KZbin eldest creators are a beacon of positivity in often cynical realm of the internet. Be it an old-timer giving sage life advice, or a grandmother showcasing recipes, KZbin's older creators tend to be more on the...wholesome side. You know, the grandma and grandpa's of the internet. But...on at least two occasions these creators have been responsible for disturbing crimes, and keeping dirty secrets from their viewers. Today we will be looking at some of KZbin's most controversial seniors and their criminal pasts.

i mean, age does matter with kids and teens, they psychologically cannot agree or consent no matter what, but yeah, I agree that any unwanted physical contact (or anything with being pressured to send pms) is unwanted, especially with adults.

[@cutthroatindigo]

I’m sorry but it does. An act like that being committed upon a child is much worse. Plus woman nowadays will sleep with a man, regret it later, then claim false r*pe. The age of the victim does matter. If you commit acts like this upon a child you should get MORE time.

[@cdrunner7876]

I used to work at a retirement home that housed mostly mentally ill residents. One of the residents seemed like a kind man and easy to talk too. The senior always mentioned his “lovely daughters” and how he missed them. I noticed he never got a visit from his daughters so I asked around about it and a coworker told me that he molested his daughters back in the 70s. Still gives me chills.

[@funnelvortex7722]

[@Cyan1deCandy]

Reminds me of a story my friend told me. At the time, she was still studying to become an RN and was working at nursing homes over the summers. The story was pretty similar but I can't remember the specifics. Anyways, the man was talking to his wife (not the mother of his children - she had divorced him) while my friend was in the room. He said something along the lines of, "Oh, she's so beautiful. Doesn't she look a lot like *daughter's name that he molested.*" My friend didn't know about the molestation at the time until she asked why the daughter wouldn't visit. Edit: I should probably also add this. She didn't ask the man or his wife, she asked one of her coworkers.

[@user-zf2ru4eq4w]

I use to work for a security agency and was posted as the late-night security guard for a place called Catholic Charities. It is basically Hospice but also a local elderly home. One thing I was trained on for that site is to expect calls from the elderly being self-entitled and would always try to get away with things by blaming their age and in their mind, they believe it to be true and may not be aware of it. There were two residents like that but one of them actually knew what he did. I say did because they both passed away while I worked there. One of them use to call 911 and would verbally harass the nurses. It got so bad the Baltimore city captain for that local department came down to investigate. So, he, the building supervisor for the building I patrolled, and I came up with a system. If 911is called; then the security would contact the supervisor to investigate the room and the resident. If there is an emergency, then security would say it is. That one resident had to be in his own room because he would also harass the other residents. As it turned out after talking to his daughter and son in law after he passed away, he was placed there because no other healthcare facilities wanted him or kicked him out because of his history with harassment and the falsified 911 calls in addition to calling to the main lobby front desk demanding a security guard to come to his room and meals throughout the night. Sad part is I also found out that he most likely did that because his own family did not want to visit him.

[@notagainandagain]

Exactly. My mom works at a rehabilitation center that predominantly has elderly folks there and kinda doubles as an old folks home. She's been there for years and seen people come and go ('expire') and has come home plenty of times talking about how cruel a lot of them can be, especially the older men who don't respect her and other women or male nurses. Ive even helped out as a volunteer once during Christmas passing out gifts, and i remember a good few being straight up rude about not getting 'good' gifts and even attempting to curse me out for bringing them. Others say sexual things and try to touch you but then act innocent when you call them out. They know they can get away with it by acting fragile when the higher ups are asked for help dealing with them.

[@MrRobster1234]

That is a very good point, but you can't assume that all your charges are a certain way.

[@monaeallsup6140]

[@MarquisDeSang]

or under 21

[@rashira9610]

I mean here in Michigan the age of consent is 16, and I think it's the same for Ohio. The person Don groped could have been legally old enough to consent to sex and only considered a juvenile because they weren't 18 yet, which at that point would make the main problem end up being the fact that Don Imposed on the person without permission. Everyone sees the word Juvenile and just assumes "small little child" but nobody on here actually knows what happened.

