Justifying his sick mentality, Dawson further says, "Here’s my justification for paedophilia: People have foot fetishes, people have fetishes about everything, that’s fine, do your thing. ‘So why is it when somebody looks at and Googles like ‘naked baby’ on Google and jerks off to it, they can get arrested? I don’t understand that."

#3 Googled Naked Babies

The disgusting talk does not end here and Dawson also reveals that for the fun of it he also once googled naked babies. "Here’s the worst part of it, I actually went to Google… I didn’t want to see child porn but I just thought okay let me pretend like I’m a paedophile for a second. ‘So I typed in “naked baby”. First of all, I don’t know why anybody would be turned on by that. But they were sexy… I’m kidding."

I am sorry that I was so f**king, like, insecure and playing this character who is crazy and will say anything and tries to make people laugh by shocking them. That was my thing and that was what I did on YouTube. I feel like a lot of people now don't know that."
