James Murray from Impractical Jokers gets accused of inappropriate behaviour with minor amid ongoing s*xual misconduct case of Joe Gatto

Impractical Jokers star James Murray is facing allegations of sending inappropriate messages to a minor. James Murray was allegedly accused by a Reddit user @Pretend_Crab_9160 of having an illicit relationship that involved questionable messages and visits between herself and Murray.

These accusations by the Reddit user come barely a week after Murray’s Impractical Jokers co-star, Joe Gatto, was slammed with sexual misconduct claims.

According to The Tribune, the accuser, who identified herself as Melyssa, shared screenshots of messages exchanged between herself and Murray under the subreddit r/Impractical Jokers.

The post, which has since been deleted, showed alleged messages from February 2012 to January 2013, when the user was 16 and Murray was 35.

Murray reportedly wrote in one message:

"Haha, you’re awesome… Once you turn 18, email me the same question, and I’ll be happy to answer."

The supposed minor teased him about staying single until she was of age, to which he allegedly replied:

"I’ll do my best, promise."

Melyssa also allegedly claimed in a Reddit post that she and Murray had discussed “di**os” and even exchanged “I Love You.”

She stated:

“I’ve only shared what I feel comfortable with at the moment. Censored for obvious reasons. I was 16/17 when I first reached out to say I was a fan; that’s when he offered to meet and greet tickets.”

Melyssa recounted how the relationship between herself and the popular comedian progressed after she introduced herself to him. She claimed that they met in London and New York:

"We met up again a few times when he came to London. I would go to the parties and stay in his hotel. He bought me lots of nice things, gave me money for private taxis, and things no adult would have been needing money for."

She also shared that the Bones actor allegedly kissed her on one occasion, and she didn’t “remember much else about it.” In another alleged exchange between the duo, Murray thanked Melyssa for sending him a “video,” to which she replied, “Haha, thanks anytime!”

In another conversation, the Reddit user expressed disappointment in missing one of his shows due to sold-out tickets. Murray allegedly asked for her Email ID and sent her tickets. She included screenshots of the email thread in the Reddit post. Melyssa also attached a photo she had taken with Murray and blurred out her face.

Melyssa also narrated how James Murray had allegedly given her and her friend All-Access passes to one of his shows and alleged that they were “given shots all night.”

She admitted that their relationship occurred between the ages of 16 and 18 and that she thought being in a relationship with a celebrity was the “coolest thing ever.”
