Jared Knabenbauer – ProJared

YouTuber ProJared accused of soliciting sexually explicit photos from underage fans

Popular YouTube gaming creator Jared “ProJared” Knabenbauer is being accused of soliciting nude photos from fans, including at least two people who were underage.

Knabenbauer is a gaming personality on YouTube with around 1 million subscribers who has appeared on other popular channels, including Game Grumps. But Knabenbauer has now been accused of abusive behavior toward his wife, popular cosplayer Heidi O’Ferrall, and asking that fans send him nude photos over a period of years. One of those fans claims Knabenbauer knew he was underage when it happened.

While the alleged behaviors took place across multiple online platforms, they speak to the trouble platforms like YouTube face in protecting younger users from a fandom that can make them vulnerable to a predatory adult. Just last week, popular YouTuber Austin Jones was sentenced to 10 years in prison for soliciting sexually explicit photos from underage fans.

The first accusations surfaced late Wednesday night after Knabenbauer announced that he and O’Ferrall were filing for divorce. O’Ferrall then accused Knabenbauer of having gaslit and otherwise behaved abusively toward her, prompting other people to speak out about feeling used by Knabenbauer. Fans said Knabenbauer would often send unsolicited, sexually explicit photos to them on Snapchat or would send risqué photos unprompted.

Knabenbauer had been requesting nude photos from fans for years, O’Ferrall says. “In the beginning, it was a joke on Tumblr” meant for consenting adults, she writes. But eventually, O’Ferrall says it turned into “an abuse of power for him to intentionally manipulate anyone to show him their naked body on the basis that he’s a popular internet man.”- Source
