Sam Pepper has seemingly been dropped by YouTube's partner programme followinghis ‘Fake Hand Ass Pinch Prank’ video, and subsequent allegations that he raped an 18-year-old girl.

Previously a superstar in the vlogging world, Pepper's videos no longer have adverts on YouTube, meaning he won't make any money from them.

While there's been no official statement from YouTube, or indeed Sam, it seems that things have gone from bad to worse for the online 'prankster'.

He’s already been dropped by his network, Collective Digital Studios, as well as being shunned by friends like Mazzie Maz, who worried that other people would think he was the same.

“I don’t want the whole world thinking I’m a sexual predator. I like tea and cheese!” Mazzie toldNewsbeat.

Meanwhile various other YouTubers have spoken out against Sam, includingLaci Green, whose open letter and subsequent video both went viral.

Last week Buzzfeedran an exclusivefrom an 18-year-old woman, whotold them she filed an incident report with the Los Angeles Police Department on Thursday, allegingSam Pepper raped her last month
