'One Direction' Imposter Pedophile Pretends To Be Harry Styles Online So Women Perform Sex Acts

The One Direction imposter, John Eastman, hails from Connecticut and he was arrested Wednesday after alluding authorities in his home state of Connecticut.  

The 45-year-old Eastman, has been accused of posing as One Direction band member, Harry Styles, in an effort to lure underaged girls into taking off their clothes.

The Waterbury Republican-American reports that Eastman appeared in court on Thursday to face charges on one degree of possessing child pornography, employing a minor in an obscene performance, and using a computer to entice a minor. 

According to the warrant for Eastman's arrest, he used the screen name Harry.Styles888 on Skype, and had pictures of the One Direction singer on his computer.

The pictures combined with his screen name for Skype were all used to convince young children to disrobe for the man. 

Eastman told detectives of his plans: "My hope is that the girl will show me herself on camera and then pose in a sexual manner, or perform some kind of sex act for me to see."

Sometimes, Eastman would even offer concert tickets as a reward for posing nude or performing sex acts online. 

Police only began investigating Eastman after a Vermont state trooper looked into a complaint from a family about three girls and a Skype user named Styles.

Eastman willingly gave over his computer to police in 2012, according to his warrant. 

That's when he fled to Virgina, where police caught him and returned him to his home state of Connecticut. 

The police found 500 images of child pornography on Eastman's computer, including numerous webcam images of children belived to be as young as 5. 

Video footage of Styles and Justin Bieber also came up on the Eastman's computer. 

Eastman is being held in jail on a $500,000 bond and is due back in court on Tuesday next week. 

Eastman had a criminal history before becoming the One Direction imposter: he was convicted of fourth degree sexual assault and spent 10 years oin the offender registry before being taken off the list in 2009. 

Children should be well aware of predators on the web like Eastman and should never disrobe for anyone. Here is a picture of John Eastman from the Waterbury Republican-American, in case he is ever at large again:
