@@annawimpey5307 if they were in alphabetical order order, I think that former musician would’ve come first. I thing the “American” part is separate from “sex offender”. You know how for example Emma Watson’s Wikipedia would say “English actress”? Wikipedia mentions their nationality and then their career. Do I make sense? I’m sorry if I’m confusing.
the "I manipulated minors" starter pack - blaming it on mental health - I started cutting myself - telling everyone that (insert person) told them not to expose themselves - came back after a few weeks/months acting like nothing happened
@LadyGaGa is hot caring and understanding are really different thing , i can understand how some humans become killers , i dont care for their reason tho , they need to be locked up .
@LadyGaGa is hot wtf have you taken ? Did i say anything of the sort ? Stop assuming for fck sake's , i understand why people can be killer , i can see why we should take action to prevent such situation , but i DONT FCKIN CARE what they got trough once they killed someone , it doesnt excuse their behavior . Why do you assume and blame me for society's fckin problems just because i explain the difference between understanding and caring , i dont even fathom .
@LadyGaGa is hot And why exactly do you feel the need to cut half of my sentence when you quote ? Because if you quote the whole sentence your rebutal makes no sense , if " i can understand how some humans become killers " how am i not able to adress the reasons one would be a killer ? Here let me take a shot at what you are doing : " People like you are the problem, people who don't care " about truth , but only want to be right about everything , and be judgmental about anyone that dare oppose you .... making assumption to feel better about their conclusion wihout even asking people to clarify their views , this type of toxic behavior is THE PROBLEM with society ! PS : You should stop being confident about your assumptions .
I'm 28 but get told all the time i look 17 & it bothers me. I don't go out of my way to look younger, i just have a babyface & can't grow facial hair very well. This dude is garbage & purposely tries to make himself look younger. It's sick af.
The way he treated these girls is exactly the way I was treated by predators at the 14. It’s like there’s some kind of textbook they were all learning from. I was blamed by my parents for the whole thing, and no one stood up for me. My whole life I’ve struggled to view what happened to me as anything other than just suffering the consequences of my actions. Hearing you drag Austin through the mud for nearly identical behavior to my predators and finding out that he was sentenced so harshly is so… validating. This video has done so much to help me genuinely accept what happened wasn’t somehow my fault.
I'm so sorry you went through that. Your parents are wrong. At 14, you were legally and morally incapable of giving informed consent. Nothing that happened was your fault. You were a victim, and only your predator is to blame for taking advantage of a child. I hope you'll be able to grow past this someday and find peace. Stay strong. ❤
I hope you feel better now than you did back then Your parents should’ve listened and you didn’t deserve to go though anything so bad as a predator, it’s never your fault and don’t let the manipulation take your guard down Always stay safe and always tell people if anything happens, I hope you never have to go though anything of the sorts ever again I want you to recover and have a wonderful partner if that’s what you want and know that you can do whatever you want with your life Have a good day and don’t ever let someone do something bad, although it’s not your fault just stay safe because we need to stand together and report these predators! Remember to stick to your guns and never second guess yourself ❤
I am so sorry this happened to you. I have a 7 year old daughter and this really makes me feel like I need to find ways to protect her. Maybe your parents' reaction is their way to try to avoid the unbearable guilt of admitting that they did not protect you as they should have. Not saying this justifies them, but maybe it can help you to think that deep inside, it is not that they think you did wrong, but rather that they cannot cope with the idea that they did. Unfortunately, we parents are just people, and not all people are moral rocks 😕 And you know what? Ultimately how they feel is not your problem, it is theirs. You did nothing to deserve what happened and that's what you need to stick to.
Whoever raised her should be proud. They raised a smart and sensible young lady. I hope she keeps that stubbornness and that tenacity, because she’ll go so far in life!
Had a similar situation. I'm 14 as well, and had a dude slide into my dms. I knew what he want, but I played along trying to act clueless. Until he asked "wanna see something cool?" And I knew it was gonna be a dick pic, I just showed him a picture of the middle finger I saved from Google and sent it to him as my reply. He was mad lmfao. But I educated him anyway since there were apparently a LOT of underaged girls he followed on Instagram. Long story short, I verbally abused him until he left me alone.
As someone who has dealt with depression, to the point of self-harm, and suicidal thoughts, his apology video made me so angry. He was using a mental illness as an EXCUSE. You can’t use depression as an excuse because unless you are out of your mind/unable to determine right from wrong, you have control over your actions. He did these things deliberately and used being depressed as an excuse. I have seen manipulation and he was dripping with it.
i found his apology funny bc he really came up with the most absurd excuses for “depression”. He went to multiple funerals at a young age for people he didn’t know? BYE that ain’t gonna give you depression try harder babe🫶🏻
The fact that he went on and on in so much detail pisses me off. It was so drawn out and obvious he was trying really hard to make people feel bad for him. I've had addiction issues and a few mental health issues most of my life. And as a result have been toxic. But you just have to admit you did wrong, feel remorse and move on rather than trying to manipulate others into forgiving you because you were suicidal. Like at least I can say I never negged teenagers into sending me explicit content. Jesus Christ
I remember when he was exposed, I saw so many ppl who used to think he was cute saying "ugh hes so ugly how'd he even GET girls". Like y'all. He's not even below average looks wise. Heck he (unfortunately) pulled off the "boys next door" scene look pretty well. People have this weird mindset that predators are going to LOOK like creeps; like nah they just have to BE creeps. Not only that, lotsa predators get away without even getting investigated cuz they don't "look the part" due to this mindset. Thankfully I've seen more ppl wake up to the fact that attractive ppl can be predators recently
I mean like from the bottom of my heart sincerely he DOES look like a creep. most grown ass adults that mainly have teen fanbases and follow teen styles/haircuts/trends LOOK LIKE CREEPS. at least from the perspective of a 25 year old. I can see why a teen might think it's cute but as an adult when I see these tiktok ADULTS only have teens in their comments and only wear teen clothing and styles its CREEEEPY
