He was behind the popular aggregating website's most egregious and downright perverted subreddits – including but not limited to r/rapebait, r/incest and r/jailbait – and is now of the most notorious Internet trolls since being outed by Gawker. But now having lost his job and apologised for the majority of his online actions, 'Violentacrez' is looking for employment in the porn industry. And he's using his 'credentials' as a Reddit moderator to get him there...

Dubbed to be one of the biggest trolls on the Internet and one of the most reviled characters on Reddit, Violentacrez was 'unmasked' to be 49-year old Texan programmer Michael Brutsch just recently by Gawker. Later, in an interview with CNN, Brutsch partially apologised for his inexcusable online postings, and said his moderation of such Reddit subforums – a task that saw him and his team regularly removing any images on subreddit /jailbait of girls that could potentially be 18 or over - helped 'relieve' some of the stress associated with his job.

In a strange turn of events, Brutsch is now after a job in the adult industry, hoping to use the experience he's acquired from his frankly despicable and tasteless hobby to 'better' use. “For hire: Senior Perl programmer for position in the adult content industry” Brutsch posted on his estranged Reddit last week under the more subtly-named moniker 'mbrutsch'. Posting alongside a link to his online CV where he touts “over thirty years of programming, design and systems maintenance experience”, as well as “extensive experience in the development, implementation and maintenance of user interface systems,” Brutsch also claims he possesses “5 years experience building and maintaining adult communities” (note he chose to ignore exactly where these 'communities' can be found). The job search continues.
