I dont go on a dates with a minors and not interested in it, you acting like in the first comment i said something opposite to what i'm saying now. Also my gf is legal.
People tend to forget that the elderly weren't always elderly. It's easy to cast them off as kind, old and seemingly innocent due to how fragile they appear.
I can't help but think of how the victim would feel, imagine being sexually assaulted and not only does your abuser get out of jail, he's treated like a sweet old man by the internet. I'm glad this came out but it sucks he got this far.
Not only was the boy 14 while he was 38, but he was volunteering to help juveniles who were already struggling. He's a true predator, they always go where there is vulnerable prey.
imagine having the strength to testify against your abuser, only for them to get off so easily and then become such a well-liked person later on… absolutely devastating and sickening. i know stuff like this happens, but that doesn’t change the way it’s still so horrible and shocking.
I know,I still occasionally think about all those women who were sexually abused by Trump and Biden and how they must feel these days as well as what they have to go through.
This literally happened to me. I was raped by a co worker and everyone sided with him, and they wouldn’t take it to millitary court because it happened overseas and there “wasn’t enough evidence”, “your word against his”. I lost so many friends because he was so well liked. I’m still in therapy for this, it happened 6 years ago.
Whenever a child predator gets out of their punishment, people need to look into the judge. The amount that turn out to be fellow predators. Way too many judges over the years have been discovered with CP on in their possession.
Always wondered if it’s that people who get into high ranking positions are often pedo’s themselves and want control of others because of it (hence why they go for a job with a “high rank) or if getting into a high ranking position in society exposes you to new things that lead you down a rabbit hole. Either way, sick and twisted.
That's a good point. But when they get out on technicalities it's because of sloppy police work getting confessions or something. I think in this case it was the verbiage in the sentencing, so maybe this was a judge lending a helping hand
It's the same with drunk drivers. Both the judge who ruled no restitution was to be paid, and the DA who didn't push for any $ or punishment, had DUIs within a few years of my case. A slap on the wrist is all they got, just like they gave the guy who's 7th felony conviction ruined my life in every possible way. No matter an young innocent woman was made homeless, unable to work. I was permanently disabled with no support. And ofc the acute & chronic pain I'm in isn't treated because o piates are now the devil, since the ppl in charge prefer alcohol, the most destructive drug in the world. And as a victim of 2 rapes and also child abuse, none of the ppl who did any of it paid the price. Justice doesn't really exist.
exactly!!! im sensing some sketchiness in that prosecution. Too many so called "public defendants" i.e: judges, prosecutors etc have all been exposed an we are seeing more and more come to light which is good.
The worst part is the lack of remorse he shows. His whole response video was about how he totally owned the justice system on a technicality, trying to downplay his crimes
Its so disgusting how common it is for well-respected individuals to turn out like this. Edit: And YES I am aware Featureman was a predator even years before he was exposed.
I never got to hear about that guy, sadly. It's too bad the "become famous and be attracted to children" cycle is that big. If I was a fan of his content or even knew about it, I would be shocked by this news. Also I love your content dude :)
"A neglected teenage boy, who was kept in child haven three years ago because of neglect told a district court jury tuesday that a volunteer juvenile court worker forced a homosexual relationship on him three times" Not only is he a child rapist, but he used a position of power to get access to children, and he did it three times.
@@adamgerald849 no its common for predators to choose jobs with children not the other way round. Please do not vilify everyone that choose to work with children. 😅
@@adamgerald849 I hope what you meant to say was working with children is really common among predators 💀 Violent crime is most often committed by black people. Are most black people violent criminals? 🤔
He got off because a second victim testified against him in the trial. It was in law that you can’t convict someone for one crime just because they committed a different crime as that would be prejudice from the jury, so the second victim’s testimony was inadmissible. That means someone relived a trauma on the stand to get their attacker convicted, and then got told that their testimony was the very reason the attacker is walking free.
That... is horrible. That poor victim. I would be absolutely crushed and distraught. The legal system is a joke sometimes. I would know. I've been through it. My case got dismissed because of "lack of evidence." They had DNA, texts, bruises on my body, records of hospital visits, et cetera. I'm convinced the USA justice system is skewed toward the perpetrators of sex crimes rather than providing the survivors their justice.
It shows the true horror of predators. They can literally be anyone, and often times are people you least suspected. What makes it worse is that he remained free all this time and even had RUclips fame due to his false persona.
Worst part is, it's common for RUclips people to make up their masked personalities, all you need is to sound confident and nobody will ever know that you like teenage girls
This is why, as a dad, I assume you never really know anyone. And my kid’s innocence is way too high of a price to pay for trusting someone, or not being rude, or being “overly” cautious. I don’t care who it is, or what anyone says, I’ll be the bad guy in order to make sure my kids are never put in a situation where someone can take advantage of them. There is no “fool me once” with shit like this.
It's risky. Never trusting anyone leads to a bland life for parent and child. It's important to be realistic, but there is a point where being overly cautious is harmful
People don’t understand that people that are genuinely dangerous predators are usually super charismatic. You’re most likely not gonna be creeped out by them, there’s definitely outliers but they’re usually *really* good at hiding what they are. Lots of survivors or serial killers like Bundy when asked why they got in a car with a stranger said something like “he was a nice, charming, good looking guy that didn’t seem dangerous.”
I can speak of experience that the way some predators behave around kids make you think that that kind of person is the best to have around children, calming them, acting like a dad, generally caring about them, they know what they are doing, thats why cases like these are unexpected, and why many predators come from close family proximity
I wouldn't say usually.... the majority of predators are low functioning antisocials. There are higher functioning, and more manipulative people that are definitely more concerning though.
Really cold take: thinking that people are dumb to feel disappointed that someone they liked turned out to be a bad person. It's not about them being a celebrity- it would feel just as bad if they were a friend or even acquaintance. It sucks to find out someone you liked/associated with has done really bad things, period.
Happened to me. Found out my best friend got caught with CP on his computer. I was sexually abused by my father as a kid (well respected man), so finding out that he did that, on top of know what happened to me, re-traumatizing. I later found out that sometimes predators like to befriend people who have prior history of being sexually abused. They are that fucking evil, but the real mindfuck is out of anybody in my entire life. Nobody ever took better care of me than he did, so yeah I’m pretty destroyed.
This. The only way you could void feeling sad or disappointed when something like this happens, is to have expected it from the beginning. And imagine finding out your friend had assumed you were a predator and been waiting for it in order to not be disappointed..
Nearly every time someone reports on one of these "popular" RUclipsrs turning out to be a creep or freak, I never know who these people are. However the waves they make afterwards and the pain they caused is very notable. I'm sorry for the victims in this
Is this the same guy that went viral for the same niche around 2020? Just listened to him talk and it’s not. Other dude I’m thinking of has a higher almost Mr. Herbert voice. Someone please help me out here lol
I was once at the laundromat and saw an old man, a veteran, in a wheelchair, struggling to do his laundry. I decided to help him. He was so sweet an jolly. Then as the evening progresses, he told many war stories that mostly were about the brotherhood with his military comrades. In the middle of the story, he quickly glossed over a detail in a story about hanging out at the local VFW where he said “me and my buddies tied the local barfly to a tree and we all took turns having our way with her, some people call that rape, I call it a good time”. He continued on talking and I was left just disgusted and I kept helping him with his laundry but I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Just because someone is old and helpless doesn’t mean they’re a good person.
I hope you’re not a woman. I can’t imagine someone just casually talking about group sexual assault like it was “just a good ol time with me an the boys” I would’ve told him to rot in piss. Some people don’t deserve to live for so long
Anymore? Tf it's always been like that. Do u not know how Ted Bundy, Jeffery dahmer & ed gien & much more serial killers from back in the day? This isn't nothing new
Well to be fair it is also on the viewer to avoid parasocial relationships and getting too invested into people they don’t know. You should always be careful to avoid thinking you “know and love” Internet personalities too much
Now imagine that guy being your grandpa and you finding out as an adult, because that's what happened to me haha. My grandfather also never faced any charges or anything and our family never seemed to protect or even care about the victims. Man, I hate this.
I feel so bad for the victim. They literally were abused by this man and needed the courage to testify against him only for him to be free from jail and become a loved RUclipsr in the community. I mean people looked up to him, saw him as a good guy only to discover he was a monster behind a mask. i can’t help but imagine what the victim and the people who used to watch him feel.
My heart goes out to the victim, but I can’t help but notice how robotic this comment sounds. Like it sounds like you asked chat gpt to write out a heartfelt response to the situation, and this is the result.
As someone who's lived through a similar situation as the survivor, you guys would be surprised how often this stuff ends with a slap on the wrist. It's frustrating that you go through so much and your own personal monster doesn't get punished. I truly hope the person who survived this man is doing well.
I’m a survivor too, all he got as a slap on the wrist despite being more than one victim. Me, 3 of my friends, and an entirely different set of kids we found out a bit while gathering as much evidence as we could. I testified in court, and he didn’t even go to jail. Fuck that system for letting shitfucks like that free.