Well, that's a given. He was already under fire, there was going to be damage, the question was how much. Its easier to deal with people unsubbing rather than people pressing charges, so he wanted to garner as much sympathy as possible.
Honestly if you know you got caught with shit like that. I wouldn't even apologize. That would just make things worse. I'd just delete my CZcams channel
@@tsukikagepanda4825 True. But it could also, from a psychological viewpoint, "just" mean that he was very emotionally attached to his sister / hasn't gotten over her death. It's actually not that uncommon. Sometimes people who lose a parent early, for example, later seek out partners that resemble that parent (in type or personality or both) if it correlates with their sexuality. And normally that's not about "having had a weird relationship with that parent", but just about subconsciously wanting to replace that connection or idealizing the deceased. Normally being the keyword. Obviously, there can be more to it. Either way, I don't find it incredibly far-fetched that his - well, whatever you wanna call that predatory tendency - stems from that incident. It does make a certain degree of "sense". Not an excuse though, obviously. Having those abnormal urges, maybe not, but acting on them instead of seeking out help that's a choice this guy made.
I think what makes me the angriest about his "apology" is how he blamed his pedophilia on his depression, his grandfather and father's death, and other tragedies in his past. It's honestly disgusting and I feel bad for his family who not only has to deal with being related to him but watching him use their loved one's deaths as an excuse of asking minors for twerking videos
My father left at 5, my mother passed away at 7, I was physically abused for 4 years after that, 2 years later at 13 I was stabbed, I’ve had pain and when people use pain of lose etc to make excuses for their abhorrent behavior is disgusting and cowardly
@ThatOneOddLookingDog ThatBarksAtYou To quote Tumblr user Mindful Wrath, who said it first and best; "honestly “i’ll do whatever you want” “then perish” is the single most powerful exchange possible in the english language and it’s from some bizarre “hewwo” obama rp"
I went to his high school, his mother was and still is a teacher there. I did not have her but I know she is a really nice teacher/person. I'm sorry for her and the victims.
@@MegCazalet yeah, her daughter died at ten, she dealt with an abusive husband who ended up having had sexually abused her son's, and then her son publicly obliterates himself by being a very obvious and very stupid child predator. I know highschool kids can be mean but I really *really* hope none of her student have ever mentioned it to her.
@@sarahamira5732 such as sad story. I mean this man had everything and a great career too but he threw it all away just to chase minors. and now his entire life is destoryed.
I can’t possibly imagine how it must feel being a teacher to children OLDER than the ones your adult son was victimizing. And on top of that, I can’t imagine facing a large group of teenagers absorbing the explosion that was his investigation on the internet daily. I don’t know if she was involved in any of the alleged abuse he suffered but either way, what a devastating situation for everyone.
"Boys will be boys!" Hey Austin, don't drop your dumpster fire of gross perversion on all of us men. I really despise twats like Jones. "My sister died, my only option was to ask for twerking vids from girls 20 years later, I had no choice!"
As someone medically diagnosed with depression as well as general anxiety, depression for me makes me too tired to even think of anything. I think of terrible things to happen to myself most of the time and rarely do I ever think about manipulating other people. I know it’s different for many other people but I’m sure one thing many of us can agree on is that depression doesn’t cause us to ask for random videos of people twerking.
He’s really blaming his being a predator on cutting himself, and his depression? I have depression, I have scar tissue all over my body from self harm. I’m not a predator. His “depression story” is the same story thousands of non-predators have. Parents divorced? ✔️ Father is a disappointment? ✔️ Death of grandfather? ✔️ The only thing he might have on people is the death of his sibling, and I’m sure that took its toll. But it’s not like he’s the only one who’s had a sibling die. And, I’m willing to bet that those who have had this unfortunate scenario play out aren’t predators because of it.
😂Literally just got a visual image of your DMs being flooded with twerking vids from hundreds of seniors “this ass is 67...watch it clap” ...the fuck is wrong with me 🧐
When I was 6, my older sister passed away and it made me sad. That's why I asked for videos from my underage fans of them twerking. Jesus. Christ. That logic.
You know, I notice almost every time a pedophile gets called out; they try to use the "sucidal" excuse as if that will absolve them. We've all had traumatic pasts, but we shouldn't use it as a cop out.
Also, Ms. Lauren Miller, you’re a warrior queen sis. At 14, in direct contact with someone you IDOLIZED, you showed more maturity, strength, courage, and solid self-worth than most twice your age. You’re a savage girl!
Okay I’m a little late to this party. Three big things; 1.) When he said “I used to cut my wrists” I nearly puked! Christ that was insincere!! 2.) As someone who died from a suicide attempt (I was bought back by paramedics in the back of an ambulance) and my experience only applies to the UK but I wasn’t allowed to leave the safety centre for three weeks minimum. Did he REALLY claim he was in one for one week? Sure thing! 3.) My brother was killed, my father’s mother was killed when he was 4; he was adopted and moved from Germany to Britain, removing him from his whole family… neither of us have asked young children for inappropriate media 🤷♂️ that’s no where near close to a reasonable excuse!
I am not certain how requesting "twerk" videos from girls younger than 18 relates to all of those situations he described...? Insecurity and depression do not lead to manipulation of adolescents. That is not a one to one conversion. This dude really had an opportunity with this video where he apologizes and ruined it at every possibility.
He has a wonderful mom and two amazingly nice and talented brothers. His mom is such a great influence on teens, and his brothers are amazing performers and dancers. I have no idea how he could have fell so far from the tree. I feel sick having seen him in person and going to the same high school. His family is great, but he absolutely is not.
“Yes I used to ask fans for twerking videos. Yes, twerking. The dance move.” No I thought you meant what every Newfie does everyday. “Yeah bud! I’m goin t’werk.”
I remember seeing him a few times outside of venues of the artists he would cover. One instance that's very clear in my mind was the following: A few bands that I liked were going to tour together. I went to their show in the city and when I was leaving the venue with my aunt, she pointed out a small crowd forming by the outskirts of the venue. It was a bunch of fans from his own music and from the bands that had just finished performing. She asked if he was one of the artists who performed and I told her he was a guy who made covers of the bands we just saw. The alarming thing we both noticed was that almost all of these fans were underage girls. He was taking pictures with them and hugging them while asking if anyone wanted to hang out with him. He was well over the age of 18 at this point, so I grabbed my aunt and ran to the valet to get our car immediately. On our way back home, we both couldn't put into words how uncomfortable we felt with what we saw. Unfortunately, I would then find out he would just stand outside of venues to meet his fans or go to popular places in the burbs of the city in hopes that someone would share his location to later on get his fans to flock to those places. It scares me to think that he would place himself in these areas to "meet" more fans. I hope we can stop more people like him, especially in this specific music scene.
