Beware of this Youtuber

(I have already posted this thread in "Internet Safety", but I think it belongs here as well. If HQ disagrees, please, remove.)


This is directed at the parents of teenagers and pre-teens, but whether you have children of that age or not, please, read through - you could potentially prevent the child(ren) of a family member, or a friend from putting themselves in a potentially dangerous position!

This 31 year old YouTuber, Onision, has for a very long time been exploiting teenage girls for his own profit in his YouTube videos. Young girls (some of them looking frighteningly young) post pictures (many of them very sparingly dressed) of their bodies to his website, for him to rate publicly on his channels.
He has on numerous occasions belittled, bullied and sexualized these girls, again, publicly!

That aside, his content is extremely inappropriate, and he will often give very detailed, graphic stories about his sex life with his current wife and their 19 year old girlfriend. He ridicules serious issues like anorexia, depression, and other mental problems, and publicly shames his viewers, if they disagree. He has a 16 year old girl (who's supposedly his wife's friend) living with him as well.

Throughout his YouTube carrier, he has been with two minors, one of which he drove into a suicidal state, and the other which he married (his current wife). Both were fans of his.

A huge part of his audience are girls in their early to mid teens. He's very manipulative, and seems to have a very tight grasp on many of them.

Please, beware of this guy!

Op have you contacted CEOP about him? YouTube won't give a shit but ceop should. Send them everything you have about the guy.
The more people who contact them the better.
Unlike YouTube ceop do take exploitation very serious.

bloodyteenagers I've read through their site, and I don't think there's much they can do either, since he's American.

They work with other agencies overseas. Don't let that stop you. A lot of time when grooming or exploitation is happening, it's through anonymous chat.
If you are outside the UK then check out the virtual global task force for who to contact locally. If you want to report him also in America, I think it's ICE.

I have come in contact with someone who is trying to get take legal action against this man. At the moment he's gathering evidence on his own, though, and he's asking for help.
Here's a link to his Facebook post: m.facebook.com/thechambersofmyheart/posts/1177400355713407

What he's basically asking, is that people share his post so it might be able to reach parents, whose kids have been in Onision's videos. It seems to be the only way anything can actually be done.

My 14yr old DD loves his videos same with my 18yr old DS but to be honest I'm a little shocked at how it's okay for under 18's to post underwear pictures of themselves to his page that get featured on his videos..

Why are YouTube not removing those types of videos!
