A popular UK-based YouTuber known as Stuu (Stuart Kluz-Burton) could face extradition to Poland after being accused of sexually assaulting several minor girls. The 32-year-old, who has over 4.2 million followers on YouTube, was arrested on British soil in October.
Everything started when filmmaker Sylwester Wardęga released a video online accusing “Stuu” and other Internet celebrities of having had sexual intercourse with underage girls. Last month, the whole YouTube community of Poland was speaking about Wardęga’s revelations. This became such a hot topic that government ministries took charge of the case.
The investigation focuses on several charges of sexual misconduct. He is accused of having coerced teenage girls into sending him erotic messages and having sex with him. All of the alleged attacks occurred when the famous YouTuber was still residing in Poland. Kluz-Burton had both his Polish and British passports confiscated by the authorities of Luton, Bedfordshire, where he currently lives.
„YouTuber Stuart B. 'Stuu’, who has been wanted since yesterday on an arrest warrant, was arrested today by British police officers thanks to close cooperation and information provided by police officers from the Office of International Police Cooperation and Liaison Officer” – the Polish Police wrote on its official X page.
The Westminster magistrates court remanded Kluz-Burton on conditional bail a few weeks ago. The man is now on an electronic tag and has to sleep in his Luton house every night.