I've been sexually assaulted as a kid, been suicidal and self harmed but not once did I think "man i should get kids to to twerk for me" so wtf was he on about
You forgot to mention the staging he chose for the apology video. Shot from a high angle to make himself look smaller. Wearing a plain, tight shirt to make him slight and non threatening. Tucking his arms in , taking on a weak, defensive, submissive appearance In a blue room (passive color, calming) with a picturesque view through the window. The walls, his shirt and the table are all bare so you focus on him. All designed for to engender a sympathetic appearance Seriously, a professional couldn't have staged this shoot better. Oh, and I think he shaved to make him look even younger and less threatening. (Not that he had to shave much anyway, i cant believe this guy was 26. He look 13 or 14, i guess that was part of his appeal)
Good observation but that's honestly too deep. You're giving the lad too much credit on thinking of everything for the apology video when really, he didn't. Also this was an actual event that happened, not some fictional live action stuff, so please don't over-analyze this as such because it makes the situation less serious.
@@DeathGripsIsOffline696 but he obviously used this setup for a reason and he chose to shoot it for a reason he really did set it up just like any other CZcamsr would do when they mess up
*Initially finds this channel from watching their take on Mini Ladd's actions* “Well, that was quite something, what else does TRO got in store?” *Watches this video* “I'm starting to see a pattern here that I'm not so sure I like.”
My 11 year old daughter was swimming last summer when her best friend took some pictures on her phone. Nothing pornographic, but in their one piece swimwear in the creek that passes through our land. My daughter is a very pretty girl, and she dresses and behaves modestly. The last thing she would do is send sexual pictures or videos to anyone. An older boy (16) convinced her friend to send the pictures to him. The boy spread those pictures around. My daughter was absolutely humiliated to the point she refused to go to school. Though the boy didn’t violate the law, he was expelled from the private school as he sent the pictures around at school. After reading the conversation between him and my daughter’s friend, it became clear how easy it can be to manipulate young girls. He praised her and built her up until the ‘ask’ and when she initially refused, he acted as though she was a hater, didn’t like him, and wasn’t his friend. That boy, like this scumbag Austin, are so dangerous. I hope Austin meets some new friends in prison, the kind that would love a soft, feminine ‘man’ to visit.
Jordan Breon actually he may have actually broke some laws (I have no law background so I could be wrong) but I believe spreading pictures of someone without their consent is actually against the law but like I said I could be wrong
Jeremiah Gibson She’s still extremely careful about photographs. Unless it is me or my wife taking pictures while swimming, she will not even do it if she sees someone using a camera or phone nearby.
Poor girl. One of the many, many reasons I am grateful that social media was not a thing during my adolescence. I cannot begin to imagine the social landmines presented by texting, DMs, twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Tik Tok, and on and on. That boy was/is a sleazeball and what compounds the awfulness of the whole thing is A) there are tons of boys JUST LIKE HIM and they grow into even sleazier, even creepier, even more aggressive men. And B) her fellow girls *SHOULD* have stood by her, uplifted her....and I am sure she has friends who did...but i have no doubt that there were toxic little gossips who were horrible to and about her. Teenage girls can be absolute monsters when it comes to judging, name calling, insulting, and demeaning fellow teenage girls. I am so sorry your baby girl has to endure this. At her age, she doesn't have the age and wisdom and life experience to understand that this will blow over and her life will continue. As a teen girl, embarrasments, heartbreaks, and betrayals hurt so much because it's the first time they're experiencing them, and it really does feel like "your life is over". I don't know what her school situation is, though with the pandemic, it's my understanding that all schools are online only. Hopefully all of this will pass quickly. Hopefully she has a few true friends who support her, uplift her, and understand her pain. She will likely carry scars from this for years to come, and that breaks my heart. I hope she is able to frame it as a learning experience- to guard herself a bit more, both physically and emotionally. It's a shame that we have to guard ourselves so much, but as a grown woman old enough to be her mom, my heart breaks for her. Praying she finds strength, courage, and wisdom from this awful thing.
I remember the morning in 2015 when I found out about what he did, I'm glad that Damon kept bringing the topic up and colected the statements from some of the minors that had contact with Jones,
It’s really weird to see a “scene kid” hairstyle on a 27 year old adult male... he looks like he’s straight out of 2006 and listens to “The Black Parade.”
how do they do it.. how do they get it to stay?? i’ve tried some pretty strong products, and nothing works for my straighter-than-my-family-wishes-i-was italian hair. and how the fuck is it going in every single direction at once? it hurts my brain to think about
"My videos are usually around 30 minutes." Oh ho ho, how that will change,past TRO. If you think he's the Pandora's box? You haven't even gotten to Avocado man yet.
I dont think you fully understand predators, there are still so many bad people on the internet looking for the vulnerable. they will never change, we have to teach our children on how to look for this and how to avoid falling into their trap. I got pulled into a trap like this when I was younger and my parents had taught me how to stay safe on the internet. The only reason he got caught is because he got too cocky about who he wanted to groom. If he had picked the "right" (as in the vulnerable people he wanted) girls he would have never been caught.
Bro Onision still has a channel. Austin Jones is literally the only CZcamsr who’s channel was deleted due to his predatory behavior, and that’s only because he was actually convicted. Predators are still out there.
