Youtuber Claims Online Pedophile Ring Operates Freely On Youtube

YouTuber Matt Watson exposed what he called a “wormhole into a soft-core pedophilia ring” on the video streaming platform, in a video uploaded Sunday.

Watson’s video claimed to reveal a not-so-underground YouTube community of adults who encourage very young children to upload videos of themselves in compromising situations and positions, often in the form of “yoga challenges,” trampoline sessions, gymnastics moves or eating Popsicles.

These users, some of whom have usernames that blatantly reference pedophilia, leave both veiled and explicit sexual comments on the children’s videos, as well as linked timestamps meant to direct other viewers to particularly revealing moments within the video.
