He is accused of providing false statements to insurers regarding his injuries, which he claimed were due to sepsis. In addition, Hopper faces charges related to encouraging another person, Marius Gustavson, to remove limbs from others, and he has been linked to purchasing disturbing videos that depict such acts.
