And when she objected that he was a minor, he told her that it was nonsense». After that, Dalas allegedly asked her for a photo of her naked, which the minor did not admit at all, then Daniel Santome allegedly sent her specifically a photo of her naked torso.[26]

For me I am already doomed».[30]
Controversies[]
Dalas and RaiMito[]
In 2016, he was accused of harassing and having risque conversations with minors. Daniel responded to the accusations by claiming that; "They have impersonated me and has been asking quite young fans, between 13 and 16 years old, for nude photos and to have sex",[31] The conversations had messages of the supposed Dalas with the 15-year-old girl, inciting her to record pornographic videos or have a threesome.[32] The minor had conversations in a group of WhatsApp with the supposed Dalas, and suspecting that it was not the original, she asked Dalas's friend who had discovered her fake number leaked on Twitter.[31]
The supposed Dalas changed his phone number on the Whatsapp groups before leaving them. And thanks to this they discovered that their number was associated with Snapchat, which allowed them to reveal their real identity:[31] it was a young youtuber named "RaiMito".[32] RaiMito uploaded a video titled: "Dalas me obligó a hacer este vídeo" (Dalas forced me to make this video), in which he apologized to Dalas, admitting that he impersonated his identity with a group of friends like a joke. He, nevertheless, denied asking for photos, justifying himself on his phone's SD card. In the video he also shows snippets of his conversation with Dalas when he was discovered, explaining that he has already fixed everything although "the joke came at a cost".[31]

In the video where he comments on the complaint, he mentions about all the damage that his public image received due to complaints filed by his ex and his friends, of which only one came to trial. Daniel Santome affirms that «despite being innocent when society wants to hate you they go from "I don't like Dalas to Dalas is the worst"».
