A 32-year-old is facing federal charges after prosecutors say he created hundreds of videos of animals being tortured, dismembered and killed, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Bryan Wesley Edison faces 16 counts of animal crushing.
Prosecutors say he uploaded the videos to his pay-per-view YouTube channels. He also created logos for his channels and advertised merchandise with those logos.
His YouTube channels were removed from the site for “multiple and severe violations of YouTube’s policy on violence,” according to the news release.
“Animal crushing is not only sickening, it is a federal crime,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson. “When someone takes pleasure in the torture of defenseless animals, it signals a deeper danger to our community. Especially in these troubled times, we will not allow these warning signs to go unchecked.”
