From TikTok Notoriety to Jail
Crowder first made national headlines in 2023 when a high-profile video captured him sneaking up on a woman at a Burbank Barnes & Noble. The footage circulated heavily on social media, prompting other women to come forward with similar accounts.
Records reveal that Crowder is a registered sex offender with a history of similar predatory arrests in Glendale and Burbank dating back to 2021. Due to his recurring offenses and current parole status, judges are holding him without bond.
