Ryan and Adam have both had sexual pictures and videos leaked onto the internet. These were first leaked onto a body building forum a few weeks ago but didn't get much attention. There were no accusations or context associated with them during the initial leak. Yesterday, 4Chan got hold of the files and posted them again, but this time with a series of accusations including: both men sent the pics and vids to fans, both did so without their wives knowledge so were cheating, both sent them to minors, both pressured young fans to send pictures in return, both sent pics to people who didn't want to receive them. There is also a video of Adam and his wife having sex, with the camera placed in such a position that people believe he took the video (and possibly sent it to someone else) without her knowledge and consent, but nothing had been confirmed.
Someone has come forward claiming to have exchanged nudes with Ryan over social media, beginning when she was 17, though she admits she told him she was 18. She alleges they met at an RT event, had an on and off virtual relationship for 2 years, and made plans to meet up and have sex in Austin but they fell through. She also suggests other community members can back up her story and has posted snapchat screenshots which she alleges are conversations between her and Ryan. If true, possession of pornography of someone under the age of 18 is illegal in Texas, despite the age of consent being 17, so this could get serious.
Ryan has made a statement announcing he is leaving RT, but denying any illegal activity. Statement is as follows: "I made mistakes and will be leaving RT to focus on rebuilding my family and life. I'm sorry to anyone I've hurt. I do want to say emphatically that I never did anything illegal. The consequences of my actions are mine to deal with, please stop harassing and threatening my family."