Man that sucks I really liked watching his show and listening to some of his old stories. I always wondered why he was living in such a humble home and eating such humble food
He's not just a RUclipsr, he's had a whole career as an actor. He was in 90 episodes of the sitcom Dear John and has appeared in dozens of other shows, including variety shows & game shows as well as having minor roles in over 100 well known movies(Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Beaches, Stripes, Naked Gun, etc.) He's been doing his acting and comedy act since the 70's and has been featured on several talk shows including Johnny Carson.

@@MegaVega2007 People aren't born with paraphilias. Paraphilias most often spawn from trauma, and they can be worked on in therapy. There is no excuse for not getting help when you have one, especially when you suspect you are potentially dangerous to other people
@@cheeseobsession4122 I didn’t say that as an excuse. I agree with you. We don’t exactly know how paraphilias are developed. I don’t see the difference between it being destined at birth or caused by childhood trauma, my point was it’s completely out of the persons control. Not like they woke up one day and decided to have that illness. You can control it, that’s your obligation, to get help. The consequence for violating any laws against kids should be the harshest possible. But you said they should just “not like kids”, the point isn’t them liking kids, it IS hard for them to not like kids, the point for them is to get help
@@MegaVega2007 100% agree. People can go the full nurture route and I definitely lean towards that, but sometimes I look at nature, too. Sometimes they grow up completely fine just to be kid diddlers all the same. And both types of people-- traumatized and not into their paraphilia-- are absolutely arrested by their attraction. Moreover than the others, like necrophiliacs or the like. Pedophiles are a very special kind of evil, inside and out.
These type of events where youtubers are actually predators or pedophiles are becoming such a common occurrence, it is almost like saying the sky is blue.
Thanks for the info. Case citation: Willett v. State 584 P.2d (1978). Appears he was convicted, given a suspended sentence. On appeal the Nevada Supreme Court upheld the conviction.
this is crazy. i met this guy a few years ago. i worked on his roof. after i finished the job he very enthusiastically showed me his piano and his studio and his youtube videos. this was close to 10 years ago so it was kind of novel and weird at the time, for such an old guy to be on youtube. me and my roommate would watch featureman videos and kind of speculate on his life. the classic videos i can barely remember but recently i remember one where he made a beef stew with elbow macaroni in it and just ate it right out of the pot, we laughed and speculated maybe he was a sweet old retiree who didn’t want to bother washing a bowl. but damn, this is so crazy to hear ole featureman was like this…. my roommate texted me last night and said did you hear about featureman? and i instantly thought, oh no! did he die? but no i guess he’s just evil fuck
@@jonathonwright525 what proof do you have that he's lying? It's sad that you think somebody would make that up. It's not Brad Pitt he's talking about, it's some old pervert, why would he lie?
Predators are WAY too common. It's shocking. It's so dreadful to see somebody that you once perceived as wholesome turns out to be a monster. Edit: Take a little peek at the comments.
Literally every male celebrity, famous historical figure, and politician that I have ever admired turned out to be a rapist. "Not every man" yes of course but way, way too many. It really does damage your ability to trust ppl, especially men, especially if you've had sexual trauma yourself. It really starts to wear down your psyche. (Dont anyone @ me with "its women too" I know it happens but the vast majority is men thats just fact)
You can thank some anime and high school shows that are meant to be for adults for normalizing it 👍🏽 as well how these disgusting groups thriving on discord and Reddit/other websites like that 🤮😡
This is sad man, I’d check on his content every now and then and always looked at him as a wholesome grandpa making food videos and telling stories of his past, this was one he definitely has failed to mention 😭
I thought of him the same way and wondered why he was alone in old age. I knew something must have gone wrong but figured he had like addict kids or something. Turns out he’s the problem.
This is soo saddening. The fact that there are still people like this roaming around social media apps is a shame. Hope the people affected get their justice
When the ones in power (whom coincidentally are also friends with the ones who write and pass legislation) are predators this is what you get. They protect their own.
As someone who was sexually assault by an old man when I was 11. It felt truly disgusting and It still haunts me to this day. These people need to be imprisoned. Regardless if they're old or not
This stuff is horrendous for a kid to go through Ik what it’s like and how it makes the mind different from people who don’t experience these things. I’m here with you man but we just gotta find the things in life that bring us joy 🖤
This has actually broken my heart. I loved Featureman, he warmed my heart and made me think of fond memories of my grandfather. What an absolute shame. I am infinitely sorry for his victims and hope justice is somehow brought to him.
I remember watching his fried bologna video and thinking “this is wholesome enough.” Seemed like a genuinely nice old man. This is insane and absolutely disgusting!
The Hog Rider is a fast ground troop with medium hit points, low damage, and the ability to jump over enemy Walls. He is unlocked at level 2 Dark Barracks. The Hog Rider (person) is a bare-chested dark-skinned man holding a hammer. He has a Mohawk, wears a brown leather loincloth, a red belt, and a pair of leather sandals, as well as two large golden wristbands and a gold earring. His ride is a large hog, about half his height. It has a brown leather bridle looped around its tusks, which in turn is held by the Hog Rider. Hog Riders prioritize defensive structures above all other targets, and will bypass all other types of enemy buildings and troops while any defenses remain on the battlefield. This is true even if they are under attack by enemy Clan Castle troops, heroes or Skeleton Trap skeletons. Note that like all troops that prioritize defenses, Hog Riders do not consider the Clan Castle to be a defense regardless of whether or not it contains enemy troops, but do consider the defending Grand Warden and the activated Town Hall weapon (if any) to be defensive buildings. Once all defenses are destroyed, Hog Riders become like any other troop with no preferred target; they will attack the nearest building to them regardless of type, and will turn and attack enemy units if they become aware of any nearby Strategy Offensive He can be used to jump over any level Walls, rendering them ineffective against Hog Riders. Note that while this allows Hog Riders free access to what lies behind the Walls, it does not open up gaps for other troops to move through. If the Hog Riders need the support of other ground troops, you will still need to deploy Wall Breakers, a Jump Spell, or Earthquake Spells in order to assist them. Hog Riders can be used en masse, i.e. a “Hog Rider Rush”, without requiring any Wall Breakers to break Walls. However, such a strategy can be costly in terms of Dark Elixir, and sports weaknesses against defending Clan Castle troops, Heroes, Giant Bombs, and Skeleton Traps, a problem which only becomes more prominent at higher levels. At Town Hall 10 and above, Hog Riders can be combined with Miners in a strategy known as Hog Miner or Hybrid. Both troops are able to bypass Walls innately, but Miners do not have a preferential target, allowing them to cover for Hog Riders by dealing with defending Heroes and Skeleton Traps. The combination also has weaknesses against flying Clan Castle troops, as neither are able to target air. At lower levels, Hog Riders are quite capable of acting as distracting troops like Giants; they have nearly as much health as a similar-level Giant, move twice as fast, and do considerably more damage. They work well with the Healing Spell when you group several of them together. A good tactic for using Healing Spells is to place them strategically on a cluster of defenses (at least about 3 or more) and also deploy them shortly before the Hog Riders arrive in the area, deploy them in front of the Hog