Benjamin Glaze, known for his viral audition kiss with Katy Perry, faces serious allegations in Tulsa.

Benjamin Glaze, 26, was arrested by Tulsa police after a warrant was issued for possession of child pornography.
Authorities recovered over 700 images and videos of child sexual abuse material from Glaze's smartphone.
The investigation began in April 2024 when the police received information about Glaze's alleged criminal activities.
