Bill Kaulitz Imposter Involved in Child Pornography Scandal

To all the girls that sent nude pictures of themselves to Tokio Hotel singer Bill Kaulitz online ... bad news ... it wasn't really him.



According to AFP, an 18-year-old male from France had been cruising chatrooms and convincing 11 to 17-year-olds that he was, in fact, the Tokio Hotel singer ... and he wanted sexy pics. Once he received the pics, he would post them on the Internet for all to see (*cough* child pornography).

The wannabe-Bill Kaulitz was arrested on Tuesday and is currently awaiting his trial. Meanwhile, it is unclear whether the nude pictures of the minors have been removed from the Web.

Tokio Hotel has received a 2008 MTV Video Music Awards nomination for the song "Ready, Set, Go!" (Best Pop Video) thanks to online voting from their die-hard fans. Idolator recently suggested that since MTV is hoping for big ratings with this award show (and the equally-as-popular-on-the-Internet Jonas Brothers will be performing at the event), perhaps a staged "wrestling match" is in the works ...

Does this story freak you out? Has anyone ever tried to convince you they were a celebrity over the Internet? Discuss in the commments.

I don't really like Tokio Hotel, but If one of my idols were asking me for "sexy pictures" i wouldn't idolize them anymore.

exactly, anyone asking for shit like that is just messed up
youd think the girls would be bright enough to realise some shit was going on
i mean he wouldnt have been able to prove who he was so yeah :/
you never know where they could end up

ive never had celebrities ask but ive had others
and tbh its horrible coz its pure pressure.
one guy would constantly message asking for them
in the end i was lucky and me ignoring and blocking him made them go away.
people need to be careful;

btw im not saying it was the girls fault not at all
i just think sometimes people are too trusting.

this just shows how dumb and naive people really are.

So it's totally okay for a complete stranger to the girls to take advantage of his fame and ask for nude, pornographic photos of underage (as young as eleven year old) girls?

It's not. And, any girl should think twice (and then some) about sending any sort of "provocative" or "scandalous" (let alone nude) photo of themselves to someone. Especially over the internet. Once something is online, it's immortalized. Anyone with access to that file can save it on their computer, make copies, send e-mails, etc., etc.

And, these girls should not have sent photos or have had any sort of sexually-inclined relations with a stranger, "famous" or not. Obviously, they were duped, and sent these photos to an imposter and a pedophile. This should be a lesson to the girls involved, and girls on the internet chatting up complete strangers and people they believe to be famous.

that is so sick.
i would be disgusted even IF it was the real bill kaulitz.
those girls arent very smart.

They should have known to tell someone of authority if an ADULT (Bill Kaulitz is 19 years old, turning 20 in one month) is asking for pornographic photos. This article states that girls as young as ELEVEN years old sent / were asked to send nude photos of themselves to this man. One might say that girls that young were naive and foolish, but it is not tolerable to brush off any of the girls' actions as simply "naive". Girls should know better, it's a shame that some think they need to succumb to a male's every whim to feel loved.
