One Direction Impostor BUSTED for Enticing Kids To Perform Sex Acts
A man impersonating One Direction's Harry Styles was busted Wednesday for making underage girls a deal -- concert tickets for sex.
Authorities say John Eastman gave the girls options -- they could either pose naked or perform sex acts online.
Eastman was arraigned Thursday on a bunch of charges, including employing a minor in an obscene performance.
According to the Waterbury Republican-American Eastman would go online under the Skype name Harry.Styles888 and used photos of Styles to convince the girls he was the One Direction singer.
Authorities say Eastman used his web cam to record the girls performing sex acts and saved them on his computer. Some of the photos recovered feature girls believed to be as young as 5.
Eastman is being held on $500,000 bond.

One Direction Singer Ferrari Was a RENTAL
Lance Bass can save his financial advice for someone else -- because One Direction singer Harry Styles claims he didn't drop $200,000 on a brand new Ferrari ... he just rented it for a day.
TMZ posted the photo this morning -- showing 18-year-old Styles rolling around Hollywood in a brand new Ferrari California this weekend.
Former 'N Sync singer Lance Bass had some words for him too -- telling us last night, a Ferrari is a TERRIBLE investment at this stage in Styles' career. Lance said Styles should be focusing on saving his money, not throwing it away on cars.
But Lance wasted his breath -- because a rep for Styles tells us, the young singer is a whiz with his money ... and only rented the Ferrari for a few hours ... as a rare treat.
We're told the Ferrari cost Styles a few hundos at most ... which he can probably afford.