lol y’all missed the entire point of this comment i’m not saying back then his behavior was justified i’m saying the internet nowadays has a tendency to hear something awful and actually act on it & hold creators with a platform accountable- something that is far different from how it was then. edit: as in the PEOPLE on the internet, not the large corporations (who technically have the power to remove them which they never will and that’s an actual issue) act on it. when videos and evidence came up about shane dawson, the overwhelming majority of people dropped him and refuse to support him (as they should), onision does NOT get the views he used to get because people have recognized his predatory behavior and purposefully stopped supporting him. all of this man’s fans CONTINUED to support him after all this came out, whereas today people hear about tony lopez (i think that’s his name) on tiktok and openly blast him and bring what he’s done to light because he’s predatory and that’s the internet culture we’ve created. :/ can you guys stop arguing with me now i was trying to make a lighthearted joke and now people have just been telling me i don’t understand anything about predators i know predators are still out there!! i’m saying if popular creators are abusing their platform to pressure minors into doing sexual favors for them nowadays... people won’t just turn a blind eye as they’ve done in the past
I was diagnosed with clinical depression years ago(I've recovered at this point) and I can say for certain that depression does *not* make you manipulate young girls into sending videos of them twerking.
I know this is rather a bad question to ask and it's cool that you got through depression but... what happened to you DURING depression? What went through your head during that time? How did you feel most of the time? If you don't want to, you don't need to tell me but I have a sneaking suspicion that my sibling has depression and I want to be sure before making any accusations.
@@jokeer722 if you want, I could tell you a bit about what I went through when I was depressed... Also, not everyone goes through the same things when we're depressed. Someone could still be really outgoing but be having a hard time or they could be showing a lot of symptoms, it really depends...
@@Karina-wc8id I'm just trying to make sure my sibling isn't going through it, or anyone else for that matter. I just want to see people's experience on the matter at hand to make sure . If you want to, then please do tell, but only if you're comfortable with telling anyone who reads our conversation.
I was born in 2000, and I was a kid interested in alternative music. I was 15, 16, 17, when his waves of fame were happening. It was confusing and conflicting and scary. Everything you've said in this video is extremely cathartic to hear, and I'm glad you spoke about it for longer than usual lol
I am also super impressed with the way that young girl defended herself. She was only 14 and she was so mature and competent in her responses to his manipulation, what a strong and intelligent young woman.
I agree. When I was that age, being manipulated by older men, I couldn't have dealt with it the way she did. I was a child and had no idea how to protect myself.
@@Fulcanis doesn't really make sense. in this instance you wouldn't need ideas on how to protect yourself, because not doing anything to begin with would already be the best protection
No one: Austin jones: My dad was a abusive werewolf, my mother sold broken shoelaces on the side of the road to feed me and my 8 siblings, 3 of them died from the plague and the other 4 suffered from polio. I was drafted into world war 4 with nothing more than a spatula and the clothes on my back to defend myself with. My bones are made of glass and my skin is as fragile as paper, every morning I break my arms and every evening I break my legs. Sunlight burns my eyes and I have been a type 2 diabetic after a sleep paralysis demon force fed me liquorice back in the summer of 69-
Yep! The more they say ‘it’s the testosterone’ or compare themselves to wild animals just following instincts, they’re creating their own generalizations.
I was practically scream laughing with every new tragedy he came up with. It was so cartoonish. If those things really did happen that's terrible....but in no sensible plane of existence is that a justifiable reason for being a pedophile
Like, you know how when you're drawing, you're supposed to have a starting point to make it more realistic? His hair doesn't have that point and it's so weird
This is my favourite TRO video so far because of the slowly building implicit anger/disgust in his voice, along with some of the ways he says things. “AgE?! WhO cArEs AbOuT aGe?
Omg when Austin says "I was desperate" I got such strong James Charles vibes when he made his apology video video and literally said "I'm Desperate". Birds of a feather I guess....... Ew..
This guy is a disgrace. Using his dead sister as a reason as to why he asks little girls to twerk for him is just wrong. "Oh woe is me, my sister died when I was 6, my parents divorced and my dad is a stereotypical abusive dad, and I self-harm!" what a bloody "disaster of a life", I lost someone I saw as a father figure when I was 8, my parents had a tough time when I was very young, before splitting (before I was 3 I'd say) and look at me, I'm not a paedo!
Just wanted to say, as someone who self harmed in the past (nearly three years clean now) when Austin said he would cut his wrists for pity points, I out loud said "fuck you." It pissed me off so much how he tried to correlate self harm with being a predator. I've done shitty things in my life too, not nearly as bad as Austin of course, but I've not once used it as an excuse for any of my actions, and this pinworm does not get to either.
from what i see he did not do it for pity directly, he tried to spin the narrative that he was a victim of his circumstances and tried to prove it through pointing that out, however it does not really sit well with people when they are perseptive enough to see through the act
Jones's defense in court was that he was a victim of sexual assault himself. And the judge was like "Then you had the understanding to not commit the crime" LMAO good to know the judge saw through the manipulation EDIT 6 months later: Okay so I've been getting replies about the fact that sexual assault victims often continue the cycle themselves. That's just the thing: it's a cycle. If they are aware of the cycle, then they know it is wrong and that they shouldn't continue it. If they are unaware/think that sexual abuse is not wrong, then yes, that is a mitigating circumstance. Austin is the first instance. He knew what he was doing was wrong, and he loved it. He was just trying to gain sympathy points to manipulate the judge into giving him a lighter sentence.
I love watching your videos whenever I knit. You're an amazing creator who definitely has too much time on their hands. Thank you for being apart of the perfect distraction on my bad days.
Props to the girl that stood up for herself against this creep and why dopes his hair look like a birds nest? Also the excuse that "Oh I experienced loss at a young age so that's why I'm like this" is absolute hogwash. Like dude most people experience deaths at a young age, plenty of people loose a parent, plenty of people have trauma, plenty of people have depression and mental illness and the overwhelming majority of those people don't go out to try an engage in inappropriate actions with minors. There will never be an excuse for an adult is seeking out explicit photographs and videos of minors. There's no reason an adult should attempt to start an explicit conversation with a minor and there's certainly no excuse to try and touch one.