Riders. This is so that the Hog Riders get the most value out of the Healing Spell, and destroy the defenses without losing too much HP. Spots where Giant Bombs or Bomb Towers are/may be should be given special attention when deploying Healing Spells. Hogs of the same level as the Giant Bomb will survive a single Giant Bomb, but they’re helpless against a pair of Giant Bombs even with a Healing Spell. Heal them after they’ve gone through a Giant Bomb blast. The Hog Rider is one of the best troop types for drawing out Clan Castle troops, as it can avoid Walls to penetrate deep enough to reach centrally-placed Clan Castles (and enough health to not die before it gets there). Deploy one or a few to trigger the Clan Castle troops, then lure the reinforcement troops to the corner side, and deploy multiple Archers or Wizards to slaughter them, and then deploy the remainder of your Hog Riders. This strategy is especially effective during Clan War raids. However, Skeletons from the Skeleton Trap and Heroes can also easily kill the Hog Riders, as they can only target defenses, so make sure to have some troops that target anything, such as Wizards, which can swipe out the Skeletons. Hog Riders don’t target air so flying Clan Castle troops, especially Dragons, can be a big threat. Most mass Hog Rider strategies in Clan Wars require that the Clan Castle troops be killed first by luring. Bring other troops in addition to Hog Riders, such as Wizards, to deal with enemy Clan Castle troops and clean up the base.
As a teenager in the seventies, old guys were always creepy to me and my best friend, we were astonished and surprised to watch an old creep back-grab a 10yr old girls backside as she passed by with her parents, it didn’t go unpunished either, we were not alone in witnessing this foul action and it ended up with a lot of pushing and shoving and a couple of guys much older than myself giving him a hiding.
IT'S LITERALLY EASIER THAN BREATHING. Wait actually let's assess this. Breathing requires you to suck in air and then breathe it out. It also requires your airways not to be blocked, your lungs not being obstructed or infected too much, and it requires you to be alive. Not being a predator means that you simply be a good person. In fact, you don't even have to be a good person not to be a predator. And it only requires your attractions to be normal. Easy as that.
a lot of them can't help it anymore than you can't help not being a predator. some were born that way and some were made to be that way. they are symptoms of society and nature and no matter what predators prey on there is no excuse for it.
i remember a story my mom told me. back in the late 80's...she and her friends would play outside in the summer, she had an elderly neighbor who was a ww2 marine and collected war figures. one day, it was a hot day and he asked her and her friends if they wanted popsicles. they agreed (they were 7-9) and went inside his house to get them, once they got the popsicles..he asked if they wanted to see his war figurines, they replied yes and followed him. but my mom stopped at the bottom of the stairs and knew something was wrong, she quickly grabbed her friends and said "no" and ran back outside. please be careful everyone.
This is actually the first time one of these stories hit hard. I'd always watch him with my dad and the rest of my family loved him except my mom which was always the joke. I actually can't believe this
in nature, mothers with small offspring are hardwired to watch for predators. you can't argue with 60+ million years of evolution. also, you owe your mother an apology. the rest of the family was admiring the tiger's beautiful orange and black coat, she saw it's teeth and claws.
I actually screamed because I’ve been watching him for years. I’ve always thought of him as a wholesome grandpa. I’m in disbelief seeing his face in one of Charlie’s videos. This is heart breaking to me
i genuinly have no idea why he didn't go the "i made a mistake" route, it's been long enough to where it could be concievably forgiven instead he took the fattest L possible by doubling down
I was even his friend on Facebook. I used to screenshot every time he would comment or like one of my posts. I thought he was the coolest old man in the world. So wholesome. I cannot wrap my head around this. It doesn’t make sense. What the fuck.
@@fortnitesexman could he have been forgiven? I don't know, people are more hard pressed on predators than on murderers so yeah he wouldn't have been forgiven also have you seen any predators willingly saying they were predators? That's what i thought
@@walutin7675 it’s the fact that he was a child predator that thought he could get away with it Scott free. Therefore, he only “addressed” it because he was caught. He would still be in prison as of now if his team did not catch the flaw in the laws wording.
As an individual that was victim of a similar crime, I am at least lucky enough that the individual will never be out of prison, but the poor lad that has had no justice for this is just heart breaking.
You're actually one of the lucky ones. Rarely does it even get them out of working with kids for more than a year apparently. The guy who abused multiple kids in our town when I was in elementary school had prior charges, got to work with kids again and then got probation, got to change his name and move somewhere else.
Man you're so lucky. Sucks for the victims that fell for 'Featureman', hope they're living well. This brings me back to a case I heard from my high school Native American teacher. In the 80s when she was an elementary student and lived on a reservation, she remembered that one of the police officers who worked at the reservation was arrested and charged for SA'ing two minors (both girls) at her school. From what she knows, the reason this memory stuck with her was that one of her friends was the daughter of the police officer, and the police officer was renowned at the school many times as a great dude who got along with the students well (yeah self-explanatory after what I just typed before). Because of the laws at the time, alongside her living in a reservation (reservations to this day have seperate laws to the state that they are in, making court very complicated, unsolvable, and sometimes even undocumented. For real look up the amount of missing persons cases on reservations, its insane what crimianls can exploit nowadays). From what she said, the police officer got some time in prison, but was eventually released shortly for unknown reasons. The police officer decided to change his identity and move out the reservation. Luckily she was not a victim of SA, but that must've been terrifying to know that their once renowned police officer at school was a child predator.
I’m 66 years young this week and to my shame I had no idea that so many of these sick predators are out there. I’ve lived under an illusion that everyone had the same mindset as myself and it never occurred to me that this filth is so prolific.
Why would you ever think that everyone thinks like you ? It makes no sense. Do you think of yourself as some prototype of the human race and everyone is modeled after you ? This is actually disturbingly simple minded or narcissistic. Why ? How did that make sense to you ? At any point ? How did you not figure it out earlier ? You went through your whole life, up to 66 years of age, thinking that everyone else had the same mindset as you ? This is mindboggling.
Well, that sounds like immaturity, and I suggest you grow up. Almost SEVENTY and still naive? You are not 66 years young, you are in REALITY, a senior citizen. I guess you never watched the news, read a newspaper, never noticed a damn thing.
Im sick of these creeps who claim they do this cuz it happened to them. If it happened to you why would you do it to another? You know first hand how awful it is.
@@Jesuslovesyou-nt8rfWhat makes it worse for the victims is that perverts use this excuse, and then it puts the victim in a position where they could be viewed as a future abuser. It's as ridiculous as someone being a victim of a burglary, and assuming they are going to become burglars. Or you have been mugged, so suddenly you are going to be a mugger. As anyone who has been a victim would attest they would rather those crimes happen to them, than be abused. To know how devastating it is, how vile, it is the very last thing you would ever dream of doing to anyone. He will soon face God, and as Jesus said, "it would be better to have a millstone tied around yoyr neck, and cast into the sea, than offend one of these little ones. A person's body literally explodes. He has not escaped justice, he is about to face it. He seems to be gloating, the opposite of repenting. I bet there are many more victims due to that technicality. It makes me so angry. Btw I love your username. God bless you.
