A popular influencer and YouTube creator known as “Mr. Crafty Pants” was busted for allegedly possessing and trading disturbing sexual images of children on social media, according to reports.
Michael David Booth — who has nearly 600,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel featuring arts and crafts tutorials with smart cutting machines — was arrested Wednesday in Kentucky after repeatedly sharing the sickening images on the social media messaging app Kik, Wave News reported.
The twisted online personality allegedly possessed six explicit photos — three showing children under the age of 12 and the others depicting teens — which he shared more than 15 times with other users between Aug. 4 and Aug. 7, according to an arrest report obtained by the outlet.
Police said they launched their probe into the depraved 39-year-old in August after the social app flagged his account, which was traced to an IP address linked to Booth’s Norton Commons home.
“It’s scary to think what he could have had access to,” his neighbor, Laura Nash, told the outlet, adding that she immediately asked her children if they had ever interacted with the creep after he was arrested.
