Zoe LaVerne, a TikTok influencer, has used her platform to engage in deeply troubling and unacceptable behavior. It's been publicly reported, and widely condemned, that Zoe LaVerne admitted to kissing and grooming a 13-year-old child. Her victim bravely spoke out this week sharing his story and it’s so much worse than originally thought in 2020. She groomed, sexually assaulted and raped a 13-year-old boy. If this was a male predator, he would be in jail. We need to start treating male and female predators the same. This behavior is a breach of trust and an abuse of the influencer power she holds over her young audience. Allowing her to remain on TikTok is not only inappropriate but dangerous.

TikTok is a platform heavily populated by young and impressionable users. It is crucial to protect them from individuals who exploit their influential position for predatory behavior. Zoe LaVerne’s actions have already caused harm, and her continued presence on TikTok risks further incidents. Children using TikTok deserve a safe environment—one free from potential predators who manipulate and exploit their innocence.

There must be a zero-tolerance policy for predators using these platforms. Removing Zoe LaVerne from TikTok would send a clear and necessary message that such behaviors will not be tolerated. It would also provide a degree of justice and peace to her victim, highlighting the importance of taking swift action to prevent any future occurrences.

We are calling on TikTok to take responsible action by removing Zoe LaVerne from its platform. Protecting minors online is a duty TikTok and all social media platforms must prioritize. Join us in making TikTok a safer place by signing this petition. Let's ensure that no one else becomes a victim of such predatory behaviors on this platform.
