Why was he arrested?

There were a lot of red flags about the network’s structure, how it’s managed, and whether its content is appropriate and safe for children’s consumption. However, most of the problem stemmed from the fact that the entire SevenSuperGirls ship was essentially run by one man – Ian Rylett.

Some parents of the girls were uncomfortable with the fact that Ian, a relatively elderly man, was the one running the show, came up with video themes for the girls to explore, and was generally always around them. He was the reason a lot of girls left the network because they felt uncomfortable around him and the whole arrangement.

It all came to a head when Rylett was arrested in Florida on lewd and lascivious assault charges. On August 16, one of the GSU girls accused Ian of fondling her breasts and trying to forcibly remove her underwear. As reports went, Ian was trying to get her ready for a video shoot when he ordered her to take off her shirt and practice wrapping her breasts so they could look smaller. She initially refused to do so in his presence but eventually gave in to his request.

After removing her shirt, Rylett ordered her to remove her bra as well, a request she did not comply with. He continued to force-wrap her himself, stroking her repeatedly in the process and threatening her with his SSG contract.

Ian Rylett initially pleaded not guilty on August 22, 2018, but eventually agreed to a plea deal when he realized a trial could hand him a 15-year sentence for child molestation. He was sentenced to 90 days in Orange County Jail in Florida and a further 5-year probation during which he must have no contact with minors except his daughter.

During his arrest, YouTube demonetized all videos on all SAK channels. After being found guilty and sentenced, Youtube removed all content from the entire SAK network, including that of SevenSuperGirls on March 12, 2019. Facebook also removed all Instagram accounts from the network’s channels.