its never too long dude i love your content and the longer it is, the BETTER.
it's okay
I didn't even realise it was an hour long video during the premiere haha, loved the video keep up the great work!!

Perhaps his accomplishments are in alphabetical order? Fame is an empty purse.

@@annawimpey5307 if they were in alphabetical order order, I think that former musician would’ve come first. I thing the “American” part is separate from “sex offender”.

Because if you quote the whole sentence your rebutal makes no sense , if " i can understand how some humans become killers " how am i not able to adress the reasons one would be a killer ?
Here let me take a shot at what you are doing :
" People like you are the problem, people who don't care " about truth , but only want to be right about everything , and be judgmental about anyone that dare oppose you .... making assumption to feel better about their conclusion wihout even asking people to clarify their views , this type of toxic behavior is THE PROBLEM with society !

A 27 year old trying to look 15 years old is the first red flag 🙄
No kidding! If you told me he was 27 I wouldn't believe you, he looks younger than my 23yo sister.
I'm 28 but get told all the time i look 17 & it bothers me. I don't go out of my way to look younger, i just have a babyface & can't grow facial hair very well. This dude is garbage & purposely tries to make himself look younger. It's sick af.
Wow, I didn't realise he was that old..
Mmm nope no it isn't what matters is context
Oh wasn't he 18?
"He wanted to get to know the person. Through the medium of... twerking." is possible the best line TRO has ever written.
The way he treated these girls is exactly the way I was treated by predators at the 14. It’s like there’s some kind of textbook they were all learning from. I was blamed by my parents for the whole thing, and no one stood up for me. My whole life I’ve struggled to view what happened to me as anything other than just suffering the consequences of my actions. Hearing you drag Austin through the mud for nearly identical behavior to my predators and finding out that he was sentenced so harshly is so… validating. This video has done so much to help me genuinely accept what happened wasn’t somehow my fault.
I'm so sorry you went through that. Your parents are wrong. At 14, you were legally and morally incapable of giving informed consent. Nothing that happened was your fault. You were a victim, and only your predator is to blame for taking advantage of a child. I hope you'll be able to grow past this someday and find peace. Stay strong. ❤
I hope you feel better now than you did back then
Your parents should’ve listened and you didn’t deserve to go though anything so bad as a predator, it’s never your fault and don’t let the manipulation take your guard down
Always stay safe and always tell people if anything happens, I hope you never have to go though anything of the sorts ever again
I want you to recover and have a wonderful partner if that’s what you want and know that you can do whatever you want with your life
Have a good day and don’t ever let someone do something bad, although it’s not your fault just stay safe because we need to stand together and report these predators!
Remember to stick to your guns and never second guess yourself ❤
I am so sorry this happened to you. I have a 7 year old daughter and this really makes me feel like I need to find ways to protect her. Maybe your parents' reaction is their way to try to avoid the unbearable guilt of admitting that they did not protect you as they should have. Not saying this justifies them, but maybe it can help you to think that deep inside, it is not that they think you did wrong, but rather that they cannot cope with the idea that they did. Unfortunately, we parents are just people, and not all people are moral rocks 😕 And you know what? Ultimately how they feel is not your problem, it is theirs. You did nothing to deserve what happened and that's what you need to stick to.
Oh my god, me too 😭 I went through it aswell CONSTANTLY from about 11 - 12.
May peace always find you whenever you need it most.
So this is Austin’s Apology:
“I was born with glass bones and paper skin, every morning I break my legs, and every afternoon I break my arms.”
the only way he gets by is selling chocolate 😔 (those suckers)
“Every night I lie awake in agony till my heart attacks put me to sleep”
LMAO! too good
Well now his fellow inmates will do the breaking for him.
I'll break them for him 100x a day
the 14y/o girl in the DMs did an amazing job standing up for herself and refusing, props to her for sticking to her guns
I know right.
Good for her she’s smart
Someone taught that girl about creeps, and they did it well
Whoever raised her should be proud. They raised a smart and sensible young lady. I hope she keeps that stubbornness and that tenacity, because she’ll go so far in life!
Had a similar situation. I'm 14 as well, and had a dude slide into my dms. I knew what he want, but I played along trying to act clueless. Until he asked "wanna see something cool?" And I knew it was gonna be a dick pic, I just showed him a picture of the middle finger I saved from Google and sent it to him as my reply. He was mad lmfao. But I educated him anyway since there were apparently a LOT of underaged girls he followed on Instagram. Long story short, I verbally abused him until he left me alone.
As someone who has dealt with depression, to the point of self-harm, and suicidal thoughts, his apology video made me so angry. He was using a mental illness as an EXCUSE. You can’t use depression as an excuse because unless you are out of your mind/unable to determine right from wrong, you have control over your actions. He did these things deliberately and used being depressed as an excuse. I have seen manipulation and he was dripping with it.
He’s gonna look real pretty in jail ngl probably gonna make him twerk
i found his apology funny bc he really came up with the most absurd excuses for “depression”. He went to multiple funerals at a young age for people he didn’t know? BYE that ain’t gonna give you depression try harder babe🫶🏻
literally?
The fact that he went on and on in so much detail pisses me off. It was so drawn out and obvious he was trying really hard to make people feel bad for him. I've had addiction issues and a few mental health issues most of my life. And as a result have been toxic. But you just have to admit you did wrong, feel remorse and move on rather than trying to manipulate others into forgiving you because you were suicidal. Like at least I can say I never negged teenagers into sending me explicit content. Jesus Christ
His whole arguement is "I lost people so thats why im a child groomer"
He is just creating excuses
Me personally my mom dying did not make me suddenly feel attracted to little kids

