An investigation by the Post Millennial and other concerned Twitter users revealed that one of Vanellope’s “drag-moms,” Kelsey M. Boren—also known as Alwaiz Craving—was arrested and charged with 12 felonies related to the creation and dissemination of child pornography.
Prosecutors found Boren so dangerous to the public that they successfully petitioned the judge to deny bail. The trial is scheduled for Dec. 13.
At the time of arrest, Boren was a teaching assistant for special-education students at Veneta Elementary School.
According to reports, Boren told detectives that the need for child porn was like “an uncontrollable itch that she [sic] couldn’t stop.”
Jennifer Hibbs, another drag queen mentor going by “Sunshine Ray MacPherson,” expressed the belief that Vanellope was not abused by Boren.
Boren “obviously made horrific choices and she is no longer a friend,” Hibbs said. “She [sic] had extremely limited time spent with Vanellope.”
Vanellope, whose real name has been kept from the record for safety, is believed to be a biological girl.
Nonetheless, since infancy she has been groomed by adults, including her own biological mother, to develop a hyper-sexualized persona.

Vanellope appears to have been performing for several years and even receives payments via Venmo and CashApp from adult audience members following performances.

Hibbs insisted that this is all “appropriate” and not “suggestive,” the Post Millennial reported.
“Her actual mother does her choreography so that it’s all appropriate,” Hibbs said. “We wouldn’t let her do anything suggestive … it’s terrible that people assume that we would let her do that.”
Despite concern for the child on social media, Old Nick’s Pub—a known leftist bar which constantly hosts fetish and drag events—is accusing concerned parties of launching a “hate campaign,” the National File reported.
In a Facebook post, Old Nick’s doubled-down on the performance, insisting there was nothing prurient about it.
“Drag is an art form,” claimed the post. “It is not an inherently sexual act to dress in drag, and those sexualizing her are falling into a very typical societal trap of misogyny that views any female performance as sexual.”
Members of the domestic-terrorist group Antifa have said they will be providing “security” against anyone who protests against the “celebration of diversity” at Old Nick’s Pub.
Looking a bit closer at the pub we see there may be a connection with antifa and the local kink scene as well. Many people on the page defending a child drag queen and the pub in comments. pic.twitter.com/6Axx8sU1Pi
