YouTube Star Posts "Prank" Assaulting Women [View all]

Sam Pepper is a successful YouTube prank star. His videos frequently have over one million views and he's well known in the community for being outrageous. Yesterday he posted a video where he went around to young women and grabbed their asses. Because hur hur hur, how funny is that? What, you bitches can't take a joke?

If you heard a "boom" sometime last evening, it was the internet and YouTube communities EXPLODING WITH RAGE over this so-called "prank". This "prank" involved him going up to unsuspecting women, many who look underaged, and pinching their butts. It's disgusting, it's disrespectful, it's gross and it's ASSAULT. The fact he thought it was a JOKE is even more disgusting.

The video shows him going up to five women and grabbing (rather hard from the look of it) their asses while their stand there completely unaware. One woman is so shocked she leaps aside like she's just been electrocuted. One says "Oh my god, no!" in horror. Sam grins and laughs the entire time. It's hard to watch.

While the video shows five women, a prank video often takes days to make to get the "reactions" someone wants and we can safely assume many other women had their asses grabbed and filmed by this asshole.
