TikTok star Mizzy jailed after string of online pranks

Controversial TikTok prankster Mizzy has been sentenced to 18 weeks’ detention at a young offenders institution.

The social media influencer, real name Bacari-Bronze O’Garro, was found guilty last month on two counts of breaching a criminal behaviour order imposed on him earlier this year for posting videos on social media without consent.

He was found not guilty on two other counts, Sky News reports.

The 19-year-old made headlines earlier this year following ‘prank’ videos he posted on TikTok.

Mizzy courted controversy for his TikTok ‘prank’ videos

One of these involved him ‘walking into random houses’. The video saw him go into one family’s house after the door was left open, and then lounging on their sofa.

He was eventually asked to leave by a man who appears in the living room, as children are heard calling “daddy”.

Mizzy was hit with a criminal behaviour order that prohibited from sharing videos of people without their consent and told to pay a total of £365 over the video.

But in October he was found to have “deliberately flouted” the order “within hours” of it being passed.

In one video, passers-by were in the background as Mizzy told the camera: “The UK law is a joke.”

Another of his most viewed videos saw him pick up a stranger’s dog in a park before running away with the animal.

The self-described content creator has previously appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored and claimed the negative reaction to his videos is partly down to him being Black.