@@jacquelineteale4937 so what happens when the monster becomes catholic so HE can feel better about what he was doing. Rub the ladies balls and he is forgiven but I the victim still suffer the memories and his verbal abuse through out the years because he rub the ladies balls after each attack. So if he thinks he's forgiven NOT BY ME BUT BY HIS CATHOLIC GOD will he still get punished after he dies? Curious.
Even more infuriating that he was posing as a helpful volunteer at homes for troubled youth, and as a volunteer for the Juvenile Detention department. He was specifically seeking out troubled kids, kids who didn’t have families to turn to for support, kids who had fallen through the cracks. True pr3dat0r behavior.
Today feels super weird, I watched Tom for the past year and loved his wholesome content. I feel incredibly betrayed and VERY bad for his victims since he essentially just got to go on with his life virtually unscathed with a successful youtube channel. I guess it just proves that a viewer never truly knows the person on the other end of the camera. Thanks for covering this Charlie.
For those who still don't understand how Tom avoided conviction: the prosecution used the testimony of Tom's other victim to illustrate his tendencies and clear intent to commit a crime. According to the letter of the law, they should only rely on the facts of the case, i.e. the testimony of the child victim without the context of the testimony of other victims. This is to avoid a situation in which the defendant is convicted for his overall character and not for the act for which he was charged. Thus, he was able to win the appeal because there were more victims than one.
That's ridiculous, it would make sense if it was a different crime type altogether like robbing or something so they were trying to talk about his character overall but if it's the same crime that should act as evidence he's done to his before
This is the third time I’ve heard this kind of story. A kind old man on RUclips, gaining a decent following, only to be exposed as having been a predator.
@@thesayerofthelaw Boyinaband is the one that sucked for me. Always thought he was the most wholesome, kindhearted guy. During his beef with Prince Ea, he was nothing short of a gentleman. Never thought he had any of what he was accused of in him. A part of me still holds out hope that it's not as bad as it sounded but that's almost always a vain hope.
I mean, for all we know he might be. Half a century of time would change most people. But in the end you can't look into people's heads and who they really are is something only they know.
People are ridiculous for idolising people they've never met just because they find them amusing or interesting. Just because you see some positive traits in someone in a few RUclips videos, does NOT mean you should idolise them or respect them anymore than you would anyone else in life. Treat people on RUclips like normal people - that's what they are. Just like normal people, some of them have flaws. And just like normal people, some of them turn out to be horrible.
Another lesson guys. Everyone has their secrets (some worse than others). Don't EVER let yourself fall into a false state of thinking you know someone if the only time you ever see them is through a screen. Even Charlie here. No offence Charlie. But don't ever believe for a second any of you actually can say that you feel like you know Charlie on a personal level if you don't actually know him in real life and live with him.
i have literally never heard of this man, but I am sorry for any former fans of him :( I know how this feels. I felt the same with cryaotic, so I hope you all feel better.
I remember watching two videos by this guy. On the first video he creeped me out, and the second one i quit after about 30 seconds. Young viewers who had never been exposed to predatory misuse by adults have no "Spidey senses" to alarm them. Mine were immediately set off and saw him for what he was. Serious Walter Breen vibes.
People say stuff like "Its so disgusting how common it is for well-respected individuals to turn out like this.", but the way I see it, it's the other way around. It's disgusting how common it is for individuals like this to become well-respected, let alone popular and beloved by many. Manipulation of those around you is...far easier than people believe it to be. You don't have to be some kind of an intelligent mastermind to do it. You can be anyone. You can even be extremely dumb. But as long as you can guilt trip those around you, play a victim, and omit important details, you can manipulate the thoughts of others.
Well respected ? The fact we are at a place as a fkin species , where someone thinks they can "know" who someone REALLY is, because of some videos they post on social media... There should be studies done on how social media consumption skews basic patterns of cognitive functions... When people think they know others via some video posted on a platform, you just know something is going terribly wrong.
That newspaper clipping shows the case is even more troubling... he was a Juvenile Court volunteer, so he was intentionally insinuating himself into a position of authority over vulnerable minors, and the minor he assaulted was apparently a resident of some type of juvenile facility or residence home, away from the normal support systems that children might have to help protect them from people like Tom. That all shows how calculating, cold, and methodical he was about his criminal behavior. That's not an indication that this was a one time thing or lapse in judgement.
I had watched him. My mother is now a "cute old lady" and she's much loved in her care home whereas my medical records show the levels of her abuse. I have had a huge affinity with elderly people since I was pre-school and that has usually been a good path. As my mother disintegrates she is not able to contain her abusive behaviour and it's now being passed on to the carers.
Old people are people too, they can be as horrible as normal people. Its easy to assume that they are sweet and fragile, but The best thing to do here(in my opinion) is to spread the truth, No matter what is cuased by it, The truth is always good
@@hiesen-iw2mm Very true. My mother has since died and, as far as I know, I was the only person who shed a tear. Here's to the elderly people of good heart who choose to spread their love and earned knowledge amongst us. x
Just goes to show how charismatic and sweet and trustworthy predators know how to be. Always keep in mind everyone wears masks and no one is exactly who you think they are.
The question is,are you willing/capable of turning that notion onto Charlie himself? Because don't preach that kind of stuff if you can't apply it to your most idolized role models.
As far as I’m concerned, that’s what he was. There was absolutely zero notion of this in the last ten years of content he’s put out, which is why I’m so upset that it’s all gone. I was a Food Fan, through and through, but I guess I can’t be anymore- one, because the internet would track me down and kill me, and two, because there’s nothing left to be a fan of. This whole thing is just disappointing.
This man is sick and what he did is absolutely disgusting , I was just wondering how this buried case was dug up after nearly 50 years , who sat there and was like “ hmm let’s check this guys past”
Man 😞 I never had a grandpa in my life so when I see old people like him makes my heart soft and I want to be nice to them in any way It’s really really sad to know their true colors
@@ryx8609 judging an entire generation cause of your trauma is fucked. i had some amazing grandparents and i definitely id miss them more than you when youre gone. same with other people who are prejudice against entire groups for other types of trauma, yall are the ones not missable.
Take this with you over the course of your life. Becoming old doesn't magically make you friendly. Evil people grow into old people. When you're in the presence of a old man sometimes the reason he won't try to harm or assault you in some way is because he is simply too old to do it. Old just simply means you can't do what you really want to do to the extent that you want to do it whether that's good or bad.
Sexual offenses often get no more than a "slap on the wrist" or a fairly short jail or prison term. The details heard in court must have sounded pretty horrific to garner 3 life sentences. This is really sad.

