Bogus Tokio Hotel star charged with Internet sex hoax
A French youth has been charged with posing online as the star of teen rock band Tokio Hotel to trick young girls into sending him nude photos, police said Friday.
The 18-year-old from southwestern France signed up to a string of online chatrooms mascarading as Tokio Hotel singer and teen heartthrob Bill Kaulitz, striking up relations with young girls aged from 11 to 17.
He convinced several to send him nude photographs, some sexually explicit, which he went on to publish on the Internet.
He was arrested on Tuesday and is to stand trial in the southwestern city of Perpignan, police said.
The German pop group Tokio Hotel released their first album in May 2006 and quickly became a major success in Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland.
