TikToker 'Mizzy' charged with breaching social media video banning order and remanded into custody
TikTok prankster 'Mizzy' has been charged with breaching a criminal behaviour order after posting a “prank” video on TikTok.
He appeared at Thames Magistrates’ Court in London on Saturday where he pleaded not guilty to three breaches of a criminal behaviour order imposed for posting a “prank” video on TikTok.
The 18-year-old TikToker gave his address as Crayford Road in Dartford and was charged by the Metropolitan Police on Saturday morning after being arrested on Friday.
When asked for his pleas by district judge Susan Holdham, O’Garro, wearing a grey crew neck jumper and black tracksuit bottoms, pleaded not guilty on three occasions.
Rose Edwin, prosecuting, said two of the three alleged offences took place on Thursday, with O’Garro accused of posting a video onto social media without the consent of the people featured as well as visiting Westfield Centre in Stratford, which he is not permitted to do under the criminal behaviour order.
It was heard that O’Garro visited Hackney on Friday where he is accused of posting a video on social media without the consent of the people featured.
O’Garro was remanded into custody until a further hearing at 2pm on Tuesday, May 30.
Bacari-Bronze O’Garro, 18, known as Mizzy, was made subject to the order at Thames Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday banning him from posting videos on social media without the consent of those featured in them.
In a video posted to Twitter on Friday, O’Gorro, from Hackney, north London, was seen being arrested by a plain-clothed police officer who references videos published on social media on Wednesday and Thursday.
O’Garro has now been charged with three counts of breaching a criminal behaviour order.
During Wednesday’s court appearance, he admitted one count of failing to comply with a community protection notice issued on May 11, 2022.
Judge Charlotte Crangle issued him with a two-year criminal behaviour order, including instructions that he must not directly or indirectly post videos on social media without the documented consent of the people featured in the content, must not trespass into private property and must not attend the Westfield Centre in Stratford, east London.
She also ordered O’Garro to pay a fine of £200, as well as a victim surcharge of £80 and costs of £85 – totalling £365.
Speaking before Mizzy's court appearance on Saturday, a Met Police spokesman said: “A teenager has been charged with breaching a criminal behaviour order following an investigation into social media footage posted online.
“Bacari-Bronze O’Garro, 18, of Manor Road, Hackney, was charged on Friday, May 26 with three counts of breaching a criminal behaviour order.
