ReSet faces prison for the cruel prank (Picture: YouTube)

YouTuber and Fortnite streamer Kanghua Ren, aka ReSet, faces prison time after tricking a homeless man into eating Oreos filled with toothpaste.

The 20-year-old vlogger filmed himself last January filling the biscuits with toothpaste and putting them back in their packaging, before he gave five of them to a homeless man in Barcelona.

He then claimed that the nasty prank would give the man’s teeth a clean.

According to The Telegraph, ReSet said while the man was eating the Oreos: ‘Maybe I’ve gone a bit far, but look at the positive side: this will help him clean his teeth. I think he hasn’t cleaned them since he became poor.’




The 52-year-old homeless man, named as Gheorge L, said that he immediately fell ill after eating the cookies and vomited five minutes later.

Gheorge told authorities that he feared for his life, and alleged that he was offered €300 (£260) for his silence.

According to the Spanish newspaper El Pais, ReSet earned more than €2,000 (£1,740) from advertising on the video, which was viewed ‘thousands of times’ before it was deleted.

ReSet, who is currently on bail awaiting judgement, faces a charge of a crime against moral integrity. Prosecutors are seeking a sentences of two years in prison, as well as an order to pay Gheorge €30,000 (£26,100) in compensation.

The court heard that ReSet had previously offered sandwiches filled with cat’s faeces to children and elderly people.

ReSet, who is originally from China but resides in Barcelona, has 1.2 million subscribers on his YouTube channel.
