The Denton County, Texas District Attorney’s office is expected to convene a grand jury this month to investigate the suicide of a High School football coach last October.
The investigation will focus on whether TikTok content creator Danesh Noshirvan, AKA @ThatDaneshGuy, will be held criminally responsible for the death of Aaron De La Torre, 49.
According to TikTok, Noshirvan, 38, has more than two million “followers” – a combination of humans and AI bots.
While suicide is technically the victim’s act, under Texas law, the influencer could face felony criminal charges of cyberstalking and manslaughter if he created the conditions that led to De La Torre’s death.
AI at the Root of the Harassment?
Corinth Police Department Investigator Jason Richbourg leads a task force that reportedly subpoenaed TikTok, other social media platforms, and internet service providers.
According to sources, investigators have pieced together a “digital crime scene” linking Noshirvan to AI-driven technology that targeted De La Torre.
In late September, Noshirvan began posting videos about De La Torres, alleging his response to a toy thrown by youths that struck his wife was “to yell and curse at the kids, stalk them when they left the store, confront them down the street, beat them up, choke, and dragging them towards an unknown location away from the public.”
After Noshirvan published the video, De La Torre received calls, texts, online comments, and emails urging him to kill himself. A flood of messages and calls came to Denton Ryan High School, urging the board to fire him. Another series of calls urged the Hickory Creek police to arrest him.
The Fort Worth Star Telegraph reported, “Videos detailing the alleged assault went viral on social media, collecting thousands of views.”
No One Injured in Alleged Assault
Investigators reportedly believe most calls and texts were AI-generated, which created the illusion of widespread human outrage directed toward De La Torre.
Norshirvan’s description of the alleged assault by De La Torres toward the youth was different than the reports by the police:
“On Saturday, 09/28/2024, at approximately 1838 hours, Hickory Creek Police Department Officers responded to a 911 call and possible disturbance at the RaceTrac Gas Station…
“Officers arrived on the scene and observed several individuals reporting that an adult male subject appeared to have assaulted a juvenile male (12 years old). Additionally, many witnesses were filming the incident with personal recording devices. Officers located and interviewed the witnesses and received conflicting statements about the incident. …On the scene, the preliminary investigation revealed insufficient probable cause to effect an on-site arrest. There were no immediately visible signs of assault, injury, or other evidence to support an offense had occurred…”
Within days, the Hickory Creek police issued a press release declining to arrest De La Torres.
“Investigators have obtained all known CCTV footage of the interaction between the adult and the juvenile male…
“After the complete case review, the juvenile’s parent decided that although she does not support the actions taken towards her son by an adult, she believes that no criminal activity occurred and chose not to press charges.”
The Denton Ryan School Board decided not to fire De La Torre:
“Given that local law enforcement closed its investigation… with no charges being filed.”
The lack of arrest and firing caused Danesh to release additional videos, blaming the school for a cover-up, and alleging De La Torre had seriously injured another boy a year earlier.
Danesh called De La Torre “a threat” to his “community” and vowed to get “justice” for the child.
Leads to Suicide
As the videos, texts, phone calls, and comments on social media platforms such as Reddit continued, it appeared thousands had taken an interest in an event where no one was injured.
Friends reported De La Torre grew increasingly depressed and felt he faced mounting public pressure, unaware that most calls and texts were AI, not human.
At the peak of a perceived avalanche of human hate, De La Torres shot himself, ending his life.
Danesh blamed the police and the school board.
In a TikTok response to the suicide, Noshirvan said:
“The death of this man is a deeply sad event and no one ever wanted it to end this way. My heart goes out to this family during this difficult time. However, my focus has been and will continue to be on protecting children, and families who have allegedly been harmed. These children deserve justice and it is important to remember the responsibility lies with the choices made throughout this case, the choice the school made not to act decisively and the choice law enforcement made not to pursue charges sooner.”
The ultimate question of criminality boils down to whether Danesh crossed the line from First Amendment-protected speech to felony stalking if he used AI technology to stalk De La Torre, his family, his community, his employer, and the police with AI calls and texts.
Programs and services can send 1,000 text messages per hour using scripts. Spoofing software can make text messages appear from different numbers. There are voice technologies that allow individuals to make calls using different voices.
De La Torre had a brief playing career in the NFL and the NFL Europe, and was a high school coach for 16 years.
He had been married for 25 years and had four children.

Please leave a comment: Your opinion is important to us!
I remember this case intimately. Two 12-year-old were lobbing a plushie over a store aisle, hitting one another with the 3 ounces of polyester stuffing – and it apparently hit his wife. His response was to scream that them, reject their apology, and drag them outside, beating them.