Luckily, I have never seen or even heard of Featureman until this video. I am happy to hear that people were diligent enough to not fall for his manipulations and are holding him accountable for his despicable choices.
I actually heard of the Featureman from the channel Should I Series when he recreated his weird cereal recipe. Now that I mentioned it, what is it with people making odd dishes and turning out to be predators.
Really grateful I wasn't super aware of this dude. I'm getting tired of hearing about seemingly "innocent" and "trustworthy" people being found out as creeps.

OMG!!! I called this guy out many many months ago after seeing his Chucky Cheese video where he is sitting in his car complaining about the Playground being closed and how dissapointed he was. I found him to be very very odd and creepy right off the bat. I continued to his channel and I was not impressed by it at all. I thought, what a friggin joke this guy is and the way he talked just gave me the heebeegeebees bigtime. After making a few comments here and there on some especially odd videos, I was attacked by his fans and reported. Thanks for posting. I just found out by watching this. Good Lord my instincts were bang on.
Same, he would mention kids quite often in his videos and it just seemed out of place. Nothing gross he said, but just that fact he often mentioned kids.
These comments are so stupid, well done you special little flower, an old man gave you “the heebeegeebees” 🤣🤣🤣 you had no fkin clue same as the rest of us
In that video you see no soul, empathy, or remorse. It is terrifying that this monster was able to fool us all for so long. Something needs to be done about him.
Well he sure didn't fool me. I saw from day one that his eyes lacked soul. For myself I cannot understand how people can't see how obvious these soulless people are, it's just an empty shell.

@@TheTuttle99 Uh yea... He had a huge fan meet up in Nashville a few years ago. This was obviously way before we found out he was a pedo. He posted a video of it which showed all the people that attended the meet and greet. He answered questions and sang songs for the audience.
It feels like every other month a creator I like(d) is being accused of or found guilty of sexual assault in some form. How hard is it to just… not be a garbage excuse for a human? I can’t even begin to imagine how his victim must have felt. It’s heartbreaking.

I know,I still occasionally think about all those women who were sexually abused by Trump and Biden and how they must feel these days as well as what they have to go through.
it doesnt take strength to tell the cops about someone
This literally happened to me. I was raped by a co worker and everyone sided with him, and they wouldn’t take it to millitary court because it happened overseas and there “wasn’t enough evidence”, “your word against his”. I lost so many friends because he was so well liked. I’m still in therapy for this, it happened 6 years ago.
Whenever a child predator gets out of their punishment, people need to look into the judge. The amount that turn out to be fellow predators. Way too many judges over the years have been discovered with CP on in their possession.
Always wondered if it’s that people who get into high ranking positions are often pedo’s themselves and want control of others because of it (hence why they go for a job with a “high rank) or if getting into a high ranking position in society exposes you to new things that lead you down a rabbit hole. Either way, sick and twisted.
That's a good point. But when they get out on technicalities it's because of sloppy police work getting confessions or something. I think in this case it was the verbiage in the sentencing, so maybe this was a judge lending a helping hand
It's the same with drunk drivers. Both the judge who ruled no restitution was to be paid, and the DA who didn't push for any $ or punishment, had DUIs within a few years of my case. A slap on the wrist is all they got, just like they gave the guy who's 7th felony conviction ruined my life in every possible way.
No matter an young innocent woman was made homeless, unable to work. I was permanently disabled with no support. And ofc the acute & chronic pain I'm in isn't treated because o piates are now the devil, since the ppl in charge prefer alcohol, the most destructive drug in the world.
And as a victim of 2 rapes and also child abuse, none of the ppl who did any of it paid the price. Justice doesn't really exist.
exactly!!! im sensing some sketchiness in that prosecution. Too many so called "public defendants" i.e: judges, prosecutors etc have all been exposed an we are seeing more and more come to light which is good.
Jeez is there some kind of religion of eunuch cult and child fcking since Christ was murdered or something?!?

Violent crime is most often committed by black people. Are most black people violent criminals? 🤔
He got off because a second victim testified against him in the trial. It was in law that you can’t convict someone for one crime just because they committed a different crime as that would be prejudice from the jury, so the second victim’s testimony was inadmissible.
That means someone relived a trauma on the stand to get their attacker convicted, and then got told that their testimony was the very reason the attacker is walking free.
That... is horrible. That poor victim. I would be absolutely crushed and distraught. The legal system is a joke sometimes. I would know. I've been through it. My case got dismissed because of "lack of evidence." They had DNA, texts, bruises on my body, records of hospital visits, et cetera.

