15 Dec, 2025
Summary
- YouTuber JiDion urged followers to pressure police regarding a child predator.
- Police claim JiDion's actions clogged phone lines with complaints.
- JiDion denies harassment, insists on justice for potential child victims.
Lewistown Police are publicly clashing with YouTuber JiDion, who has a following of five million subscribers. The department accuses the 24-year-old content creator of inciting harassment by encouraging his viewers to "make a fuss" after police declined to arrest an alleged child predator.
JiDion released a video on December 9 detailing the incident, claiming the man admitted to attempting to meet a 16-year-old girl. Police stated that the man's actions did not technically constitute a crime under current statutes. This revelation led JiDion to urge his followers to contact authorities.
The department claims its phone lines were overwhelmed with complaints, attributing this to JiDion's actions. However, JiDion refutes these claims, asserting he only wants justice and that his followers are encouraged to voice concerns respectfully. The case has now been referred to the district attorney.
