TikToker who walked into strangers house uninvited is handed two year ban

A London teenager who shared prank videos on social media has been fined £365

Bacari-Bronze O’Garro from Hackney who posted footage showing him walking into a strangers house uninvited has also been given a two year ban.

It means the 18 year old can't post anything without the permission of those being filmed.

Varinder Hayre, prosecuting, told the court that O'Garro was issued with a community protection notice on May 11 last year, and that two of its conditions were that he not trespass on to private property.

Ms Hayre said that he then breached that notice by entering a home on May 15 this year.

"He went to the home address of the victim," she said.

"The door of the property was open.

"Mr O'Garro walked into the property and immediately walked down the stairs.

"He was stopped by the home owner.

"He went into the living room. He sat down on the sofa and said 'Is this where the study group is?'"

Ms Hayre said: "He was asked to leave multiple times by both the victim and the husband."

She added: "It was discovered that he had filmed the entire incident for a TikTok trend about walking into random houses."

Ms Hayre said: "He has caused the family a lot of distress.

"The faces of the couple and their two young children can be seen."

She told the court that the mother was under the impression that O'Garro was attempting burglary, and added that the mother takes her family's privacy "very seriously".

"This has caused the victim great concern," Ms Hayre said.

Lee Sergent, in mitigation, said that O'Garro had apologised to the family.

He said that his client was raised by a single parent and had a difficult upbringing.

"Mr O'Garro grew up in a single parent household," Mr Sergent said.

"He had an extremely difficult childhood.

"He is an intelligent young man and a young man with some potential."

He said that his client was neither in work nor education, but was instead in receipt of Universal Credit.

Mr Sergent added that his client had made some legitimate social media content, including playing games and discussing conspiracy theories.

Judge Charlotte Crangle issued O'Garro with a two-year criminal behaviour order.

The order included that O'Garro must not directly or indirectly post videos on to social media without the documented consent of the people featured in the content, that he must not trespass into private property, and that he must not attend the Westfield Centre in Stratford.
