The news of JOEYKAOTYK’s arrest came into the limelight as 32-year-old American Twitch streamer ‘JOEYKAOTYK’ was arrested for exploring Japan’s Fukushima Prefecture with his friend.
JOEYKAOTYK Arrested
American Twitch streamer ‘JOEYKAOTYK’ has reportedly been detained following an incident in which he and a friend filmed themselves exploring abandoned buildings in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.
On June 19, ‘JOEYKAOTYK’, known for his Twitch streams and breakdancing, went on an adventure with his friend, Michael Gakuran, to explore Fukushima together.
During their live broadcasts, the duo went into abandoned buildings and residences, some of which appeared intact and well-preserved, showing no signs of aging or decay.
However, recent reports from Fukushima TV reveal that the streamers have been arrested on suspicion of trespassing and breaking into a closed inn in Okuma City, Fukushima Prefecture. The alleged incident took place on June 20 around 11:20 p.m., according to police reports.
Concerned netizens seem to have witnessed the live broadcast and immediately reported the researcher’s activities to local authorities. Online comments echoed the disapproval of users who accused the couple of trespassing on private property in the area.
This isn’t the first time a Twitch streamer has faced legal consequences for their actions. In a previous incident in 2018, another streamer was arrested and asked to post $75,000 bail after setting off a false bomb threat at his university.
Who is JOEYKAOTYK?
Joey Khao, also known as JOEYKAOTYK, a 32-year-old streamer on Twitch, is potentially facing legal consequences after a recent stream he hosted in Japan. Joey, known for his IRL (In Real Life) streaming and global content creation, embarked on a daring adventure with his companion, Michael Gakuran, visiting a small town in Japan’s Fukushima prefecture.
Fukushima Prefecture suffered a devastating earthquake and tsunami in 2011, resulting in a nuclear incident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. As a result, residents were forced to evacuate, and the vicinity of the power plant is still a restricted area.
In violation of trespass laws, Joey and his friend trespassed into abandoned homes in the region. The trespassing did not go unnoticed, as local authorities quickly received reports and subsequently arrested both individuals involved.
It is important to note that the above calculation is based on available information and should be considered as such. As the situation develops, additional details may emerge regarding the possible legal ramifications Joey Khao may face.
