As soon as I got the internet in the early 00s, I told everyone I had no camera of any kind and this is exactly why. No weirdo needed to be seeing anything of me, and I definitely didn't want to be seeing anything of them.

I vividly remember having to sit through poorly animated PSAs in kindergarten about this kind of stuff lol. I say we should normalize online predator awareness a lot more, given kids are online now more than ever.
Growing up, I got exposed to some PSA type stuff about internet safety. One major lesson I remember was showing how people can get so much personal information from your Facebook account. Facebook is more for adults now, but back then kids would lie about their age to make an account, which was a thinly veiled lie since one look at said account would make it obvious that the owner is a kid. I also remember "ask your parents before going online" was a common line for any service where kids made accounts, and I'm not sure if its like that now with places like Roblox.
I can remember as a kid in the early 00’s how internet safety was drilled into us. The basic rules were the complete opposite of today. Like never put your full name online, no pictures/videos, never reveal your address or phone number, and always be careful on any chat rooms. We pretty much do all those things to some extent now though. I cover my camera when I’m not using it. iRobot freaked me out.
i know its not funny but austins apology video was basically throwing all the traumas of death, arson, cutting, bad father, drug addicts, depression and abandonment and saying thats why he needed minors to twerk for him. i laff.

I'm surprised they so boldly defending him when he on-camera admitted to serious crimes. Even if he downplayed more serious allegations, he still set himself up to get into criminal legal trouble.
@@flarestorm9417 Doesn't matter really. "Less evolved" people will never understand the seriousness of the situation if they glorify someone or something. Just look at religion through history. They burned children thinking they were witches. Every day it's the same thing today. People believe anything as long as it works with what they choose to believe in.
I only know about this guy because of this scandal. It's absolutely disgusting behaviour, and the fact that there was an attempt to cover it up makes it all the worst. I hope it at least raises awareness among people when it comes to content creators with a fanbase consisting mostly of young, impressionable people. On the internet, it's just too easy for unhealthy relationships to form.
The thing is now that when he lands in the Penitenitary & they find out what he's in for he WILL quickly find out how's it's like to be how he treated those girls, only then will he find out the emotional distress he caused as he'll be passed arround like the good looking boy he's is, his life is going to be hell as it should just like the girls he abbused they'll have to think about it everyday just like that DOG...
@@tr1k716 He’ll be kept out of Gen pop. They tend to keep pedos out of gen pop specifically because they know what would happen to them. My husband has worked in several prisons and jails, including a max security, federal prison. He’s dealt with this a lot… Hopefully a guard lets some folks slip through to his room.
The very last part is what shocks me the most. These are the same kind of people that unironically stan serial killers because they're hot or something.
He's only sorry because he got CAUGHT, If he was sorry he'd have said sorry when it very first came out. He thought it'd soon blow over, how big his EGO was is insane, Also that boy's ass is going to be really famous, popular in the Pen !
As much as I want your claim to be true, I cannot find information confirming what you say. Can you cite the source with a link? I appreciate it in advance.
Those texts around 2:30ish said everything. Dude is super predatory. Well damn I read the chat logs online. Shit is wild. He literally said "while you bounce, smile at the camera and say 'I'm only 14' three times throughout the video".
I thought Trump had a bad Comb over .... Must suck loosing your hair at that age lmfao . He should do the Tim Pool and wear a hat to cover up the balding .
the stuff that happened with deefizzy was insane. I remember all this because it happened the one year i was to attend warped tour (2015) - they had a program for social media stars to be on the tour in addition to the bands and Austin was set to be one of the youtubers in the lineup. Then the accusations blew up and it was a joke how warped tour handled it. Deefizzy was calling out his behavior and calling for him to be dropped from the tour and the head organizers of the tour were dead set on keeping austin on with rhetoric like “you want to hurt this promising young man’s reputation,” “you can’t get far in this industry if you’re this difficult to work with” etc etc. it caused such a big uproar that they ended up deciding to cancel the entire influencer lineup in order to punish deefizzy for speaking out and avoid backlash for keeping austin on. they ended up keeping the program and austin thankfully didn’t attend. It’s just crazy to me how in an attempt to protect 1 measly little predator they wanted to ruin it for everyone…
The amount of stories of underage girls and rock bands, Warped Tours trash attitude shouldn't be that surprising. Especially given pop-punks rep for it. Hell, 2012 Warped Tour was one of Lost Prophets last live things before lead singer was arrested late that year for being a massive peodo
What strikes me as weird about it, is that, while I was in the navy, I saw strippers doing that crap more than thirty years ago...and all I knew about it, was that it wasn't appealing in the least; just looked like they had no idea what they were doing. I only found out a couple of years ago that it had a name, which really surprised me. To be honest, in the years that I went to such places, I only ever saw one exotic dancer who qualified as a dancer...the rest were just girls taking their clothes off. Man, that girl had class! The sort of act that you might see in a film about successful exotic dancers.
