Accuser Zachary DeFazio wrote lengthy details in a police report.
DeFazio filed his formal report on October 18. He described three alleged incidents from 2021 when he was 19 years old. According to his report, DeFazio did not immediately come forward because he "did not realize what happened to (him) at first."
In 2023 and 2024, DeFazio began to see "a therapist who specializes in trauma and sexual exploitation victims." After undergoing treatment with "privacy," DeFazio decided then to levy the allegations after he had "time" to process, according to the police report.
"I believe the fact that I could not understand it when I met Scott is exactly why he targeted me," DeFazio alleged, according to the police report.
Accuser Claims He Was Taken to a 'S-- Room'
He alleged he was drinking throughout the evening.
DeFazio claimed the abuse began in March 2021 after meeting Thompson on the Grindr app. At first, DeFazio did not recognize the comic, but realized who he was after meeting in person.
The pair allegedly met for drinks before DeFazio was invited back to Thompson's home. They allegedly boarded a boat on the lake and continued to drink. Thereafter, Thompson allegedly invited DeFazio to a room connected to the performer's bedroom, which DeFazio speculated was a "s-- room."
In his statement to police, DeFazio alleged, "He began groping and kissing me. I did not know what to do, and I froze."
"As it continued, I told him no, pulled away, and said I was not h---y," he alleged. "He kept whining and begging, in a way I now see was manipulative. At no point did I take back that I did not consent, but I froze, and he took my pants off. I complied, and I was very uncomfortable."