This is why, as a dad, I assume you never really know anyone. And my kid’s innocence is way too high of a price to pay for trusting someone, or not being rude, or being “overly” cautious. I don’t care who it is, or what anyone says, I’ll be the bad guy in order to make sure my kids are never put in a situation where someone can take advantage of them.
There is no “fool me once” with shit like this.
I agree, may the Lord bless you and your family
Couldn’t have said it any better
Your a great dad
Fool me once *bang *bang *bang
Not alive to fool me twice
It's risky. Never trusting anyone leads to a bland life for parent and child. It's important to be realistic, but there is a point where being overly cautious is harmful
People don’t understand that people that are genuinely dangerous predators are usually super charismatic. You’re most likely not gonna be creeped out by them, there’s definitely outliers but they’re usually *really* good at hiding what they are. Lots of survivors or serial killers like Bundy when asked why they got in a car with a stranger said something like “he was a nice, charming, good looking guy that didn’t seem dangerous.”
I can speak of experience that the way some predators behave around kids make you think that that kind of person is the best to have around children, calming them, acting like a dad, generally caring about them, they know what they are doing, thats why cases like these are unexpected, and why many predators come from close family proximity
Bundy also did things like walk with a cast, or dress as a Police Officer- so people would be more inclined to trust. So awful.
I wouldn't say usually.... the majority of predators are low functioning antisocials. There are higher functioning, and more manipulative people that are definitely more concerning though.
Really cold take: thinking that people are dumb to feel disappointed that someone they liked turned out to be a bad person. It's not about them being a celebrity- it would feel just as bad if they were a friend or even acquaintance. It sucks to find out someone you liked/associated with has done really bad things, period.
Guys don't reply the bot, just report and move on

I was once at the laundromat and saw an old man, a veteran, in a wheelchair, struggling to do his laundry. I decided to help him. He was so sweet an jolly. Then as the evening progresses, he told many war stories that mostly were about the brotherhood with his military comrades. In the middle of the story, he quickly glossed over a detail in a story about hanging out at the local VFW where he said “me and my buddies tied the local barfly to a tree and we all took turns having our way with her, some people call that rape, I call it a good time”.
He continued on talking and I was left just disgusted and I kept helping him with his laundry but I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Just because someone is old and helpless doesn’t mean they’re a good person.

You can control it, that’s your obligation, to get help. The consequence for violating any laws against kids should be the harshest possible. But you said they should just “not like kids”, the point isn’t them liking kids, it IS hard for them to not like kids, the point for them is to get help
@@MegaVega2007 100% agree. People can go the full nurture route and I definitely lean towards that, but sometimes I look at nature, too. Sometimes they grow up completely fine just to be kid diddlers all the same. And both types of people-- traumatized and not into their paraphilia-- are absolutely arrested by their attraction. Moreover than the others, like necrophiliacs or the like. Pedophiles are a very special kind of evil, inside and out.
@@MegaVega2007 Rare nuanced take.
These type of events where youtubers are actually predators or pedophiles are becoming such a common occurrence, it is almost like saying the sky is blue.

this is crazy. i met this guy a few years ago. i worked on his roof. after i finished the job he very enthusiastically showed me his piano and his studio and his youtube videos. this was close to 10 years ago so it was kind of novel and weird at the time, for such an old guy to be on youtube. me and my roommate would watch featureman videos and kind of speculate on his life. the classic videos i can barely remember but recently i remember one where he made a beef stew with elbow macaroni in it and just ate it right out of the pot, we laughed and speculated maybe he was a sweet old retiree who didn’t want to bother washing a bowl. but damn, this is so crazy to hear ole featureman was like this…. my roommate texted me last night and said did you hear about featureman? and i instantly thought, oh no! did he die? but no i guess he’s just evil fuck

Literally every male celebrity, famous historical figure, and politician that I have ever admired turned out to be a rapist. "Not every man" yes of course but way, way too many. It really does damage your ability to trust ppl, especially men, especially if you've had sexual trauma yourself. It really starts to wear down your psyche.

You should read bernie sanders essay on women and his 2 NDAs
The Hog Rider is a fast ground troop with medium hit points, low damage, and the ability to jump over enemy Walls. He is unlocked at level 2 Dark Barracks. The Hog Rider (person) is a bare-chested dark-skinned man holding a hammer. He has a Mohawk, wears a brown leather loincloth, a red belt, and a pair of leather sandals, as well as two large golden wristbands and a gold earring. His ride is a large hog, about half his height. It has a brown leather bridle looped around its tusks, which in turn is held by the Hog Rider. Hog Riders prioritize defensive structures above all other targets, and will bypass all other types of enemy buildings and troops while any defenses remain on the battlefield. This is true even if they are under attack by enemy Clan Castle troops, heroes or Skeleton Trap skeletons. Note that like all troops that prioritize defenses, Hog Riders do not consider the Clan Castle to be a defense regardless of whether or not it contains enemy troops, but do consider the defending Grand Warden and the activated Town Hall weapon (if any) to be defensive buildings. Once all defenses are destroyed, Hog Riders become like any other troop with no preferred target; they will attack the nearest building to them regardless of type, and will turn and attack enemy units if they become aware of any nearby Strategy Offensive He can be used to jump over any level Walls, rendering them ineffective against Hog Riders. Note that while this allows Hog Riders free access to what lies behind the Walls, it does not open up gaps for other troops to move through. If the Hog Riders need the support of other ground troops, you will still need to deploy Wall Breakers, a Jump Spell, or Earthquake Spells in order to assist them. Hog Riders can be used en masse, i.e. a “Hog Rider Rush”, without requiring any Wall Breakers to break Walls. However, such a strategy can be costly in terms of Dark Elixir, and sports weaknesses against defending Clan Castle troops, Heroes, Giant Bombs, and Skeleton Traps, a problem which only becomes more prominent at higher levels. At Town Hall 10 and above, Hog Riders can be combined with Miners in a strategy known as Hog Miner or Hybrid. Both troops are able to bypass Walls innately, but Miners do not have a preferential target, allowing them to cover for Hog Riders by dealing with defending Heroes and Skeleton Traps. The combination also has weaknesses against flying Clan Castle troops, as neither are able to target air. At lower levels, Hog Riders are quite capable of acting as distracting troops like Giants; they have nearly as much health as a similar-level Giant, move twice as fast, and do considerably more damage. They work well with the Healing Spell when you group several of them together. A good tactic for using Healing Spells is to place them strategically on a cluster of defenses (at least about 3 or more) and also deploy them shortly before the Hog Riders arrive in the area, deploy them in front of the Hog Riders. This is so that the Hog Riders get the most value out of the Healing Spell, and destroy the defenses without losing too much HP. Spots where Giant Bombs or Bomb Towers are/may be should be given special attention when deploying Healing Spells. Hogs of the same level as the Giant Bomb will survive a single Giant Bomb, but they’re helpless against a pair of Giant Bombs even with a Healing Spell. Heal them after they’ve gone through a Giant Bomb blast. The Hog Rider is one of the best troop types for drawing out Clan Castle troops, as it can avoid Walls to penetrate deep enough to reach centrally-placed Clan Castles (and enough health to not die before it gets there). Deploy one or a few to trigger the Clan Castle troops, then lure the reinforcement troops to the corner side, and deploy multiple Archers or Wizards to slaughter them, and then deploy the remainder of your Hog Riders. This strategy is especially effective during Clan War raids. However, Skeletons from the Skeleton Trap and Heroes can also easily kill the Hog Riders, as they can only target defenses, so make sure to have some troops that target anything, such as Wizards, which can swipe out the Skeletons. Hog Riders don’t target air so flying Clan Castle troops, especially Dragons, can be a big threat. Most mass Hog Rider strategies in Clan Wars require that the Clan Castle troops be killed first by luring. Bring other troops in addition to Hog Riders, such as Wizards, to deal with enemy Clan Castle troops and clean up the base.

