As we know Drake Bell is a former child actor and musician known for his role on the Nickelodeon show “Drake & Josh,” has had several legal issues in recent years. In August 2021, he was sentenced to two years probation and 200 hours of community service after pleading guilty to attempted child endangerment and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles. The charges stem from an incident in 2017 involving a 15-year-old girl who attended one of Bell’s concerts in Cleveland, Ohio. Bell was accused of having inappropriate conversations with the girl over social media and engaging in sexual contact with her at a hotel.

Bell’s legal troubles began in 2015 when he was arrested on suspicion of DUI in California. He pleaded no contest to the charge and was sentenced to four days in jail and four years probation. In 2016, he was sued by a woman who claimed he had verbally and physically assaulted her. The case was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.
