Dawson has since slammed the rumours, both on Twitter and in his latest video.
"I cannot believe that I am having to make this video," says Dawson. "I cannot believe that this is happening.
"I am going to start by saying I am not a fucking pedophile. I, Shane Yaw -- my real name -- go on record saying I am not a fucking pedophile.
"It's disgusting that people are saying that I'm a fucking pedophile because of some shitty ass fucking jokes from six years ago on a podcast."
Dawson goes on to apologise for the jokes he made in the past, saying he was playing a character and would go for laughs by trying to shock people.
"I loved the feeling of making somebody shocked and laugh because they couldn't believe what was coming out of my mouth," he continues. "I wasn't confident enough to make smarter jokes."