People have this weird mindset that predators are going to LOOK like creeps; like nah they just have to BE creeps. Not only that, lotsa predators get away without even getting investigated cuz they don't "look the part" due to this mindset. Thankfully I've seen more ppl wake up to the fact that attractive ppl can be predators recently
I mean like from the bottom of my heart sincerely he DOES look like a creep. most grown ass adults that mainly have teen fanbases and follow teen styles/haircuts/trends LOOK LIKE CREEPS. at least from the perspective of a 25 year old.

that could mean that his sister used to-
@@tsukikagepanda4825 True. But it could also, from a psychological viewpoint, "just" mean that he was very emotionally attached to his sister / hasn't gotten over her death.
It's actually not that uncommon. Sometimes people who lose a parent early, for example, later seek out partners that resemble that parent (in type or personality or both) if it correlates with their sexuality. And normally that's not about "having had a weird relationship with that parent", but just about subconsciously wanting to replace that connection or idealizing the deceased. Normally being the keyword. Obviously, there can be more to it.
Either way, I don't find it incredibly far-fetched that his - well, whatever you wanna call that predatory tendency - stems from that incident. It does make a certain degree of "sense". Not an excuse though, obviously. Having those abnormal urges, maybe not, but acting on them instead of seeking out help that's a choice this guy made.
HOL UP
This can be taken in many different ways
@@Tshyld 👀
I think what makes me the angriest about his "apology" is how he blamed his pedophilia on his depression, his grandfather and father's death, and other tragedies in his past. It's honestly disgusting and I feel bad for his family who not only has to deal with being related to him but watching him use their loved one's deaths as an excuse of asking minors for twerking videos
My father left at 5, my mother passed away at 7, I was physically abused for 4 years after that, 2 years later at 13 I was stabbed, I’ve had pain and when people use pain of lose etc to make excuses for their abhorrent behavior is disgusting and cowardly

@@ashleewhittlesey7874 rip his skin off ?
As someone medically diagnosed with depression as well as general anxiety, depression for me makes me too tired to even think of anything. I think of terrible things to happen to myself most of the time and rarely do I ever think about manipulating other people. I know it’s different for many other people but I’m sure one thing many of us can agree on is that depression doesn’t cause us to ask for random videos of people twerking.
He’s really blaming his being a predator on cutting himself, and his depression?
I have depression, I have scar tissue all over my body from self harm. I’m not a predator. His “depression story” is the same story thousands of non-predators have.
Parents divorced? ✔️
Father is a disappointment? ✔️
Death of grandfather? ✔️
The only thing he might have on people is the death of his sibling, and I’m sure that took its toll. But it’s not like he’s the only one who’s had a sibling die. And, I’m willing to bet that those who have had this unfortunate scenario play out aren’t predators because of it.

I am not certain how requesting "twerk" videos from girls younger than 18 relates to all of those situations he described...? Insecurity and depression do not lead to manipulation of adolescents. That is not a one to one conversion. This dude really had an opportunity with this video where he apologizes and ruined it at every possibility.

Mini lad type beat
I remember seeing him a few times outside of venues of the artists he would cover. One instance that's very clear in my mind was the following:
A few bands that I liked were going to tour together. I went to their show in the city and when I was leaving the venue with my aunt, she pointed out a small crowd forming by the outskirts of the venue. It was a bunch of fans from his own music and from the bands that had just finished performing. She asked if he was one of the artists who performed and I told her he was a guy who made covers of the bands we just saw. The alarming thing we both noticed was that almost all of these fans were underage girls. He was taking pictures with them and hugging them while asking if anyone wanted to hang out with him. He was well over the age of 18 at this point, so I grabbed my aunt and ran to the valet to get our car immediately. On our way back home, we both couldn't put into words how uncomfortable we felt with what we saw. Unfortunately, I would then find out he would just stand outside of venues to meet his fans or go to popular places in the burbs of the city in hopes that someone would share his location to later on get his fans to flock to those places. It scares me to think that he would place himself in these areas to "meet" more fans.
I hope we can stop more people like him, especially in this specific music scene.
I've been sexually assaulted as a kid, been suicidal and self harmed but not once did I think "man i should get kids to to twerk for me" so wtf was he on about
You forgot to mention the staging he chose for the apology video.
Shot from a high angle to make himself look smaller.
Wearing a plain, tight shirt to make him slight and non threatening.
Tucking his arms in , taking on a weak, defensive, submissive appearance
In a blue room (passive color, calming) with a picturesque view through the window.
The walls, his shirt and the table are all bare so you focus on him.
All designed for to engender a sympathetic appearance
Seriously, a professional couldn't have staged this shoot better.
Oh, and I think he shaved to make him look even younger and less threatening. (Not that he had to shave much anyway, i cant believe this guy was 26. He look 13 or 14, i guess that was part of his appeal)
26!? The fuck
Wow nice comment. Quite observant!
Good observation! I noticed a few of those things myself ;)
Good observation but that's honestly too deep. You're giving the lad too much credit on thinking of everything for the apology video when really, he didn't.

