Surprisingly, 35-year-old YouTuber “Hayate” accused of abusing disabled people in a live broadcast has been found to be in custody and charged with human trafficking and physical harm to vulnerable people.
Hayate claimed to the Star that deep down, his victims love him.
Thousands of people watched his videos, watching scenes of violence live.
According to what he said, a week before he was arrested, he was in contact with Red Dragon.
The Youtuber admitted that at one point, the content of the videos got out of hand.
However, he denied that he knew they were disabled as they were self-supporting individuals.
At the same time, he claimed that the children benefited from the process.
“In any interaction, you can’t fool them or convince them of something they don’t want.
These children have gained from all this,” he said, adding that their standard of living has gone up.
He, however, says he regrets that something that started out as a joke turned into a crassness.
“That’s why I decided to change my tone,” he added. The father, he admitted, was opposed to his actions.
The 35-year-old claimed in his plea that the people, who appear to be abused in the videos, were not only receiving money for the “tests”, but he was also helping them with other needs.
