After a Dallas jury delivered a more than $20 million verdict against two owners of Videogames YouTube Channel, a U.S. magistrate ordered one of the owners, Bryan Martin, to show why he should not be charged with contempt of court and serve jail time.
The magistrate issued his order and scheduled a show cause hearing for April 5 after Martin posted a tweet on April 1—the same day the jury delivered its verdict. Martin’s tweet asked for pornography video submissions to the YouTube channel. Martin posted the tweet after the jury issued the verdict and after the magistrate advised both defendants, “do not do anything to harm the Videogames You Tube Channel.”
