TikTok creator Mason Hull is contesting criminal charges that accuse him of buying child pornography online.
The 18-year-old, known for Looksmaxxing content, entered a not guilty plea to 15 counts of possession of child sexual abuse material.
Arrest and Allegations
Hull was arrested on May 5 after detectives said they found videos on his phone of children being sexually abused.
According to the arrest warrant, his girlfriend told police she discovered the material while looking through his phone because she believed he was cheating on her.
She claimed to have found messages on the Telegram app where Hull was allegedly paying people for the videos.
During questioning, the documents say Hull told officers he recently wanted to "try something new" and sought out taboo pornography.
He said he spent money twice on buying videos with kids between the ages of 8 and 15.
Police say some of the videos they found showed children crying while being abused.
Bond Conditions and Internet Dispute
As part of his release on bond, Hull was ordered not to use the internet, which prosecutors later said he violated.
His lawyers told the court Hull was an influencer and said the complete bar on using the internet hindered his ability to earn a living.