@@vienle4089 It's all just "simulated sex" and that's why it's so unappealing. It's not a dance; it's a show of how easy you are. There's a reason it dominates one specific culture.
"He still has their heart" - here is a good place to remind people you don't need a belief in supernatural or God or anything similar in order to build a cult
The only apology video that felt actually sincerer that I've seen was Jenna Marbles's video before she left TH-cam. Everyone else is clearly them trying to save face.
If I was in a situation where I had to make one, it'd be very short and it would be less focused on "trust me, I'm sorry" and more on "I fucked up, I hope you'll see me do what I can to correct it in the future" No waterworks or droopy eyes.
Well, it's usually a bunch of ugly crying and excuses. And at worst it's a full mental breakdown. Some part of you might feel sorry to see that, but then you remember what these people did and that sympathy goes away. At best you're just kind of disgusted or freaked out. But even then, that's not even what Austin Jones did. Maybe it's just the photos people use, but he always has that dead, dismissive look on his face. Even when he's recounting his sob story he looks like he's bored with the whole ordeal. The man looks like an evil rival to late 2000s/early 2010s Justin Bieber.
props to this disgusting actual cartoon character for incriminating himself by getting those people to basically say "You are actively committing a crime" over and over again in those videos
Just imagine how many times he's had his back doors smashed in by the general prison population by now. I bet he regularly has to see the prison doctor for severe bottom injury's. He probably has to wear incontinence pants by now
Never mind the young girls that havent got the capacity to appreciate what this guys is, theirs also a significant number of adult females that will defend these types viciously. I still can't get my head around that.
For most of human history, when an invading force defeated a city, town, nation, whatever - Women could choose to either willingly spread their legs or resist and be forced on or die. Assuming women who didn't resist had their genes carried on more readily, and assuming some part of those genes carried on make them as treacherous as they are, it's not hard to understand why they do what they do. As it is, the sexually liberated female population in western countries are congregating towards the top minority of men. It's a dog eat dog world.
He'll be out in 4 more years around 2027. Arrested in 2017, sentenced to 10 years. Convicted in 2019, but gets credit for time served while awaiting trial. It's now 2023, he's done half his sentence already.
Apology videos never work. They just never feel sincere. It's like u type into chatgbt and it gives you a prompt with all the key phrases to say and repeat and emphasize for dramatic effect. They all just make the guilty party seem worse
i was friends with him back in the day had him on kik i knew something was wrong with him when he would ask me to retweet his music on twitter and i would say “no” he just kept pushing for me to do it lol
Why would you do something that absolutely is guaranteed to get you caught? That leaves a trail of unimpeachable evidence. It's like burglarizing house and leaving his driver's license on the kitchen table.
The last 10 seconds of this video is the best summary as to why this world is so incredibly messed up you could ever ask for, people know the horrendous things he did, and still like and respect him anyways
What a damn fool, he had more that a lot of us could possibly dream in life, and yet he threw everything into the trash trough despicable actions. Proof that some people will never be satisfied with what they have, they’ll always want more and in the end, even abandon themselves to their most depraved desire.
Sad that fans would admit that he's done terrible things but 'he still has their heart.' Why? What in his character would any of these people actually know about to redeem such disgusting things? WTF is wrong with people??
They're kids. Kids don't understand the serious consequences of grooming or ephebophilia. Often, the victims of these perpetrators don't have a stable home life, which makes it easier for them to latch on to an idol or just about anyone that makes them feel wanted. You also need to remember that grooming was not talked about often back then
@@donniev8181 Seems like an issue with the parents then, too, eh? And I think they're old enough to realize that when a person takes advantage of minors, they're not to be trusted. Very young children are old enough to know that - let alone teens.
