCloud account and presented alongside what investigators described as an extensive collection of child sexual abuse material involving Rivas, found on a phone seized from his Los Angeles home. The platinum-selling singer, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, is accused of killing Rivas on April 23, 2025, after she threatened to disclose the alleged abuse. Prosecutors say he later dismembered her body with a chainsaw inside a blue inflatable pool in his three-car garage. Burke has denied the allegations.

Testifying as the prosecution’s final witness at a hearing to determine whether Burke should stand trial, Detective Corey Farell of the Los Angeles Police Department read the messages aloud and described dozens of images that he said documented Burke’s sexual abuse of Rivas. Prosecutors said the images, which depicted sex acts at Burke’s home, were too sensitive to display in court. Farell said one screenshot recovered from Burke’s phone showed that his lock screen at one point was a photograph of him and Rivas embracing while both were naked from the waist up.

During a description of one graphic photo, Rivas’ mother, Mercedes Martínez, began to cry while seated in the gallery. Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman walked over to comfort Martínez, telling her, “I really think this is stuff you don’t need to hear. I just think it’s too much.” Martínez then got up and walked out of the courtroom in tears, along with Jesus Rivas, the teen’s father.

The text messages, spanning November 2023 through April 2025, showed that Rivas repeatedly told Burke she feared she was pregnant. The earliest such message presented in court was from late November 2023, around the time prosecutors allege Burke began a sexual relationship with her.
