Former Nickelodeon star Drake Bell, who was sentenced to two years’ probation and community service in July after pleading guilty in charges stemming from his online conduct with an underage fan, says in a new Instagram video that he did not know the age of the fan at the time of their virtual communication and that “all conversation and communication stopped” when he became aware.