My 11 year old daughter was swimming last summer when her best friend took some pictures on her phone. Nothing pornographic, but in their one piece swimwear in the creek that passes through our land. My daughter is a very pretty girl, and she dresses and behaves modestly. The last thing she would do is send sexual pictures or videos to anyone.
An older boy (16) convinced her friend to send the pictures to him. The boy spread those pictures around. My daughter was absolutely humiliated to the point she refused to go to school. Though the boy didn’t violate the law, he was expelled from the private school as he sent the pictures around at school. After reading the conversation between him and my daughter’s friend, it became clear how easy it can be to manipulate young girls. He praised her and built her up until the ‘ask’ and when she initially refused, he acted as though she was a hater, didn’t like him, and wasn’t his friend.
That boy, like this scumbag Austin, are so dangerous. I hope Austin meets some new friends in prison, the kind that would love a soft, feminine ‘man’ to visit.
Jordan Breon wow. I hope your little girl is okay these days and that boy got what was coming to him. I’m so sorry that happened to her.
Jordan Breon actually he may have actually broke some laws (I have no law background so I could be wrong) but I believe spreading pictures of someone without their consent is actually against the law but like I said I could be wrong
Jeremiah Gibson She’s still extremely careful about photographs. Unless it is me or my wife taking pictures while swimming, she will not even do it if she sees someone using a camera or phone nearby.
Pretty sure his butt is the one twerking in the prison
Poor girl. One of the many, many reasons I am grateful that social media was not a thing during my adolescence. I cannot begin to imagine the social landmines presented by texting, DMs, twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Tik Tok, and on and on. That boy was/is a sleazeball and what compounds the awfulness of the whole thing is A) there are tons of boys JUST LIKE HIM and they grow into even sleazier, even creepier, even more aggressive men. And B) her fellow girls *SHOULD* have stood by her, uplifted her....and I am sure she has friends who did...but i have no doubt that there were toxic little gossips who were horrible to and about her. Teenage girls can be absolute monsters when it comes to judging, name calling, insulting, and demeaning fellow teenage girls.
I am so sorry your baby girl has to endure this. At her age, she doesn't have the age and wisdom and life experience to understand that this will blow over and her life will continue. As a teen girl, embarrasments, heartbreaks, and betrayals hurt so much because it's the first time they're experiencing them, and it really does feel like "your life is over".
I don't know what her school situation is, though with the pandemic, it's my understanding that all schools are online only. Hopefully all of this will pass quickly. Hopefully she has a few true friends who support her, uplift her, and understand her pain. She will likely carry scars from this for years to come, and that breaks my heart. I hope she is able to frame it as a learning experience- to guard herself a bit more, both physically and emotionally. It's a shame that we have to guard ourselves so much, but as a grown woman old enough to be her mom, my heart breaks for her. Praying she finds strength, courage, and wisdom from this awful thing.
Man, regardless of who they’re on, the haircuts of this time were absurd
I remember the morning in 2015 when I found out about what he did, I'm glad that Damon kept bringing the topic up and colected the statements from some of the minors that had contact with Jones,
all the drama aside, his hair makes me SO uncomfortable. it looks like it's glued or something
SerienOfficial ! It looks like a toupee
I definitely remember everyone having that hair but not in 2015
It’s really weird to see a “scene kid” hairstyle on a 27 year old adult male... he looks like he’s straight out of 2006 and listens to “The Black Parade.”
Don’t be rude. He just accidentally put his wig on sideways.
how do they do it.. how do they get it to stay?? i’ve tried some pretty strong products, and nothing works for my straighter-than-my-family-wishes-i-was italian hair. and how the fuck is it going in every single direction at once? it hurts my brain to think about
He's hardly a heartthrob. That hair makes him look like a tool.
If you google lego man it kind of looks like that ha
lol, this has me cracking up
Long live Bowie!!
his eyesssss- also that autocorrected to eyes sus sooo
He looks vat grown.

lol this dude wouldn't survive a SECOND on the internet today
I dont think you fully understand predators, there are still so many bad people on the internet looking for the vulnerable. they will never change, we have to teach our children on how to look for this and how to avoid falling into their trap. I got pulled into a trap like this when I was younger and my parents had taught me how to stay safe on the internet. The only reason he got caught is because he got too cocky about who he wanted to groom. If he had picked the "right" (as in the vulnerable people he wanted) girls he would have never been caught.
Honestly, I’m amazed he got away with it back then.
Bro Onision still has a channel. Austin Jones is literally the only CZcamsr who’s channel was deleted due to his predatory behavior, and that’s only because he was actually convicted. Predators are still out there.
lol y’all missed the entire point of this comment i’m not saying back then his behavior was justified i’m saying the internet nowadays has a tendency to hear something awful and actually act on it & hold creators with a platform accountable- something that is far different from how it was then.
edit: as in the PEOPLE on the internet, not the large corporations (who technically have the power to remove them which they never will and that’s an actual issue) act on it. when videos and evidence came up about shane dawson, the overwhelming majority of people dropped him and refuse to support him (as they should), onision does NOT get the views he used to get because people have recognized his predatory behavior and purposefully stopped supporting him. all of this man’s fans CONTINUED to support him after all this came out, whereas today people hear about tony lopez (i think that’s his name) on tiktok and openly blast him and bring what he’s done to light because he’s predatory and that’s the internet culture we’ve created. :/ can you guys stop arguing with me now i was trying to make a lighthearted joke and now people have just been telling me i don’t understand anything about predators i know predators are still out there!! i’m saying if popular creators are abusing their platform to pressure minors into doing sexual favors for them nowadays... people won’t just turn a blind eye as they’ve done in the past
Lmao yall in the replies are oddly defensive and for what?
Funny enough, this guy got into my DM’s too. I ignored the first few messages and then he said “Austin sad:(“ so I replied with “good” and blocked him
I hope that all of his victims are doing well nowadays. Respect for the 14yo who held her ground.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression years ago(I've recovered at this point) and I can say for certain that depression does *not* make you manipulate young girls into sending videos of them twerking.
correct
I know this is rather a bad question to ask and it's cool that you got through depression but... what happened to you DURING depression? What went through your head during that time? How did you feel most of the time?
If you don't want to, you don't need to tell me but I have a sneaking suspicion that my sibling has depression and I want to be sure before making any accusations.
@@jokeer722 suicide
@@jokeer722 if you want, I could tell you a bit about what I went through when I was depressed...
Also, not everyone goes through the same things when we're depressed. Someone could still be really outgoing but be having a hard time or they could be showing a lot of symptoms, it really depends...
@@Karina-wc8id I'm just trying to make sure my sibling isn't going through it, or anyone else for that matter. I just want to see people's experience on the matter at hand to make sure .
If you want to, then please do tell, but only if you're comfortable with telling anyone who reads our conversation.
"he's not just a pretty face" he looks like he drank expired water
Bless you, I will probably use that burn in real life now
absolutely expired
This made me actually laugh out loud
You, my friend, are a genius. Take my like and reply.
Also, Austin Jones looks like the kinda person who didn't dealt it when he smelt it.
I swear he couldnt hit water if he fell out of a fucking bout
I was born in 2000, and I was a kid interested in alternative music. I was 15, 16, 17, when his waves of fame were happening. It was confusing and conflicting and scary. Everything you've said in this video is extremely cathartic to hear, and I'm glad you spoke about it for longer than usual lol
“Im a fan of a lot of people then” my favorite line
I am also super impressed with the way that young girl defended herself. She was only 14 and she was so mature and competent in her responses to his manipulation, what a strong and intelligent young woman.
I agree. When I was that age, being manipulated by older men, I couldn't have dealt with it the way she did. I was a child and had no idea how to protect myself.

