Thanks to the Internet, it's pretty easy to become a celebrity these days. Just as easy? Being disgraced on said Internet after a video is leaked of you pressuring a 16-year-old girl into oral sex.
In a world where "Vine star" and "Instagram celeb" are actual things, a 19-year-old kid who'd otherwise be an unknown, Carter Reynolds, is in some hot water over a leaked video uploaded to Tumblr. A censored version popped up on YouTube (and removed), Gawker reported.
For some background, Reynolds is a star on social media site Vine, where he was 4.3 million followers, and on Instagram, where he has 2.9 million.
The leaked video was shared far and wide across the Internet and was promptly followed by some outrage on social media. Reynolds' response so far denies that the activity depicted was sexual assault, because "Couples do stuff like that all the time," the Daily Dot added.
Without getting too explicit, he allegedly appears in the film with his ex-girlfriend and Instagram star (924,00 followers) Maggie Lindemann. So far, Carter only allegedly makes an appearance because the man holding the camera only reveals his erect penis.
What transpires is disturbing. Essentially, it depicts the youth pressuring his ex into oral sex. BuzzFeed provided a transcript.
"This makes me so uncomfortable.Do it.
I'm really uncomfortable.
Stop, stop. Just act like [the camera isn't] there.
Carter, that's a giant lie.
[laughs] Want me to shut the light off?
I don't think I can.

Oh my gosh, Maggie, oh my gosh."
