On Thursday, the 35-year-old"Drake & Josh" alum posted a video to Instagram, telling fans he owes them"an explanation." The former Nickelodeon star, whose full name is Jared Drake Bell, wasBell began his video by refuting reports that circulated on social media and in some media outlets alleging he had changed his name to Drake Campana and taken up residence in Mexico. His Instagram bio currently shows his name as Drake Campana.
"This individual continued to come to shows and pay for meet and greets, all while I was unaware that this was the same person I was communicating with online, and that's what I plead guilty to," he continued."It was reckless and irresponsible text messages. I want to make clear there were no sexual images, nothing physical between me and this individual.
"Today I accept this plea because my conduct was wrong," Drake shared during the July 12 sentencing hearing, according to NBC News."I'm sorry that the victim was harmed in any way — that was obviously not my intention. I have taken this matter very, very seriously, and again I just want to apologize to her and anyone else who may have been affected by my actions."