No one:
Austin jones:
My dad was a abusive werewolf, my mother sold broken shoelaces on the side of the road to feed me and my 8 siblings, 3 of them died from the plague and the other 4 suffered from polio. I was drafted into world war 4 with nothing more than a spatula and the clothes on my back to defend myself with. My bones are made of glass and my skin is as fragile as paper, every morning I break my arms and every evening I break my legs. Sunlight burns my eyes and I have been a type 2 diabetic after a sleep paralysis demon force fed me liquorice back in the summer of 69-
And that's why I want to 69 six to nine years old
This is it chief.
This comment needs some sort of reward, I can't stop laughing.
What’s wrong with liquorice
And at night I cry in agony until my heart attacks make me fall asleep
I would DIE to have a career like him (As a rock/punk/metal singer) and he threw it away
His hair looks like he is wearing a wig backwards.
"Sorry i'm a guy"
...... *pathetic*
We don't claim him
idk man, you look like Asra 🤔
we girls don't claim him ether
non binary folk we sure hecking dont

"Sowwie I'm a man." This is why men who aren't sexual predators seem to always get coupled in with men who are...
Oh God youre right
wryyyyyy
YUP
That makes so much sense when you think about it
Yep! The more they say ‘it’s the testosterone’ or compare themselves to wild animals just following instincts, they’re creating their own generalizations.
8:10 why did I think of the medic from tf2 typing this on his keyboard trying to trick Austin to go to Germany so he could steal his organs.
Step one of spotting a fake apology:
"Oh woe is me, my life was so hard, the hate is so hard, im so depressed, pity me pleas :(("
"I know I blew that orphanage up but I was depressed"
AlmightyJello Step 2: I'm sorry *you got upset*
I was practically scream laughing with every new tragedy he came up with. It was so cartoonish. If those things really did happen that's terrible....but in no sensible plane of existence is that a justifiable reason for being a pedophile
Who the hell took the likes past 420?
basically every youtuber apology

We do not stan TRO, we simply admire his skill of attention to detail and facts
And his gaming prowess
This is my favourite TRO video so far because of the slowly building implicit anger/disgust in his voice, along with some of the ways he says things. “AgE?! WhO cArEs AbOuT aGe?
"yEs tWerKinG tHe dAnceMoVe"

Omg when Austin says "I was desperate" I got such strong James Charles vibes when he made his apology video video and literally said "I'm Desperate". Birds of a feather I guess....... Ew..
I went to so many of his concerts when I was 14-15. He got handsy at the meet and greets and was always staring at all the young girls.

This guy is a disgrace. Using his dead sister as a reason as to why he asks little girls to twerk for him is just wrong. "Oh woe is me, my sister died when I was 6, my parents divorced and my dad is a stereotypical abusive dad, and I self-harm!" what a bloody "disaster of a life", I lost someone I saw as a father figure when I was 8, my parents had a tough time when I was very young, before splitting (before I was 3 I'd say) and look at me, I'm not a paedo!
He’s gonna look real pretty in jail ngl probably gonna make him twerk
Just wanted to say, as someone who self harmed in the past (nearly three years clean now) when Austin said he would cut his wrists for pity points, I out loud said "fuck you." It pissed me off so much how he tried to correlate self harm with being a predator. I've done shitty things in my life too, not nearly as bad as Austin of course, but I've not once used it as an excuse for any of my actions, and this pinworm does not get to either.
from what i see he did not do it for pity directly, he tried to spin the narrative that he was a victim of his circumstances and tried to prove it through pointing that out, however it does not really sit well with people when they are perseptive enough to see through the act
"why did this happen"
"so basically a lot of people died and i became a pedo"
As you do.
Hate it when it happens
The logic is 0

Please twerk to heal my depression
Jones's defense in court was that he was a victim of sexual assault himself. And the judge was like "Then you had the understanding to not commit the crime" LMAO good to know the judge saw through the manipulation
EDIT 6 months later: Okay so I've been getting replies about the fact that sexual assault victims often continue the cycle themselves. That's just the thing: it's a cycle. If they are aware of the cycle, then they know it is wrong and that they shouldn't continue it. If they are unaware/think that sexual abuse is not wrong, then yes, that is a mitigating circumstance. Austin is the first instance. He knew what he was doing was wrong, and he loved it. He was just trying to gain sympathy points to manipulate the judge into giving him a lighter sentence.
"why did you run over a baby"
"oh well when I WAS A BABY-"
Even if he was to be taken seriously for his claim of being abused in the past, bringing that up as a defense in court is just laughable.
@@iwakeupandboomimarat then he'd know how annoying those little shits are

-But i was assaulted at 7 too!
I love watching your videos whenever I knit. You're an amazing creator who definitely has too much time on their hands. Thank you for being apart of the perfect distraction on my bad days.
Props to the girl that stood up for herself against this creep and why dopes his hair look like a birds nest? Also the excuse that "Oh I experienced loss at a young age so that's why I'm like this" is absolute hogwash. Like dude most people experience deaths at a young age, plenty of people loose a parent, plenty of people have trauma, plenty of people have depression and mental illness and the overwhelming majority of those people don't go out to try an engage in inappropriate actions with minors. There will never be an excuse for an adult is seeking out explicit photographs and videos of minors. There's no reason an adult should attempt to start an explicit conversation with a minor and there's certainly no excuse to try and touch one.
