The charges include first-degree murder with special circumstances, continuous sexual abuse of a minor, and mutilating human remains — prosecutors say the abuse began when Celeste was 13 and d4vd was 18. His attorney has pleaded not guilty and vows to defend him, claiming evidence will show his innocence. The victim's dismembered remains were found in d4vd's Tesla trunk in September 2025, and the case includes text messages, photographic evidence, and witness testimony about their relationship and interactions throughout 2024.
