YouTuber 'CallMeCarson' teases return after he left social media following allegations he sexted underage fans
- Carson King, known on YouTube as "CallMeCarson" is teasing his return to social media.
- King mostly vanished from social media in January after he was accused of sexting his underage fans.
- King tweeted Saturday and said: "give me a little bit longer."
Carson King, a YouTuber and "Minecraft" streamer, teased his return to social media on Saturday after a months-long hiatus following accusations he groomed and exchanged inappropriate messages with underage fans.
King tweeted Saturday night, "give me a little bit longer." More than 95,000 people have liked the tweet teasing his return.
As Insider's Kat Tenbarge previously reported, King faced accusations in January from two girls who accused him of sending them inappropriate messages when they were under the age of 18.
One accuser said King sent her sexually suggestive messages when he was 19 and she was 17 in 2019. Another accuser later came forward and said she and king shared nude photographs on Snapchat when she was 17 and he was 20, Insider previously reported.
"I'm not into kids but I did trade nudes with people under the age of 18 which is very bad," King appeared to say in a Discord chat at the time, according to a screen recording posted by one of his former collaborators, according to the previous report.
Several of King's collaborators turned against him once the allegations were made public, according to the previous Insider report. Two of his former collaborators came forward in an interview with Daniel Keem, also known as Keemstar, and said King told them he had sexted with underage fans, Insider reported.
Following the allegations, King disappeared from all of his social media platforms. He last uploaded a YouTube video in November 2020 and he stopped tweeting regularly in January 2020. His last Twitch stream was seven months ago.
King did not immediately return Insider's request for comment Sunday. He has not publicly commented on the allegations against him.
The last time King appeared on social media was in May when he tweeted and quickly deleted tweets about President Joe Biden and Donald Trump. He said those tweets were accidental, according to Newsweek.
King has 1.3 million followers on Twitter, 2.95 million YouTube subscribers, and 1.3 million followers on Twitch. According to data from Social Blade, King lost approximately 240,000 YouTube subscribers when the allegations against him were made public in January.
