Youtube star Austin Jones pleads guilty to producing child pornography after forcing minors to send him explicit videos
Popular Youtube star Austin Jones faces at least five years in prison after he coerced girls as young as 14 to strip and make sexually explicit videos for him
26-year-old singer and YouTube star Austin Jones faces at least five years in federal prison after pleading guilty on Friday to coercing six underage female fans to send him sexually explicit videos.
Jones, in his 27-page plea agreement, admitted that he had online conversations with six 14- and 15-year-old girls between 2010 and 2017. In these conversations, he also encouraged the girls to send him sexually explicit videos of themselves 'twerking'.
Court documents posted online detail the allegations against Jones in a report from a Homeland Security Special Agent. The documents allege that Jones sent numerous messages to the girls in which he instructed them to expose their genitals in videos sent to him through Facebook.
