\"Ian<\/a><\/p>\n

Last year I published an article with a title that said it all:\u00a0Something is Terribly Wrong With Many \u201cKids\u201d Videos on YouTube<\/a><\/span>. Supported by dozens of nauseating screenshots, the article explained how countless YouTube channels tricked children into watching dark, disturbing, traumatizing and sexual content. Even worse, some of these channels appeared to depict actual child abuse as children were seen doing things that made them very upset. Even worse, some of these channels appeared to be custom-made for pedophiles.<\/h5>\n
The last sentence of the article was:<\/h5>\n
And don\u2019t be surprised if some of these video channels are linked to actual child abuse systems.<\/h5>\n
Unfortunately, this sentence turned out to be true. Disgustingly\u00a0true. Indeed, it was recently discovered that Ian Rylett, the 55-year-old co-founder of the massive network of YouTube channels\u00a0SevenAwesomeKids, was arrested in August for \u201clewd and lascivious molestation\u201d on a young girl\u00a0who makes videos for his channels.<\/h5>\n
According to an arrest warrant obtained by BuzzFeed News, detectives were called to Rylett\u2019s Orange County hotel room on the morning of Aug. 16, after Rylett allegedly verbally abused the girl, demanding she undress in front of him against her will and \u201cpractice wrapping her breasts down, to make them appear smaller for the video shoot.\u201d According to the report, the girl, who is under 16, claims Rylett touched her breasts and fondled her while repeatedly making her undress, eventually attempting to forcefully remove her underwear. The arrest report also alleges that Rylett \u201cthreatened to use the contract to fine her if she did not comply with his demand.\u201d Rylett pleaded not guilty to the charges at an arraignment last month. He has surrendered his passport and will stand trial later this year. Rylett\u2019s lawyer did not respond to requests for comment.

The arrest warrant against Ian Rylett.<\/h5>\n
Other girls involved with the YouTube channels described some Rylett\u2019s creepy behavior:<\/h5>\n
Two former SevenAwesomeKids girls told BuzzFeed News that Rylett frequently pressured them to wear smaller swimsuits on camera. One said that Rylett asked that she send him sizing photos for each new bathing suit she planned to wear in her videos. Rylett, she said, told her it was for \u201csponsor approval\u201d and requested numerous front, back, and side photos. Two former performers recalled that Rylett frequently made girls uncomfortable with jokes about \u201cwardrobe malfunctions\u201d when he would accompany the girls on group trips to shoot videos. One former SevenAwesomeKids girl noted \u201cconstant pressure to make myself look younger.\u201d<\/h5>\n
\u201cOn trips we used to joke about him being creepy, but we never thought he\u2019d act on it,\u201d another said.<\/h5>\n
A former performer stated that she began feeling she was being \u201cgroomed for some darker audience\u201d.<\/h5>\n
\u201cThen some of us started to get the feeling we were being groomed for some darker audience. Things that didn\u2019t feel weird at the time \u2014 like the themes, the leotards, and the camera angles \u2014 started to feel strange. I started to get that feeling especially when you think that some of these girls are 9 years old.\u201d

As of now, the SevenAwesomeKids network is still online on YouTube.<\/h5>\n
