A man pretending to be One Direction singer Harry Styles was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly tricking underage girls into performing sex acts online in exchange for the promise of concert tickets.
According to authorities, John Eastman of Waterbury, Connecticut allegedly used the Skype alias Harry.Styles888 and photos of the boy band heartthrob to persuade girls that he was the singer.
The underage victims were allegedly asked to pose naked or perform sex acts, which Eastman is accused of recording with his web cam.
Eastman’s computer reportedly contained hundreds of pictures and videos constituting child pornography, including many images that were allegedly captured during his Styles ruse.
Some of the children are believed to be as young as 5 years old.
Eastman was arraigned on Thursday on charges including employing a minor in an obscene performance.
He’s being held on $500,000 bond.