Breathing requires you to suck in air and then breathe it out. It also requires your airways not to be blocked, your lungs not being obstructed or infected too much, and it requires you to be alive.
Not being a predator means that you simply be a good person. In fact, you don't even have to be a good person not to be a predator. And it only requires your attractions to be normal. Easy as that.

You're actually one of the lucky ones. Rarely does it even get them out of working with kids for more than a year apparently.
The guy who abused multiple kids in our town when I was in elementary school had prior charges, got to work with kids again and then got probation, got to change his name and move somewhere else.
Man you're so lucky. Sucks for the victims that fell for 'Featureman', hope they're living well.
This brings me back to a case I heard from my high school Native American teacher. In the 80s when she was an elementary student and lived on a reservation, she remembered that one of the police officers who worked at the reservation was arrested and charged for SA'ing two minors (both girls) at her school. From what she knows, the reason this memory stuck with her was that one of her friends was the daughter of the police officer, and the police officer was renowned at the school many times as a great dude who got along with the students well (yeah self-explanatory after what I just typed before).
Because of the laws at the time, alongside her living in a reservation (reservations to this day have seperate laws to the state that they are in, making court very complicated, unsolvable, and sometimes even undocumented. For real look up the amount of missing persons cases on reservations, its insane what crimianls can exploit nowadays). From what she said, the police officer got some time in prison, but was eventually released shortly for unknown reasons. The police officer decided to change his identity and move out the reservation.
Luckily she was not a victim of SA, but that must've been terrifying to know that their once renowned police officer at school was a child predator.

You just don't think it , so we PRESUME others are "like us"... And .. they are not.
Why would you ever think that everyone thinks like you ? It makes no sense. Do you think of yourself as some prototype of the human race and everyone is modeled after you ? This is actually disturbingly simple minded or narcissistic. Why ? How did that make sense to you ? At any point ? How did you not figure it out earlier ? You went through your whole life, up to 66 years of age, thinking that everyone else had the same mindset as you ? This is mindboggling.

Today feels super weird, I watched Tom for the past year and loved his wholesome content. I feel incredibly betrayed and VERY bad for his victims since he essentially just got to go on with his life virtually unscathed with a successful youtube channel. I guess it just proves that a viewer never truly knows the person on the other end of the camera. Thanks for covering this Charlie.
So wholesome. I don't want to believe this😢
Hey Kevin
For those who still don't understand how Tom avoided conviction: the prosecution used the testimony of Tom's other victim to illustrate his tendencies and clear intent to commit a crime. According to the letter of the law, they should only rely on the facts of the case, i.e. the testimony of the child victim without the context of the testimony of other victims. This is to avoid a situation in which the defendant is convicted for his overall character and not for the act for which he was charged. Thus, he was able to win the appeal because there were more victims than one.
That's ridiculous, it would make sense if it was a different crime type altogether like robbing or something so they were trying to talk about his character overall but if it's the same crime that should act as evidence he's done to his before

Manipulation of those around you is...far easier than people believe it to be. You don't have to be some kind of an intelligent mastermind to do it.
You can be anyone. You can even be extremely dumb. But as long as you can guilt trip those around you, play a victim, and omit important details, you can manipulate the thoughts of others.
Unfortunately true
The assumption that all predators are mastermind manipulators is a massive stretch but yeah
Like white supremacy ideology
Well respected ? The fact we are at a place as a fkin species , where someone thinks they can "know" who someone REALLY is, because of some videos they post on social media... There should be studies done on how social media consumption skews basic patterns of cognitive functions... When people think they know others via some video posted on a platform, you just know something is going terribly wrong.
People are fucking gullible. That's the problem.
That newspaper clipping shows the case is even more troubling... he was a Juvenile Court volunteer, so he was intentionally insinuating himself into a position of authority over vulnerable minors, and the minor he assaulted was apparently a resident of some type of juvenile facility or residence home, away from the normal support systems that children might have to help protect them from people like Tom. That all shows how calculating, cold, and methodical he was about his criminal behavior. That's not an indication that this was a one time thing or lapse in judgement.
Reminds me of that old man from The Family Guy.

