Opera Singer David Daniels and Husband Plead Guilty to Sexual Assault Charges

Renowned opera singer David Daniels and his husband, Scott Walters, have pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting another singer in Houston. They were charged in 2019 after Samuel Schultz filed a complaint alleging that they assaulted him in 2010. Daniels and Walters pleaded guilty to sexual assault of an adult and were sentenced to eight years' probation, as well as being required to register as sex offenders. Daniels had previously faced sexual assault allegations in 2018, resulting in his firing from the University of Michigan and removal from a San Francisco Opera production.
