He called himself Mr. Crafty Pants — a cheerful, family-friendly DIY YouTuber whose tutorials reached hundreds of thousands of homes.
Now, that same man, Michael David Booth, is facing felony charges in Kentucky for possession and distribution of illegal material involving minors.
In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we break down exactly what happened — from the first Kik CyberTip that triggered the investigation, to the digital forensics that traced the account back to Booth’s suburban Louisville home.
We’ll examine the legal path forward: grand-jury proceedings, state vs. federal jurisdiction, and the serious penalties tied to KRS 531.335 and 531.340.
We’ll also ask the bigger questions:
Why do audiences trust online personas so easily?
How does “family-friendly” branding disarm critical thinking?
And what does this mean for the influencer world that thrives on parasocial trust?
Booth has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent until proven otherwise.
But the case itself exposes a hard truth about digital culture: we’ve built a system that rewards image over integrity — and when that image collapses, everyone who believed in it feels the impact.
🎙 Join Tony Brueski for a full deep dive into the Mr. Crafty Pants case — the investigation, the evidence, and the cultural fallout of a brand built on trust and undone by technology.
