Logan Paul under fire after featuring underage girl in Flat Earth mockumentary Logan Paul Vlogs, YouTubeControversial YouTuber Logan Paul unveiled his anticipated Flat Earth \u2018documentary\u2019 on March 20. Now, he is under fire for the video \u2013 but not for duping his audience. Flat Earth International Conference organizer Robbie Davidson called out Paul in a Tweet on March 26, where he claimed that the YouTuber featured a 14-year-old girl in the video without her parents\u2019 consent. \u201cLooks like Logan Paul is surprised!\u201d Robbie wrote in a reply to one of Paul\u2019s posts. \u201cWhy? He put a 14 year old girl in his movie without her parents consent. \u2026Parents\u2019 lawsuits aren\u2019t pretty!\u201d Looks like @LoganPaul is surprised! Why? He put a 14 year old girl in his movie without her parents consent. Oooops. Parents lawsuits aren\u2019t pretty! https:\/\/t.co\/4Nqg0nWTaV \u2014 Robbie Davidson (@MrRobbieD) March 26, 2019 While it\u2019s unclear which individual Davidson is referring to, Paul interviewed a series of elementary-school aged children about the Flat Earth theory for his \u2018mockumentary,\u2019 as well as a slew of Flat Earthers at the Conference \u2013 although the childrens\u2019 lines were likely scripted, unlike those of their adult counterparts. While Paul has yet to address the claims, Davidson likewise announced an upcoming feature on ABC\u2019s \u2018Nightline\u2019 discussing the YouTuber\u2019s video at the Conference, claiming that Paul \u201cexploited children\u201d for his video. \u201cExplain to me how Logan Paul can get away with exploiting children without proper legal consent for a prank?\u201d Davidson wrote in a Facebook post. \u201cWhat is YouTube doing about this?\u201d Davidson likewise spoke out in a video about the issue prior to his latest callout, where he said that he\u2019d been \u201cpunked\u201d into consenting to Paul\u2019s film. Despite Davidson\u2019s claims that the underage girl required parental consent to appear in Paul\u2019s \u2018mockumentary,\u2019 critics have since presented evidence to the contrary, noting that Colorado (where the Conference took place) is a single-party consent state in terms of film recording. the flat earthers have spoken :gasp: we\u2019re gonna do a \u201ctell all\u201d video soon. y\u2019all got any questions about the documentary you want answered? pic.twitter.com\/r77B6AnNtg\u2014 Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) March 23, 2019 According to Colorado criminal defense specialist H. Michael Steinberg, consent must be granted by \u201cat least one party\u201d in terms of recording or evesdropping on phone calls \u2013 so it looks like Paul\u2019s film checks out, for now. https:\/\/www.hmichaelsteinberg.com\/secretly-taping-recording-conversations-in-colorado.htmPaul himself claimed to be \u201cgoing undercover\u201d for the film to become \u201cone with the Flat Earthers;\u201d however, instead of a legitimate documentary on the community, Paul\u2019s video played out more like a comedy sketch, duping those who anticipated his first debut into the field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