Honorable Mention: Robert Krampf AKA The Happy Scientist. He was an educational youtuber that posted informative and really cool science videos, ranging from demonstrations and experiments to simple education and knowledge of how certain things work. His videos were often used by teachers in lessons and classes. He seemed like a stand up guy and even got featured on several talk shows. However, his home was raided and his computer was discovered with over 50 GB of CP. He was arrested and found guilty. His channel was almost immediately terminated and even reuploads of his videos were purged. KZbin wants this guy to completely be forgotten, as he should be

[@youtube-kit9450]

This is honestly something I never get about these pedos. When they have CP on their PC or something, it never is like a vid or two, it always is like ten thousands or pictures or double-triple digit gigabytes of CP, it's like they are "eh, I'm a pedo, might as well absolutely hoard the everloving shit out of it" or something

[@darkjapan]

I followed a guy on Quora who would post lots of interesting articles about life and his time in prison. I found his articles quite inspiring. He never mentioned what his crime was, but due to his knowledge of accounting and computers I assumed it was financial fraud. He refers to it as "another man's crime" in his bio, so figured he had taken the fall for someone. I eventually Googled his name, because it's quite unique. It turns out he was arrested with more than 14,000 images of child pornography on his computer. His wife turned him in when she found it on their home computer. Now I feel like an idiot. There are actually lots of sex offenders on Quora it seems, but naturally few of them want to talk openly about their crimes.

She'd also get really into Christmas and Halloween and would always have lots of cool decorations and treats for the kids regardless of if they were "too old for trick or treating." I was always too introverted to really make friends with her, but I always appreciated the things she did for the neighborhood kids. We had moved away and a couple years later I'm scrolling a "sex offender near me" website thing for...fun? Out of curiosity? I don't know. I type in my address at that time, then start looking at my old addresses. She was there. I then looked her up on the actual website. She raped a boy between the age of 8 and 11, she also got a charge for either raping him with a foreign object as well, or a complete other boy. It was kind of hard to understand the legal text. Anyway, really messed me up. Always makes me wonder if she had been taking advantage of any other kids. I mean, sometimes she'd carpool kids around. I think one of the things that really grossed me out was that she had this bright beaming smile in each of her sex offender registry photos. She just seemed so happy to smile and have her picture taken. That same smile she would direct at all the neighborhood kids...

[@gumshoe1285]

I know what you mean There was a priest who was in charge of my local parish Who was recently taken into police custody for sexual assault/misconduct(?? or something like that) and it shocked me because he was like you said always smiling at kids. I remember one time that stuck with me was our school was doing a practice of a school play (I think) and afterwards since it was a small Parish the school needed lifts to help move students to the church and back to the school. And so the priest obviously offered to help out. And I remember he asked some girls to help him move stuff back to his house and I remember he brought four or five girls back to his house to "help-out" I have reason to believe he raped them but I don't know for sure. I still wonder if he did or didn't abuse them. at the time I wanted to go too to help out to be useful, I'm glad now looking back that I never went through that door with them. I still feel sorry for those girls too.

The second story is definitely something. Unfortunately, we can't be 100% certain that the guy never had more than one offense, and we can't be certain that he never offended again. We also can't be certain about what his true motives for trying to dodge the registry were. If we take his story at face value, then it does sound like the tale of a guy who made a mistake in his life, he overcame those urges and moved past that mistake, and then was forced to constantly keep moving away from various locations due to harassment until he eventually got thrown in prison where he died. But there could always be more to the story that we can't see.

Ed’s story is indeed different from Don who was using his KZbin channel to interact with kids. If Ed indeed never vomited the crime again and lived isolated only with his channel as a human connection then I guess I do feel sorry for him. He didn’t seem to try to contact anyone on private and his content seemed innocent and I believe he was aware that his channel was monitored so I doubt he had any intention to do the same as Don, just a lonely man trying to find some joy in the life he stupidly screwed up by himself and ruined another’s, anyway a very morally complex case. I don’t know if his victim forgive him or not but it seems that he paid for what he did his entire life at least there’s that which is much more anyone from Hollywood p*do ring will pay and for far more horrible crimes that many never ceased on doing with their victims being far too afraid to speak.

