Around the same time, another user, Katie, came out with her own statement where she accused ZeRo for having sexually harassing her when she was 14 and ZeRo was 19 and highlighting an explicit detail that can't be mentioned here<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sra87v|title=Katie's statement}}</ref>. ZeRo would make a response to that accusation on June 3rd, stating that, at that time, he didn't know Katie was 14, and when she told him he cut off contact with her immediately. He then addressed the hentai accusations and his awkwardness in handling the situation, stating that it was due to a rough childhood filled with abuse and bullying<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vSdd514HCH6Wtb1epx2rbeOK-ME0UXKsBDQK6hbI-faWhg_kQY-QJR9BgpNSEmeSqhN9JnIBuQW6gUk/pub|title=ZeRo's second statement}}</ref>.