@@dlr_rosa254 That may be, but the age of the commenter he quoted was not provided. I'd like to think that, with a little simple reflection, knowing that a person got 10 years in prison for violating minors would be enough to cause even a very young person to second-guess 'giving their heart out.' But maybe that's just wishful thinking.
@@mattjohnson8585 some kids are not wise to the world at 13, yes its partially the parents responsibility but the blame falls square onto the pedo. I grew up in a Christian home and i can guarantee you that my little sister was not wise on the things of this world at 13. We need to quit attempting to blame the victims and blame the people that caused the situation, the pedo. If pedos were dealt with in today's society the way God tells us to deal with them then a lot less creeps would be going after innocent children.
I can assure you he changed his hairstyle within the first week of his sentence. I mean what the hell is that anyways? Looks like he's bald and doing the ultimate comb-over.
holy crap, look at that hair. I'm calling it, he was given 10 years for that hair. The whole industry protecting him is typical. Child stars have said this and have been called crazy and were not allowed to act anymore. The two Coreys (Haim and Feldman) come to mind. If you look at their histories both came out talking about abuse before they were 'caught' doing smack, ruining their carriers and from then on no one believed them. These were rich influential kids and still no one believed them about the abuse done by older men in the industry.
While I appreciate remembering these people for the monsters they are (or were for those that are dead), I feel like you should have given the same treatment to the discographic label pushing against the denounces. It's arguably more important to remember those names.
@natmarelnam4871 No need to be hostile, especially when you add nothing to what I said. I wasn't saying it for myself, I obviously already care about it even without Kira bringing it up. But most people won't even google who they are because it was barely mentioned on a video focusing on one guy.
In his "apologies", we hear about the guilt he has felt and how he had felt sorry for a long time. All about what this did to him. What we do not hear from him is how he thought the 13- and 14-year-old girls who were his victims might have felt.
I have a sufficiently low opinion of internet celebrity culture that I can fully see him coming out of prison and making a big comeback like Ozzy serving out his ban for pissing on the Alamo.
I love the way he just didn’t see this coming. He did the whole ‘I’m gonna take time to learn and grow’ and ended up getting ten years in a federal penitentiary
lesson learned: keep all communication public and don't say anything you wouldn't say in front of a judge in a court of law. this is what we call "being a normal functioning adult".
I mean I wouldn't tell a judge that i want to get pegged silly but I can still say that to my girlfriend. Doesn't mean I'm not a normal fucntioning adult. Lol
This is something newer influencers and public figures try to follow (or at least more than they did before). Having private communications with fans is just a bad idea. There's been enough false allegations and confirmed cases of underaged fan exploitation to tell you that having direct fan communications like that is a horrible idea. Imagine how many people have been outed or accused for things they said on Discord or Twitter.
I don't know.... 10 years JUST for twerking videos seems a bit rough. I know it's inappropriate but surely that isn't anywhere near the level of actual noodes and CP.
@@ivanasukjadic1423 Kira censored the video to not get demonetized. If you look up the actual news reports or the court complaint, they all mention nudity, one of the messages sent to the girls says "prove how much of a fan are you and maybe I'll let you suck my ----". Even if no physical contact happened, the line was already crossed many miles over for it to be considered just "twerking video"
@@ivanasukjadic1423 Hard disagree. What makes you think he'd stop there? He very clearly wanted sexual gratification from those videos. He got caught early on, it absolutely would have gotten worse than that had he been allowed to continue this behavior. You don't ask teenagers to shake their bums for you as a "joke" It's actual grooming, and thankfully he was stopped before it turned into statutory rape. And it absolutely would have turned into that.
@@ivanasukjadic1423 No, he was arrested for childporn producing. He asked minors to make actual pornography videos and that probably not the first time he did it. He picked underaged kids especially, ranged from 13 to 15 years old. Buying and possessing childporn alone can make you in jail for 1 year. Producing childporn is an easy 10 years in prison.
the way i see it, 10 years is enough, because its not just 10 years he is getting, its also putting his name in "the list" which will basically make him unable to live near children. he will also probably not be allowed to use the internet again for years after. and lets not forget where he is going, so chances are, he will learn a good reason why he shouldnt do what he did, since just explaining with words isnt enough, i hope him "experiencing" it will give him some enlightment. of course, he probably wont learn anything, but i doubt he will have a career in anything after he leaves his new home.
