Austin Jones, a YouTube star styled as a combination of circa-2005 “Hey There Delilah” side-swept pixie cut and skinny jeans which scream “sensitive soul”–also famed for his YouTube acapella covers of awesome bands like My Chemical Romance, Panic! At the Disco, and Fall Out Boy–whose music is described on MySpace as “earnest, emo-influenced melodic pop music”–who is also a 24-year-old male–was arrested yesterday for two counts of child pornography. He allegedly asked two female fans of around 14 years old to send him nude videos, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. He was arrested in Chicago on Monday shortly after returning from a concert in Poland.
One of the girls claimed that he’d asked her to “expose herself,” telling him that she was “only 14.” Another sent eight videos “exposing her genitals.” Jones at first claimed that he’d only asked for “twerking videos,” but once arrested, he admitted to “receiving videos from the victims, and he admitted it was for sexual pleasure,” reports the Chicago Sun-Times.
