Youtuber paid to abuse girlfriend, faces 2 years jail following her death

Egged on by his online audience, Stas Reeflay allegedly forced Valentina Grigoryeva out on a balcony in sub-zero weather wearing only her underwear.

Reeflay, 30, was paid $1,000 (£800) by a viewer to inflict the abuse on her during his live stream, according to a report by Baza media.

Valentina, 28 - who was in the early stages of pregnancy - died of hypothermia at his rented house in Ivanovka village, near Moscow.

Perhaps I'm not "macho" enough to feel like other human beings are beneath me and that their lives aren't worth the same as mine. Thank fucking Christ for that! If that is the case, glad to be insufficient. I am, however, macho enough to know what I'd do to this asshole if we met face to face! It wouldn't be fucking pretty, I can tell you that.

I wear a lot of jewelry. Rings particularly. If he lived, he'd be scarred for fucking life.

My woman is my soul mate. And even if it was someone before her....I can't even imagine doing this to another human being and being able to look in the mirror or sleep at night. Apparently, in todays day and age, I'm weak.

Seriously? On-line payment to carry out torture fantasies? and the perp gets 2 fucking years?

Why is YouTube not getting sued for BILLIONS in liability, pain and suffering and enticement or aiding and abetting?
Why is that little cockroach of a boy not going in for 20 to life?

I have had enough...the internet is a sewer of destructive and criminal perversion and the more we look away or ignore it, the more we are all complicit and guilty. It is past time to boycott YouTube and ALL of the companies that advertise on the platform or pay to receive their fucking precious marketing research and data about people.

Burn. It. ALL. Down.

I had thought things were getting better for women.

But in the last 10 years, I think - in many ways - they have gotten worse.

Can't believe her friends or family would be satisfied with that verdict.

Two years for murder.