Kira... did you have to make us watch him twerking? Why punish us like this? Are you mad at us?

I'm surprised they so boldly defending him when he on-camera admitted to serious crimes. Even if he downplayed more serious allegations, he still set himself up to get into criminal legal trouble.
@@flarestorm9417 Doesn't matter really. "Less evolved" people will never understand the seriousness of the situation if they glorify someone or something. Just look at religion through history. They burned children thinking they were witches. Every day it's the same thing today. People believe anything as long as it works with what they choose to believe in.
Back in the 60:s and 70:s it was pretty common for music stars to hang out with minor girls.
Austin: I was young and stupid.
Everyone: This was only a few months ago...
Austin: I WAS YOUNG!
I only know about this guy because of this scandal. It's absolutely disgusting behaviour, and the fact that there was an attempt to cover it up makes it all the worst. I hope it at least raises awareness among people when it comes to content creators with a fanbase consisting mostly of young, impressionable people. On the internet, it's just too easy for unhealthy relationships to form.
The thing is now that when he lands in the Penitenitary & they find out what he's in for he WILL quickly find out how's it's like to be how he treated those girls, only then will he find out the emotional distress he caused as he'll be passed arround like the good looking boy he's is, his life is going to be hell as it should just like the girls he abbused they'll have to think about it everyday just like that DOG...
@@tr1k716 He’ll be kept out of Gen pop. They tend to keep pedos out of gen pop specifically because they know what would happen to them. My husband has worked in several prisons and jails, including a max security, federal prison. He’s dealt with this a lot… Hopefully a guard lets some folks slip through to his room.
The very last part is what shocks me the most. These are the same kind of people that unironically stan serial killers because they're hot or something.
He's only sorry because he got CAUGHT, If he was sorry he'd have said sorry when it very first came out. He thought it'd soon blow over, how big his EGO was is insane, Also that boy's ass is going to be really famous, popular in the Pen !
@@tr1k716 Sorry but little of what you said here is coherent.

The court documents show that he actually solicited and received pictures from six different minors, not just four
As much as I want your claim to be true, I cannot find information confirming what you say.
Can you cite the source with a link? I appreciate it in advance.
@southerndiscomfort171 They want the claim to be true because it means some random guy is lying on the internet to say something that is not correct.

His haircut alone, tells you what he's after.
It's a back to the side and over the top comb-over.
Justin Bieber haircut 2010s
Those texts around 2:30ish said everything. Dude is super predatory.
Well damn I read the chat logs online. Shit is wild.
He literally said "while you bounce, smile at the camera and say 'I'm only 14' three times throughout the video".
bruh what the actual F. deeply disturbing.
I don't understand why he wasn't arrested for that haircut before.

I love that in Dead Island 2 they mock apology videos
the stuff that happened with deefizzy was insane. I remember all this because it happened the one year i was to attend warped tour (2015) - they had a program for social media stars to be on the tour in addition to the bands and Austin was set to be one of the youtubers in the lineup. Then the accusations blew up and it was a joke how warped tour handled it. Deefizzy was calling out his behavior and calling for him to be dropped from the tour and the head organizers of the tour were dead set on keeping austin on with rhetoric like “you want to hurt this promising young man’s reputation,” “you can’t get far in this industry if you’re this difficult to work with” etc etc. it caused such a big uproar that they ended up deciding to cancel the entire influencer lineup in order to punish deefizzy for speaking out and avoid backlash for keeping austin on. they ended up keeping the program and austin thankfully didn’t attend. It’s just crazy to me how in an attempt to protect 1 measly little predator they wanted to ruin it for everyone…
The amount of stories of underage girls and rock bands, Warped Tours trash attitude shouldn't be that surprising. Especially given pop-punks rep for it.
Hell, 2012 Warped Tour was one of Lost Prophets last live things before lead singer was arrested late that year for being a massive peodo
I heard Tyrone is making him sing in prison...
anyone seen twerking should automatically get at least 10 years
What strikes me as weird about it, is that, while I was in the navy, I saw strippers doing that crap more than thirty years ago...and all I knew about it, was that it wasn't appealing in the least; just looked like they had no idea what they were doing. I only found out a couple of years ago that it had a name, which really surprised me. To be honest, in the years that I went to such places, I only ever saw one exotic dancer who qualified as a dancer...the rest were just girls taking their clothes off. Man, that girl had class! The sort of act that you might see in a film about successful exotic dancers.
