Former Get Scared Singer Joel Faviere Arrested in Child Pornography Sting

Joel Faviere, former vocalist for the scenecore band Get Scared, is one of the forty-two men arrested as part of a massive child sex crimes sting in Polk County, Florida. Operation Child Guardian “targeted suspects engaged in possession of child pornography, failing to comply with the sex offender registration and probation violation,” according to WTSP. The Daily Ridge elaborates:

27-year-old Joel Faviere of Lakeland – Detectives received information that someone operating a device located in Faviere’s home was sharing files that contain child pornography. Detectives responded to the home on Buck Run Drive, and during an on-scene preview of his computer equipment they seized, detectives found over 4,500 files containing child pornography, including images of infants and toddlers being sexually abused. Faviere told detectives he has been viewing child pornography for a year and that it “has become an addiction.” Faviere was placed under arrest and charged with:

• Three (3) counts Possession of Child Pornography (F-2)

• Six (6) counts Promotion of Sexual Performance of a Child (F-2)

• Detectives will conduct a thorough forensic analysis of all equipment seized, and additional charges are pending.

According to Rock Feed, “Joel left Get Scared in 2012 but he is still a very popular YouTuber (with over 50,000 subscribers and 50,000 followers on Twitter, and 28,000 followers on Instagram) and solo artist.” The name of the Get Scared release on which Faviere sang is called Built for Blame, Laced with Shame, which would be funny if these circumstances weren’t so horrific.

Hopefully Joel gets laced with something else while he’s in jail. We’ll let you know as soon this scumbag is sentenced.
