Dragon Age Voice Actor Arrested On Revenge Porn Charges
Voice actor Johnathon Rees (who goes by his stage name, Greg Ellis) was arrested by the Chenango County Sheriff's Office last week on a number of different charges related to harassing his ex-girlfriend and threatening her with revenge porn. Rees voiced the character of Cullen Rutherford in Dragon Age 2 and Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Rees' charges include three counts of coercion, one count of unlawful surveillance, and one count of aggravated harassment and unlawful dissemination or publication of an intimate image. The charges are tied to a breakup in 2022, during which he reportedly threatened to post "revenge porn" of his ex. Rees was also charged with perjury and "offering a false instrument for filing," which refers to the act of knowingly submitting a falsified document to a public office or government agency with the intention of having it be accepted as an official record. The false filing and unlawful surveillance charges are both felonies, while the others are classified as misdemeanors.
Per court documents, Rees was in a relationship with one Jane Doe from April 2016 to September 2022. On September 6, Doe broke up with Rees and cut off all communication with him. The 56-year-old actor allegedly responded to the breakup by engaging in a harassment campaign (including threats of self-harm and threats of posting intimate images of Doe) in an effort to get his ex to respond to his messages. In his preliminary statement, Rees stated that he is a "public figure" and noted that he has more than 65,000 followers on Twitter and 17,000 followers on Instagram.
