YouTube star admits messaging 16-year-old boys

"I fully understand my actions and how they are wrong," the 21-year-old influencer said in a video posted to his YouTube channel on Thursday.

Allegations against Charles first emerged on social media earlier this year.

In February, the influencer - who has 25 million subscribers to his YouTube channel - was accused by one teenager of grooming, which Charles denied, saying he flirted with the person because he believed the boy to be 18.

Charles had denied previous accusations, but in Thursday's video, titled "Holding myself accountable", he admitted wrongdoing.

YouTuber faces jail for prank on homeless man

Spanish vlogger Kanghua Ren "violated the moral integrity" of the victim of his 2017 prank, the New York Times reported the Barcelona court as saying.

The court also ruled Ren's YouTube channel, ReSet, must be shut down - and he must not post any videos until 2024.

Ren has also been ordered to pay his victim €20,000 (£17,700) compensation.

The New York Times said Ren was unlikely to spend any time in jail, though, as Spanish courts typically suspend sentences of under two years for first-time offenders found guilty of committing non-violent crimes.