Local authorities and their parents encouraged them to not press charges, but then a history came out where De La Torre had beaten and even broken bones of other CHILDREN before, including once breaking the arm of a child in a case of MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
And at least one credible rape allegation.
Then, when the latest in his long pattern of horrible, violent, occasionally sexual assaults in children goes public, he solves the problem that he has always been, in the most definitive way.
He was an actual menace and if he’d been held to account by “authorities” sooner, things might not have gotten so dark for him. Cant blame this on Danesh.
Danesh’s ballwasher Kaylan Rae Donahou aka Kaylan_TX_ should really get a kiwi farms thread since she meets the criteria of internet tough guy and Danesh does have one as well.
Mr Parlato, thank you for your investigation into the horrific death of my son, Aaron De La Torre. As his mother, it has been very hard to keep silent and let the investigation proceed without defending Aaron on some of these online attacks on various sites. Your articles have given me hope that Aaron will get justice. My name is Terry Savage and I could message you my phone number on Facebook if you would to contact me.
Please contact me on Facebook or comment here and I will not publish it
Mr. Parlato, have you heard anything else regarding my son’s case?
Danish’s cohort tizzyent is pretty much hitting his followers on youtube
source is the social blade
https://socialblade.com/youtube/user/tizzyent
What does “hitting” followers mean?
Boting
[…] Danesh Noshirvan is unraveling. The SCOTUS Doxxer and TikTok cancel culture enforcer faces legal fire on multiple fronts. […]
Maybe thats one of the reason he continues his attacks for $ and until Tik Tok stops him he will continue. He needs the cash.
Grand jury probes are secret.
But the probing of Richard Luthmann’s anus by MS-13 gangsters is something he brags about.
Hey, Richard? How is your quest coming along to rescind your federal criminal guilty pleas?
Any updates?
Guess that down vote means that legal argument didn’t fly with the judge.
Richard, say it ain’t so!
Man, what bulljunk! AI is a disaster. obviously people cant handle it
A dystopian nightmare isn’t coming it’s already here, and it doesn’t look like Orwell’s 1984 or Huxley’s Brave New World. No, it looks like an influencer with a TikTok account and an AI-driven harassment machine, deciding who deserves to be digitally executed this week.
Oh wow, a man with a TikTok account, an overinflated sense of moral superiority, and some AI-driven outrage bots decided he was judge, jury, and executionerr and when the man he targeted actually ended his own life, Danesh’s response was whoops but not my fault!? Sorry but the real villains here are the police and the school board you know, the people who actually looked at the evidence and determined no crime had occurred!?Silly them, relying on facts instead of viral engagement metrics!?
Thousands of calls, texts, and messages all generated at the push of a button, creating a digital avalanche that convinced De La Torre the whole world wanted him dead.But sure, Danesh, keep telling yourself you were “protecting children.”
Apparently, police departments should just outsource their investigations to TikTok now. Why bother with actual detective work when influencers can just declare guilt based on viral engagement?
Danesh Noshirvan essentially took it upon himself to act as an investigator, prosecutor, and judge in the court of public opinion. Despite the fact that law enforcement reviewed the case and found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing, Danesh continued to push the narrative that De La Torre was dangerous, and it seems he was overriding the justice system with the power of social media. Which is amazing in a twisted way-imagine how many mentally ill people hide behind screens on computers It’s one thing to advocate for justice, but when that advocacy leads to relentless online harassment and a person’s suicide, we have to ask: Where do we draw the line between activism and cyberstalking? Its very sad.
It’s not cyberstalking anymore. it’s just extremism at this point.
I will say it danesh Jon noshirvan is an extremist
Obviulsy there needs to be serious legislation against AI-driven harassment. The ability to generate thousands of calls, messages, and threats creates a false perception of mass outrage. If it can happen here like that anything is possible and probaly time to thriow outall electrical devices and time to write the city council
That is Such bullshit
. Why would Denesh Waste any money on AI generating calls text messages?
I can understand buying fake followers for your socials, but paying for AI calls and messages (not cheap) gives you no return on your investment.
This article is made-up bullshit with literally no sources (or logic) to back up any of its claims.
Sounds like something Danesh would say…
Ive never seen the least bit of evidence of ANYBODY doing this, let alone lone dudes
Harassment came from AI and not real people.Ths should be the biggest concern here. How many other lives have been ruined by fake online outrage? Really really really scary for many many many many reasons.
Where’s your proof?