I agree tbh, it's unappealing and has no class lmao
@@vienle4089 It's all just "simulated sex" and that's why it's so unappealing. It's not a dance; it's a show of how easy you are. There's a reason it dominates one specific culture.
I first saw twerking when Miley Cyrus did it. It immediately turned me off from any depiction of the act that came after.
@@ForeverLaxx what culture does it dominate?
"He still has their heart" - here is a good place to remind people you don't need a belief in supernatural or God or anything similar in order to build a cult
Bit off topic, but I don't know how people can watch apology videos from anyone and actually feel like they're legitimate.
Thanks for the video Kira!
The only apology video that felt actually sincerer that I've seen was Jenna Marbles's video before she left TH-cam.
Everyone else is clearly them trying to save face.
I find them entertaining. It's like one of those pathetic scenes in American film/tv on steroids.
Most of us hear him a respond "Well he would say that"
If I was in a situation where I had to make one, it'd be very short and it would be less focused on "trust me, I'm sorry" and more on "I fucked up, I hope you'll see me do what I can to correct it in the future" No waterworks or droopy eyes.
Well, it's usually a bunch of ugly crying and excuses. And at worst it's a full mental breakdown. Some part of you might feel sorry to see that, but then you remember what these people did and that sympathy goes away. At best you're just kind of disgusted or freaked out.
But even then, that's not even what Austin Jones did. Maybe it's just the photos people use, but he always has that dead, dismissive look on his face. Even when he's recounting his sob story he looks like he's bored with the whole ordeal. The man looks like an evil rival to late 2000s/early 2010s Justin Bieber.
You know what they say about pedophiles in prison.
The irony that he's probably spent the last 4 years being forced to twerk by a large angry convict
Making him sing fefe by 69 but nicki minaj parts
No I think he bulked up
Imagine the other convicts being shown Austin Jones' twerk videos.
props to this disgusting actual cartoon character for incriminating himself by getting those people to basically say "You are actively committing a crime" over and over again in those videos
Text message crime? Authoritarian politicians are loving this shit, making tyranny so easy for them
Just imagine how many times he's had his back doors smashed in by the general prison population by now. I bet he regularly has to see the prison doctor for severe bottom injury's. He probably has to wear incontinence pants by now
this isn't really the place to share your fetishes
Yes, definitely that hairstyle does not allow him any forgiveness
the music industry is so shameful. the managers didnt give a fuck about him they just wanted the money from his tours.
Oh boy can't wait to be educated on a degenerate whom I had no idea even existed until now
I mean that sincerely
Heh... Yeah, same here :-)
maybe we'll learn about you too one day...
Try to understand him Jesus Christ he needs help we need to help him god humans fear what they don't understand have you ever heard that saying
@@perrycoffey5410 he wants kids to wink the bhole at him. That's weird AF and wrong
The way he said that grooming his fans was 'goofy' to this day sends me into a rage.
Austin Jones has the hair every Karen wants.
Him teaching those girls to twerk is the most cringe thing I've ever seen, not to undersell the illegality and immorality of it
One day were gonna see a video where Austin introduces his wife "hey all id like you to meet my wife, victim B"
Narcissists will always try to force you to see it their way.
You're a really gifted documentary film maker. :)
Never mind the young girls that havent got the capacity to appreciate what this guys is, theirs also a significant number of adult females that will defend these types viciously. I still can't get my head around that.
Adult men do it too my man
For most of human history, when an invading force defeated a city, town, nation, whatever - Women could choose to either willingly spread their legs or resist and be forced on or die.
Assuming women who didn't resist had their genes carried on more readily, and assuming some part of those genes carried on make them as treacherous as they are, it's not hard to understand why they do what they do.
As it is, the sexually liberated female population in western countries are congregating towards the top minority of men.
It's a dog eat dog world.
How'd I miss bootleg Justin Bieber? It's like Justin Bieber and MiniLadd fused into one horrible person. lol
He'll be out in 4 more years around 2027.

Apology videos never work. They just never feel sincere. It's like u type into chatgbt and it gives you a prompt with all the key phrases to say and repeat and emphasize for dramatic effect.
