TikTok star Mason Hull fighting child p0rn charges after cops said he initially confessed

TikTok content creator Mason Hull has pleaded not guilty to 15 counts of possession of child s3xual abuse material following his arrest earlier this year.

Hull, 18, who is known online for creating Looksmaxxing content, entered the plea as he contests the criminal charges against him. He was arrested on May 5 after detectives alleged that they discovered videos on his phone depicting children being s3xually abused.

According to the arrest warrant, Hull’s girlfriend told police she discovered the material after looking through his phone because she suspected he was cheating on her. She also alleged that she found messages on the Telegram app indicating that Hull had paid people for videos containing child s3xual abuse material.

According to court documents, Hull told officers during questioning that he had recently wanted to “try something new” and had sought out what he described as taboo pornography. The documents state that Hull told investigators he spent money on two occasions to purchase videos involving children between the ages of eight and 15.

Police alleged that some of the videos recovered from his phone showed children crying while being abused. Hull was subsequently released on bond under conditions that included a prohibition on using the internet. Prosecutors later alleged that he violated that restriction.

Hull’s lawyers told the court that he worked as an influencer and argued that a complete prohibition on internet access interfered with his ability to earn a living. Hull has pleaded not guilty, and the allegations against him remain subject to the criminal proceedings.