Daneshhhh built his brand on exposing alleged wrongdoing, but what happens when he gets it wrong? Who holds influencers accountable when they destroy innocent lives…..
If social media influencers can be held criminally liable for harassment campaigns, where do we draw the line between activism and cyberstalking?
When some takes their own life’s because of people like danesh. Heck there should be no statue of limitations.
Heck when these extremists call the cops on people they view as “evil”
“Sources” have confirmed that Fort Myers is Conducting a grand jury probe into Luthmann for a fraud upon the public with his obviously 100% bot-driven subscriber numbers on his Substack. Of course, a grand jury probe is secret so you have no way to know if I’m telling the truth or not. Just take my word for it that Fort Myers knows that Luthman has been unscrupulously using AI To target his perceived enemies online And make it appear like his unread Substack actually has followers. They have also obtained video surveillance footage from all of the security cameras on the street-ho track in Fort Myers And the surrounding public restrooms.
Richard Luthmann is the most ethical, noble man who has ever lived!
He is the greatest legal mind of his generation!
He is a stellar investigative reporter who will win multiple Pulitzer Prizes!
You better watch out Mr. Anonymous! Luthmann will track you down and settle things man to man, Staten Island style!
Better come big or don’t come at all!

Someone mentioned rx0rcist’s kiwi farms thread. Here is the link
https://kiwifarms.st/threads/savannah-malm-savannah-sparks-rx0rcist-milkymalm-lilbrwneyez212-malmetto-sjsmalm.89623/
One of the pages danesh also has a thread with a link but one needs an account to view it.
It wouldn’t surprise me if tizzyent aka Randall Michael mcwhorter has a thread too.
Who the hell mentioned Kiwi Farms?
Yet again, Luthmann is letting his post-rape PTSD muddle his brain.
Getting beat up by an Alpha Man and getting 30 stitches for his trouble doesn’t help.
Richard lives in a fantasy world.
Why are you repeating his hallucinations, Frank?
Prison rape did not kill Mr. Luthmann, it made him stronger!
No one has a more powerful anus than Richard Luthmann!
You got a hard-on for Luthman why?
Hallucinations???
The only hallucinations are your ruminations
and and lust of Richard.
Get back to the minimart job or hop on Grinder.
LMaO AT YOU fool!!!
Have you been hitting the bottle again, Nice Guy?
You told us you had stopped drinking because of neurological problems.
They (extremists like danesh and rx0rcist) have ballwashers for example like twitter user kaylan_TX_ whose real name is kaylan rae donahou of euless has confirmed connections to tizzyent and rx0rcist and responded to them multiple times.
Here is the link to the Rxorcist connections

don’t worry, Frank nice guy will come through for you!!!!
As Frank watched the Super Bowl the Eagles were up 28 points…..and his hopes for KC blown – he had one bright spot….
NICEGuy was hard at work on part 2 of….
Battle of Wizards!!!! Debauchery or death
I can’t wait to read NiceGuy’s final chapter in battle of wizards!
The pop culture and low brow humor is on full display!!!
Danesh and his cabal of criminals and extremists ie rx0rcist and Tizzyent are the proof I need for why TikTok needs to be banned. Heck YouTube needs to take action since he also operates on the site as well as well as the other people mentioned above.
if you want more info about rx0rcist just check out her kiwi farms thread.
c’mon Frank. Link to the videos so we can decide for ourselves about De La Torre’s conduct.
I hope the jury and the grand jury take note of what a scumbag asshole this guy is!!!!!
Grand jury probes are secret.
This sounds like an unfounded fantasy of Richard Luthman’s.
I would love to see any evidence this grand jury probe is actually being held.
Danesh took it too far. After the coach committed suicide Danesh states,
“…my focus has been and will continue to be on protecting children, and families who have allegedly been harmed.”
But the family of the young man DECIDED there was no criminal act, no crime for which Justice needed to be served. There was no allegation by the family and Danesh had his own agenda and was unrelenting.
The blood is on his hands and he will be held accountable.
Justice against Danesh will be swift, divine and cold
I don’t know why they’re assuming the calls and texts had anything to do with AI. Look what happened in the Kassenoff case. Was that AI?
Why the downvotes?
In the Kassenoff case, no children were grabbed, shaken, and put in a headlock etc. Yet the father’s employer was flooded with phone calls and messages demanding that he is fired, and he was forced to resign.
No bots required.
The likelihood is there were zero bots involved in this coach’s case. People are morons and act like stupid lemmings when they get “triggered” by something they see online.