They all just make the guilty party seem worse

@@spookyfloyd3326 Sir, go home, I think you're drunk

Apology videos are not being sorry for what they did, they are sorry that they did not hide it better and will work harder to not get caught again.
That haircut alone is a crime
The fact that he's going to be released in a few years is pretty scary
a nice throw of a brick can solve this!
Its okay , there are people out there who could like a private twerk show from him
The Austin Jones incident feels far longer ago than it actually was. It's weird.
He will still have to be legally required to inform everybody he meets that he's a sex offender.

If he'd talked to a lawyer maybe they could have told him he was already admitting to grooming. *shrug*
@@CAHSR2020 I think even his lawyer was disgusted and refused to take his case.
10 years is the sentence,
his survival on the other hand... you know... prison rule.
i was friends with him back in the day had him on kik i knew something was wrong with him when he would ask me to retweet his music on twitter and i would say “no” he just kept pushing for me to do it lol
Why would you do something that absolutely is guaranteed to get you caught? That leaves a trail of unimpeachable evidence. It's like burglarizing house and leaving his driver's license on the kitchen table.
Jesus making them say their age is wild. Its like from joe dirt "im your cousin, im your cousin "
The last 10 seconds of this video is the best summary as to why this world is so incredibly messed up you could ever ask for, people know the horrendous things he did, and still like and respect him anyways
What a damn fool, he had more that a lot of us could possibly dream in life, and yet he threw everything into the trash trough despicable actions.
Proof that some people will never be satisfied with what they have, they’ll always want more and in the end, even abandon themselves to their most depraved desire.
It's 2024...this goddamn monster is about to get out of jail in the next year or so (assuming he hasn't already been released).
Sad that fans would admit that he's done terrible things but 'he still has their heart.' Why? What in his character would any of these people actually know about to redeem such disgusting things? WTF is wrong with people??
They're kids. Kids don't understand the serious consequences of grooming or ephebophilia. Often, the victims of these perpetrators don't have a stable home life, which makes it easier for them to latch on to an idol or just about anyone that makes them feel wanted. You also need to remember that grooming was not talked about often back then
The "fans" are children, they do not know better!
@@donniev8181 Seems like an issue with the parents then, too, eh?
And I think they're old enough to realize that when a person takes advantage of minors, they're not to be trusted. Very young children are old enough to know that - let alone teens.
@@dlr_rosa254 That may be, but the age of the commenter he quoted was not provided. I'd like to think that, with a little simple reflection, knowing that a person got 10 years in prison for violating minors would be enough to cause even a very young person to second-guess 'giving their heart out.' But maybe that's just wishful thinking.
@@mattjohnson8585 some kids are not wise to the world at 13, yes its partially the parents responsibility but the blame falls square onto the pedo. I grew up in a Christian home and i can guarantee you that my little sister was not wise on the things of this world at 13. We need to quit attempting to blame the victims and blame the people that caused the situation, the pedo. If pedos were dealt with in today's society the way God tells us to deal with them then a lot less creeps would be going after innocent children.
I can assure you he changed his hairstyle within the first week of his sentence. I mean what the hell is that anyways? Looks like he's bald and doing the ultimate comb-over.
holy crap, look at that hair. I'm calling it, he was given 10 years for that hair. The whole industry protecting him is typical. Child stars have said this and have been called crazy and were not allowed to act anymore. The two Coreys (Haim and Feldman) come to mind. If you look at their histories both came out talking about abuse before they were 'caught' doing smack, ruining their carriers and from then on no one believed them. These were rich influential kids and still no one believed them about the abuse done by older men in the industry.
Honestly I need to know the story behind his hair oml
He got caught.. and did not stop..He is at the bottom of the mounting now..
I was hoping his singing was just so bad they sent him to prison for ten years…
Hello Scott!
@@CainXVII Hello Cain XVII
5 more years left…
While I appreciate remembering these people for the monsters they are (or were for those that are dead), I feel like you should have given the same treatment to the discographic label pushing against the denounces. It's arguably more important to remember those names.
@natmarelnam4871 No need to be hostile, especially when you add nothing to what I said. I wasn't saying it for myself, I obviously already care about it even without Kira bringing it up. But most people won't even google who they are because it was barely mentioned on a video focusing on one guy.
