The 18-year-old content creator, best known for his Looksmaxshing content, pleaded not guilty to 15 counts of possessing child sexual abuse material.
Mason was arrested on May 5 after detectives said they found videos on his phone of children being sexually abused.
According to the arrest warrant, Mason’s girlfriend told police she found the material while checking his phone because she believed he was cheating on her.
She claims to have discovered messages on the Telegram app in which Mason allegedly paid people to video chat.
During questioning, doctors said Mason told police he had recently wanted to “try something new” and was looking for taboo porn.
He said he spent money twice on videos for children aged 8 to 15. Police said some of the videos they found showed children crying as they were being abused.
As part of his bail, Mason was ordered not to use the Internet, which prosecutors later said he violated. His lawyer told the court Mason was an influential man and said a complete ban on the internet hampered his ability to make a living.
