Andy Dick's on-again-off-again fiancée' says he's safer in jail after his sexual battery arrest this week – the latest in a string of criminal calamities for the former star comedian.

Dick, 56, was cuffed by cops at an RV parked in an Orange County, California campground Wednesday morning, but has been released and is yet to be charged.  

The alleged sex attack was against one of the men with whom he was staying in the mobile home – and who was seen 'cuddling and kissing' him two hours earlier.

Dick's friends and family claim he was set up by RV-dwelling YouTubers looking to profit from his fame and his scandalous alcohol and drug-fueled downward spiral.

The YouTubers claimed in a "video posted on their channel that he molested one of them with coconut oil while he slept.

His on again-off again fiancée Elisa Jordana, 33, told DailyMail.com Dick had been couch surfing since his eviction from two apartments in the past year for constant partying, property damage and police visits.

Until April, Dick was living with Jordana's friend in Las Vegas who was trying to keep him sober, Jordana said. But she claimed Dick was tempted away with offers of booze by the RV streamers.

For the past month he had been living with a group of men who livestream most of their days in a motorhome under the YouTube account Captain Content's RV; drinking, smoking and performing on camera for around 10,000 viewers.

Police were called to the RV parked at a campsite in O'Neill Regional Park, Trabuco Canyon, California, at around 9am on Wednesday after a report of alleged sexual battery by Dick. The arrest was caught on the YouTubers' livestream.

'He's just not capable of making rational decisions right now. So he ended up with these people that put him in a really bad scenario,' Jordana told DailyMail.com.

'I think that this was pre-orchestrated so they could sue him, or they want notoriety from it. 

'I talked to him at 6am that morning, and I talked to the accuser. They were in bed laughing and giggling, touching each other, cuddling and necking.

'Andy's not violent, sexually. He's very sweet. I'm scared that the people that he ended up with, or taking advantage of his vulnerability, because he's extremely vulnerable right now.'

Dick's friend and former housemate Jesse Grider agreed.

'They're just exploiting him and putting him on livestream all the time and trying to get something out of him,' he said.

Four police cars showing up for a celebrity arrest came as a surprise to Laguna Beach retirees David and Pam Hagen, who were enjoying a mid-week getaway in their airstream caravan, having just finished their breakfast and preparing for a day of hiking.

'I noticed a police officer standing in the doorway to that RV with his hand on his rifle,' said David.

'We realized something was going on that was a big deal over here,' Pam added.

'Back 15 years ago there used to be a lot of homeless wanderers here. But now it's very nice,' David said. 'So that surprised me.'

Nestled at the end of a leafy and winding canyon road, past a meditation center and a community church, the gravel-lined campground was dotted with old timers in spacious motorhomes and young families cooking out and enjoying the 80-degree sunshine on Thursday.

The arrest and lead up were livestreamed with footage posted to YouTube later of a young man  who goes by the name 'JJ' telling another person in the RV that he believed Dick had molested him in his sleep
