GUILTY PLEA & BANISHED!! Online Personality Naquan ‘DL Whisperer’ Palmer Sentenced To 8 Years After Pleading Guilty To Aggravated Stalking Of TS Madison!! (DETAILS)
Check your notifications and take a seat, because Media Take Out has the absolute latest legal updates on social media personality Naquan “DL Whisperer” Palmer, who officially entered a guilty plea in court following an escalating, high-profile stalking campaign against television star and trans icon TS Madison.
On June 23, 2026, Palmer stood before Superior Court Judge B. Alison Sosebee in Gilmer County, Georgia, trading in his previous not-guilty stance to accept a negotiated felony plea deal.
WHAT LED TO THE FELONY CHARGES?
According to prosecutors, the situation began as an online feud that quickly spiraled out of control into real-world threats and harassment:
- Online Escalation: The conflict originally flared up online before escalating into direct threats of violence.
- Violation Of Protective Orders: TS Madison (born Madison Hinton) was previously granted a temporary protective order. However, the State presented evidence that Palmer breached that order by driving toward Hinton’s residential area, making violent threats during a livestream, and physically intruding into her community.
- February Arrest: Authorities from the Gilmer County Sheriff’s Office arrested Palmer on February 21, 2026, on one count of felony aggravated stalking.
THE NEGOTIATED PLEA & SENTENCE DETAILS
Judge Sosebee accepted Palmer’s plea under Georgia’s First Offender Act. Under this rule, the court withholds a formal adjudication of guilt while Palmer serves his sentence. If he completes all court terms without incident, he can avoid a permanent felony conviction on his record.
Here is the exact breakdown of the negotiated sentence:
- 8 Years Total Sentence: The bulk of the sentence will be served on supervised probation.
- 120 Days In Custody: Palmer was credited for time served starting from his February 21 arrest date, allowing for his immediate release following the plea hearing.
- Financial Penalties: Ordered to pay a $1,000 fine plus $455 in statutory surcharges, totaling $1,455.
- Three-Year Behavioral Incentive: If Palmer maintains clean conduct with zero probation violations or new offenses for three years, his probation may be eligible for early termination.
STRICT “NO CONTACT” RULES & CIRCUIT BANISHMENT
The court placed severe restrictions on Palmer to ensure TS Madison’s safety, backed by a separate Permanent Protection Order:
- Absolute Zero Contact: Palmer is strictly barred from contacting TS Madison directly, indirectly through third parties, or via social media posts, direct messages, tags, hashtags, or hyperlinks.
- One-Mile Distance Barrier: He must stay at least one mile away from Hinton’s residence at all times.
- Banishment Order: Palmer was officially banished from the entire Appalachian Judicial Circuit (Gilmer, Fannin, and Pickens counties). He was granted 30 days to relocate, with his only travel allowance being direct, non-stop passage through Highway 515 or mandatory court/probation appearances.
TS MADISON SPEAKS OUT IN VICTIM STATEMENT
Appearing remotely at the hearing, TS Madison delivered a moving victim impact statement, sharing how the months of harassment and physical threats fundamentally altered her daily life and peace of mind.
Before the court finalized the sentence, Palmer directly addressed the judge and apologized for the mental anguish he caused Hinton. Taking to her social media following the hearing, TS Madison confirmed she accepted his apology, posting screenshots of the permanent restraining order and urging her followers not to encourage or provoke Palmer as he rebuilds his life in peace.