We can believe that he was innocent or we can assume he just wasn't able to make a very good defense in court. I dunno. I wasn't there. Fwiw though, I didn't get that vibe from him.

But if no context is given before saying it, most people are going to assume the person means it sexually because of how many people use it for that nowadays. Which ended up proving to be true in his case, so the concern when hearing that out of context is pretty understandable. I don't really need to know that the person got in trouble for something to feel comfortable when I hear that phrase. Unless I *know* it's in a different context. The context you're applying here is a different situation that wasn't clarified in his case.

You don’t know that Ed never reoffended? How can you come to that conclusion? He assaulted a minor and then tried to dodge people knowing about it, taking away their choice to have their family living near a predator

"Age is just a number, nothing will stop my hunger" Really? No one saw that kind of red flag?

[@kuromi2880]

24:35 i don't think you understand what being sexually assaulted does to someone. I get what you mean, seeing an old man get his hobby taken away is sad and all, but this old man traumatized someone and may have ruined their life. I don't have any sympathy for him, he did this to himself.

[@Africa893]

yes but the issue here is: does putting him through all that decades later, after he hadn't reoffended all that time, change anything at all for the victim?

[@seadog2.0]

I agree but here’s one problem with that. He did it decades before he started KZbin. He shouldn’t be punished for something he did decades ago and he did his time

[@Spinogrl2000]

@@Africa893 As someone who was assaulted as a teen, I have to agree. It is commendable when people prone to these vile compulsions learn to control it. It's not an overnight thing, like "I offended but I'm better now, teehee!" I've never had the urge myself, but I have had my vices I had to wrestle away from, and it takes a lot of mental work to reign yourself in. Ironically, I would put a lot of the physiological dependence I had on alcohol as a coping mechanism for never truly processing my trauma. I suppose my point is that while I don't necessarily think all offenders can be rehabilitated, those that can should face their punishment and be allowed to try and rebuild themselves into a better being, and that a lot of people have something dark preying on their minds (some things worse than others, obviously) that they have to beat down. If we won't allow them that, we might as well just chuck them feet first into a woodchipper (which is what I would recommend for those who can't be rehabilitated. Yay saving tax dollars!).

The depressing thing about old people with bad/creepy content is that they won't have that much time left to turn it around. They will die as a hated old guy and will be laughing it up that his recently discovered secret didn't get him into jail.

I watched Uncle Ed every night when I was a kid. Twilight Zone, Get Smart, then bedtime. This is the first I'm hearing about him being an offender. The story, which is, I guess a Kansas City Urban Legend was that he was taken off the air because he wrapped his cat in duct-tape on live TV. Seriously, ask anybody over 40 what happened to Uncle Ed and they'll tell you about the taped up cat.

[@lyokianhitchhiker]

In his defense, I’m pretty sure that in that context, he meant that in the sense of not letting his own age get in the way of doing stuff he enjoys doing, not indifference to age of consent.

[@__-tp4tm]

Well yeah, but always be that naive and you wind up in more than unpleasant situations. In the end, being cautious is always better than to blindly believe the world is only a place of goodwill and/or misunderstandings.

[@mikemitchell9157]

Ok im from Ohio. The only place you will find weather the victim is a minor is in the registry. Another sure sign that it was a minor because they refrain from mentioning they are a minor or even stating and age. They only hide that in documents when a minor is involved. So the victim was a child.

I live in Ohio and the reason why you can’t find a whole lot of information on his case is because to protect the identity of victims of sexual assault, DV, and similar cases, they won’t release details of the crime. When you try looking up their cases, you won’t see any court documents showing up like in any other cases. This is something new they started over the past 2-3 years after in 2 separate cases a perpetrator tracked down their victims using court records of all things to kill them.
