A YouTuber’s investigation into an online “alpha-male” influencer has revealed startling criminal court records documenting the assault of a 15-year-old girl.
Jon Bravo Films, who produces content exposing fraudulent online personalities, published findings from his research into Ben Azoulay (referred to as “King Azoulay”), a social media figure who promotes masculinity courses to young men while claiming an elaborate backstory involving martial arts training, FBI work, and mob connections.
According to court documents presented in the video, in July 2008, then-18-year-old Azoulay, along with his brother Dylan and another individual, were involved in the assault of a 15-year-old high school student at a house party in Sherman Oaks, California.
The legal filing details how the target was invited to what was described as a party at Azoulay’s parents’ home, where she was allegedly given drinks before being assaulted by multiple perpetrators. The court documents describe the attack while she attempted to escape.
According to the records, Azoulay was prosecuted as an adult and “admitted his guilt in open court” on charges of violating California Penal Code section 288 involving a minor. His brother Dylan was also convicted in juvenile proceedings on charges related to the assault.
The case resulted in both criminal convictions and a civil lawsuit against the perpetrators and their family. According to legal analysis provided in the video, the civil case appears to have resulted in a confidential settlement, though it remains unclear whether the target received compensation.
Jon Bravo Films expressed concern about Azoulays current online presence, where he markets programs to young people while promoting himself as a role model, despite this criminal history. The YouTuber noted the ease with which individuals can now purchase online fame and influence regardless of their backgrounds.
