Harley Johnstone

CRIMINAL AND SERIAL SEXUAL ABUSER 46-year-old Harley Johnstone aka "Durianrider" has used and continues to use YouTube and social media to find very young women to sexually assault and exploit. ​ Multiple women have come forward, from age 18 to 25, with the same story - alleging sexual assault by Johnstone, followed by a vicious campaign on social media by Johnstone to try to destroy the womens' reputations. You can watch these women in videos further down this page describing assaults by Johnstone, after having been drawn to meet vegans living in Thailand, based in part on Johnstone's YouTube videos. JOHNSTONE’S M.O.

​

Johnstone pretends to be an "expert" on veganism, health, bicycling, and weight loss. He's not, but he uses this to try to get attention and admiration, and to create opportunities to force himself sexually on young trusting vulnerable girls. The sexual proclivities of the 43-year-old Johnstone lead him to focus on teenage girls, one as young as age 15. Johnstone is banned from appearing at any major reputable vegan events. He sometimes holds meet-up events, based in Thailand or Australia. These events provide Johnstone with narcissistic supply (attention), as well as attracting new targets for sexual exploitation. In addition, Johnstone earns money promoting eBooks he "writes" - but which in fact are heavily plagiarized word for word from the work of leading vegan medical doctors and experts, like McDougall and Esselstyn. Johnstone also purchases "likes" and "dislikes" through bot services located in small third world countries, which he then directs those "likes" and "dislikes" to be put on videos on YouTube. He uses these bot services to successfully get accounts exposing him suspended (YouTube prohibits use of these bots). Buying likes or dislikes is also Johnstone's attempt to create fake "public opinion" that supposedly many in the community "like" a particular video he made, or "dislike" videos made by someone else which expose him.
