We admire them -- we watch them daily -- we revel in their lives, their vlogs, and their
dating history -- but YouTubers are human AND definitely make mistakes.
Some slightly worse than others.

Went To Jail.

a few of your comments.
Let’s jump in.
5 Charles Ross We’re going to start with a somewhat funny
one here -- considering this list gets real dark, real fast.
In 2013, YouTube prankster Charles Ross -- who has garnered over a million subscribers on
his controversial channel -- decided to take things to a higher and much more personal
level.
It was outside of a movie theatre in Florida that Charles that it appropriate to film himself
giving strangers wedgies -- yes -- wedgies.
However, one victim of the pranksters pressed charges against the YouTuber resulting in
his arrest.
He spent the night in jail and was released the next day on a $750 dollar bond.
However -- not too long later in 2017 -- Charles was once again arrested for stealing stop
signs, which as we know could have resulted in a lot of fatalities, so putting this guy
away is a blessing for us all.
4 Matthew Cordle On September 3rd 2013, Matthew Cordle received
over 3 million views on his small YouTube channel -- quickly becoming the most popular
video had uploaded.
Now -- the subject matter was what drew in his audience -- and it’s the subject matter
that got him arrested.
In the video titled “I killed a man” Cordle confesses to killing a man while driving drunk.
He was ultimately arrested and pleaded guilty to the crime which took place on June 22nd,
he was sentenced to six and a half years in prison and has a lifetime driving ban.
3 Kandee Johnson Kandee Johnson is a popular beauty guru on
YouTube with nearly 4 million subscribers on her constantly growing channel.
However -- back in 2010 Kandee was faced with two criminal charges -- child endangerment
and refusal to put her son in middle school.
The first occured while she was on a business trip in LA, leaving her 12 year old son home
alone to fend for himself.
Police that arrived at her house noted that it was almost unlivable -- with plates and
food covering nearly all of the surfaces.
Kandee pleaded guilty to both charges and was locked in the slammer for 90 days.
However -- to top things off, Kandee asked her fans to pay for her court fees -- and
many believe the money she asked for was far more than she needed -- although this is unconfirmed.
Though her channel is successful she lost a lot of fans and subscribers due to her criminal
charges and scamming her fans out of thousands.
2 Trey Eric Sesler A Youtuber with the name lenscapproductions
-- a channel focusing on anime and videogames -- was arrested on March 20th 2012 after police
discovered his family had been brutally slain in their home.
His mother, father, and brother from Waller Texas were shot multiple times by Sesler -- and
writing was discovered all over the walls -- sighting his love for his family and god.
Following his arrest he admitted to the police that, I quote, “He didn’t want them to
know about his upcoming Columbine inspired massacre”.
Disgusting.
Trey was charged with capital murder and has been serving a life sentence since August
2012.
1 Elliot Rodger Now, this one is slightly cheating considering
the YouTuber didn’t go to prison -- but if he were still alive he would certainly
be locked up for life with no possibility of parole.
On May 23rd 2014, Elliot Rodger killed six people and injured fourteen in Isla Vista
California.
The attacks only ending when Elliot killed himself inside of his vehicle near the University
of California campus.
The attack began when he took a knife to three men in his apartment -- killing them all.
Following that he drove to a sorority house -- however -- he failed to gain access -- resulting
in him shooting three women outside -- two of which died.
He then drove by a deli, shooting one man inside -- he then went on a shooting spree
killing any pedestrians he could find around the Isla Vista area.
In the final showdown Elliot exchanged gunfire with police -- he was recieved a non - fatal
gunshot wound to the hip -- he then drove his car to a parking lot and shot himself
in the head.
After the first attack occurred inside of the apartment -- Elliot uploaded a video to
YouTube titled “Elliot Rodger’s Retribution” -- in it he discussed his attack and his motives,
and that he wished to punish women for rejecting him.
Well there we have it!
What did you guys think?
Were there any YouTube criminals that we missed?
Leave us all of your thoughts and feelings in the comments down below and perhaps we
can do a part 2.
Before I go though, I just want to read a few comments from one of our last videos “Top
5 Scenes That Were Cut From Horror Movies Because They Were Too Scary”
Jennifer Perkins said “OMG...who are these people writing the scripts and directing these
movies.
Time for a psych evaluation” Jennifer, I couldn’t agree more.
An evaluation is definitely needed especially for all those who had any role in the Human
Centipede franchise.
That shit is fucked.
EclecticPkm said “Lucy, really enjoy when you narrate a video, keep bringing us all
great content” Well thank you!
I’m a big lover of all things horror, so I’m glad you’re appreciating the work.
Captain Con Queso said “If you feel the need to include a rape scene in your movie
to “splice it up” you’re not writing a good movie” Right there with you.
Unless it’s pivotal for the narrative there is no reason to include it and certainly no
reason for audiences to be made to watch.
I think that’s a good place to leave it!