This man is sick and what he did is absolutely disgusting , I was just wondering how this buried case was dug up after nearly 50 years , who sat there and was like “ hmm let’s check this guys past”
It was definitely buried deep.
One of the victims maybe? Or a offspring of them? Who knows. If you already know, it is not overly difficult to add it up.
Likely someone trying to look him up to see what he used to do, and then finding the records
I was wondering the same thing 💀
There are people with too much free time
It's so sad that this title could apply to about 50 other people in the past decade
Man 😞 I never had a grandpa in my life so when I see old people like him makes my heart soft and I want to be nice to them in any way
It’s really really sad to know their true colors
Can relate. Really sad and mad when I found out
Yeah my grandparents were the fucking devil. You didn’t miss much from that generation my friend.
@@ryx8609 judging an entire generation cause of your trauma is fucked. i had some amazing grandparents and i definitely id miss them more than you when youre gone. same with other people who are prejudice against entire groups for other types of trauma, yall are the ones not missable.
Take this with you over the course of your life. Becoming old doesn't magically make you friendly. Evil people grow into old people.
When you're in the presence of a old man sometimes the reason he won't try to harm or assault you in some way is because he is simply too old to do it. Old just simply means you can't do what you really want to do to the extent that you want to do it whether that's good or bad.
He was my favorite youtuber 😢
Sexual offenses often get no more than a "slap on the wrist" or a fairly short jail or prison term. The details heard in court must have sounded pretty horrific to garner 3 life sentences. This is really sad.
sexual offenses should often get MORE than a "slap on the wrist".
what a sick world we live in, we let these disgusting freaks roam free.
@@solskengroupllp2758keep convincing yourself of that buddy
They do get tough sentences...relative to most other crimes. It's just that they should be harsher.
Depends on what you mean for sexual offenses, rape cases around my area get several years in prison
@@solskengroupllp2758lol. My mom's fiance (x fiance after this) went into my 13 year old nieces room when she was sleeping and put a finger inside of her. He was immediately arrested - 4 months in jail.
If the victims are still alive, please sue the estate!
Sometimes this is the best way. For those who don't get justice in court, why should they suffer while the predators profit
sadly we are not living in a society where this is better done than said
The statute would have run out
@@whoareyoutoaccuseme depends on the state but i dont think civil lawsuits have that limitation. trump is getting sued by a lady that he allegedly sexually assaulted 20 years ago right now
@@tylerbanks4 And it'll go nowhere.
It’s getting to the point where if you say you’re famous on the internet. You’re immediately assumed to be some kinda predator… sad.
Luckily, I have never seen or even heard of Featureman until this video. I am happy to hear that people were diligent enough to not fall for his manipulations and are holding him accountable for his despicable choices.
I actually heard of the Featureman from the channel Should I Series when he recreated his weird cereal recipe. Now that I mentioned it, what is it with people making odd dishes and turning out to be predators.
Really grateful I wasn't super aware of this dude. I'm getting tired of hearing about seemingly "innocent" and "trustworthy" people being found out as creeps.
that poor boy...when that man started talking i felt sick to my stomach. I hope he gets everything he deserves and suffers for what he did.
This was the first comment I saw that was talking about the victim instead of the pedo guy. Idk if its just me but I scrolled for eternity to find a comment about the boy but did not found any...Is it because the victim is a boy? idk
Same I genuinely felt sick as he kept talking
@@quandaIedingIe genuinely i thought the same but seeing as most of them are just in pure shock about their “favourite” youtuber being a convicted pedo in guessing its not coz its a boy its coz theyre genuinely shocked
He talks all fuckin slow and creepy like my abuser.
@@quandaIedingIebecause nobody actually cares about the victim they care about venting their repressed anger on a more or less acceptable target
I read the title and just thought “again?”
Sucks that it’s that common
If you expected him to be a predator, he wouldnt be very good at it
exactly, he looks exactly like herbert the pervert
thats a good point, makes me feel a bit less upset about all the people i misinterpreted 🤢
There was another elderly man called PlasmaMasterDon. Sounded like the old guy from family guy. People joked he was a pedo. Turns out, he was a pedo.
@@lrizzard I mean people say "it's always the ones you least expect" and often they are not wrong. They are manipulative and that is what makes them so dangerous and predatory, otherwise would just be a rapist.
@@fireemblemaddict128 old men have some nasty habits eh
OMG!!! I called this guy out many many months ago after seeing his Chucky Cheese video where he is sitting in his car complaining about the Playground being closed and how dissapointed he was. I found him to be very very odd and creepy right off the bat. I continued to his channel and I was not impressed by it at all. I thought, what a friggin joke this guy is and the way he talked just gave me the heebeegeebees bigtime. After making a few comments here and there on some especially odd videos, I was attacked by his fans and reported. Thanks for posting. I just found out by watching this. Good Lord my instincts were bang on.
called it out, nice
Same, he would mention kids quite often in his videos and it just seemed out of place. Nothing gross he said, but just that fact he often mentioned kids.
I felt the same way about bentalect i didn't know what it was about him but something about him felt off guess i was right
These comments are so stupid, well done you special little flower, an old man gave you “the heebeegeebees” 🤣🤣🤣 you had no fkin clue same as the rest of us
In that video you see no soul, empathy, or remorse. It is terrifying that this monster was able to fool us all for so long. Something needs to be done about him.
I got that vibe from him even in his other videos.
@dejuren I know, but someone like this should definitely still get what they deserve.
@@smellthel Didn't he already get 3 LiP sentences?
@@mynamehasspacesinit8687 He did, but because of a technicality he barely got a slap on the wrist.
Well he sure didn't fool me. I saw from day one that his eyes lacked soul. For myself I cannot understand how people can't see how obvious these soulless people are, it's just an empty shell.
Typical gaslighting behavior of a predator. Ugh. Never heard of him, and glad of it. Thanks for bringing the story.
I’m actually heartbroken. I’ve watched his videos and supported his channel for years, he reminded me of my long deceased grandfather. What is wrong with this world!
probably should not have said that. that was kind of fucked up. sorry.
@@Slava_Ukraini1991 not funny
Your pf name is what Featureman is
@@Saturnia2014 lol yeah, gotta change that name. As of now I’m morally wealthy.
@@Slava_Ukraini1991 why would you comment this?
it's honestly the wholesome people you don't expect to be predators
@@TwitterWarrior337unlive urself, pedo
No I absolutely think most if not all overly wholesome people are evil.
@@faisalhussain2270 Including you
And me....we're Humans...our potential for good and bad are equally limitless...something something "Original Sin" or whatever
So stop thinking people are wholesome based on videos the make. Never understood that mindset.
Like its not hard for people to not show the worst parts of them in videos.. most people try and portray a good person even if they arent.
I'm gutted. He WAS one of my favorite RUclipsrs. He recently posted he was planning another meeting with fans in May, I was going to go because I don't live that far from him. I already had a list of questions and discussion topics. There goes that. Glad the victim(s) finally got some justice. I can't trust anyone, makes me leery of all my other favorite wholesome RUclipsrs.
You were gonna go meet him wtf
Go still, but be sure to remember to beat the ever loving shit outta him
@Pecker Dupri what do you think he is doing?
@@TheTuttle99 Uh yea... He had a huge fan meet up in Nashville a few years ago. This was obviously way before we found out he was a pedo. He posted a video of it which showed all the people that attended the meet and greet. He answered questions and sang songs for the audience.
@Pecker Dupri What the fuck do you think I'm doing? Stop throwing around trendy buzz words when you don't know what they mean.
That title is literally just every RUclipsr at this point :/
Tom was 32 when he was assaulting one of the victims, a 13 year old. The kid tried to slit his own throat with a knife because of it.
How do you know this
@@trmp9923 +1
@@trmp9923 im guessing mudahars video explains it
@@trmp9923 literally one Google search provides results...
Worthless, he couldnt even slit his own throat correctly
It feels like every other month a creator I like(d) is being accused of or found guilty of sexual assault in some form. How hard is it to just… not be a garbage excuse for a human? I can’t even begin to imagine how his victim must have felt. It’s heartbreaking.
Well maybe there is a correlation between the personality for being an actor and for being a child predator.
hmmm its almost like young girls actually are attractive and u are brainwashed to think otherwise
Agreed. I don’t understand how people can’t control themselves around another person.
@@GeorgeMonet Or maybe being a predator is so common that you see it is public figures. Like theyre even trying to make AI child p**n a thing right now.
Honestly at this point I'm almost finding it hard to believe. I'm not doubting this specific case, it's just like every week nearly. "Well known ____ is a child predator" Like it just does not feel possible for it to be such a common thing.
Damn. This just proves you can’t trust anyone. Be careful out there
not nowdays, it has always been this way.
How many times do you have to see things like this and still reply like it was okay beforehand
@@nyud yeah absolutely. But now with the internet and social media and whatnot it’s just so much more accessible and convenient for lack of a better word.
Umm....were you like....born yesterday? People have proven to be far from trustworthy from the dawn of man..
Always has been this way
Here’s a list on how to not be a predator: 1: avoid twitter 2: avoid twitter and finally :3 avoid twitter
really hit 'em with that :3 at the end there
Just don't get sexual with minors