At first I thought he was apologizing for that haircut
im glad that even when he does get out of prison, he can never scrub the internet of his twerking videos. what a creep
How in the world did he only get 10 years? That seems pretty lenient…
TH-camrs and politicians bot have the same apology 🤣🤣
In his "apologies", we hear about the guilt he has felt and how he had felt sorry for a long time. All about what this did to him. What we do not hear from him is how he thought the 13- and 14-year-old girls who were his victims might have felt.
I bet they loved that haircut in prison, bet he has lots of 'fans' in there.
No guilt in those eyes, insincerity and contrived facial expressions.
👍💯Exactly
@@chasehedges6775 Yup.
💯
He should be jailed for that stoopid haircut. And even before I found out what he did he looked to me like the apology was a lie
I have a sufficiently low opinion of internet celebrity culture that I can fully see him coming out of prison and making a big comeback like Ozzy serving out his ban for pissing on the Alamo.
Thankyou for putting #kira in the tags, I wouldn't have known it was your video otherwise.
The worst part is that his fans are still saying "what he did was bad but he still has their heart "
That's willful ignorance.
3:18 look at the bright side, his new friends will love that he already knows how to twerk...
😂😂😂😂
I love the way he just didn’t see this coming. He did the whole ‘I’m gonna take time to learn and grow’ and ended up getting ten years in a federal penitentiary
He decided to take ten years to learn and grow. Or rather the court system gave him 10 years to learn and grow in a very secure rehab center.
I'm pretty sure he's getting passed around in prison
Barber: What style would you like?
Austin: All of them...
It’s well documented people who have bird nests in their hair tend to be nefarious
Exactly. Just look at Miss Crabtree from South Park
Old story but it should definitely stay active. Great vid
lesson learned: keep all communication public and don't say anything you wouldn't say in front of a judge in a court of law. this is what we call "being a normal functioning adult".
I mean I wouldn't tell a judge that i want to get pegged silly but I can still say that to my girlfriend. Doesn't mean I'm not a normal fucntioning adult. Lol
@A Partyhat I haven’t laughed this hard at a comment in a very long time. Thank you for posting this.
@@PartyhatRSsaying that with confidence, absolute respect to you sir lmao
This is something newer influencers and public figures try to follow (or at least more than they did before). Having private communications with fans is just a bad idea. There's been enough false allegations and confirmed cases of underaged fan exploitation to tell you that having direct fan communications like that is a horrible idea. Imagine how many people have been outed or accused for things they said on Discord or Twitter.
@@PartyhatRS Yes it does.
I've met many people with traumatic upbringings and they weren't predatory towards children. His non-apology portrayed himself as the victim.
10 years is not enough, he's gonna find a way to do the same as soon as he gets out. I'm sure his mother is proud of him.
I don't know.... 10 years JUST for twerking videos seems a bit rough. I know it's inappropriate but surely that isn't anywhere near the level of actual noodes and CP.
@@ivanasukjadic1423 Kira censored the video to not get demonetized.
If you look up the actual news reports or the court complaint, they all mention nudity, one of the messages sent to the girls says "prove how much of a fan are you and maybe I'll let you suck my ----".
Even if no physical contact happened, the line was already crossed many miles over for it to be considered just "twerking video"
@@ivanasukjadic1423 Hard disagree. What makes you think he'd stop there? He very clearly wanted sexual gratification from those videos. He got caught early on, it absolutely would have gotten worse than that had he been allowed to continue this behavior. You don't ask teenagers to shake their bums for you as a "joke"
It's actual grooming, and thankfully he was stopped before it turned into statutory rape. And it absolutely would have turned into that.
@@ivanasukjadic1423 No, he was arrested for childporn producing. He asked minors to make actual pornography videos and that probably not the first time he did it. He picked underaged kids especially, ranged from 13 to 15 years old. Buying and possessing childporn alone can make you in jail for 1 year. Producing childporn is an easy 10 years in prison.
the way i see it, 10 years is enough, because its not just 10 years he is getting, its also putting his name in "the list" which will basically make him unable to live near children. he will also probably not be allowed to use the internet again for years after.
and lets not forget where he is going, so chances are, he will learn a good reason why he shouldnt do what he did, since just explaining with words isnt enough, i hope him "experiencing" it will give him some enlightment.
of course, he probably wont learn anything, but i doubt he will have a career in anything after he leaves his new home.
You know what's insane? The reupload of his twerking tutorial is marked as "FOR KIDS"
