Florida TikTok Creator Faces Felony Charges Over Alleged Cyber Offenses
A Florida TikTok creator who identifies as a ‘demonologist’ and ‘Grey Hat Hacker’ has been arrested again after allegedly jeopardizing women’s privacy by posting their personal information and claiming he could track them via their phones.
Mark Stephen Asea, 36, from Port St. Lucie, was taken into custody on September 30 for a felony offense against computer users. His bond was set at $35,000, according to the sheriff’s office records.
This arrest brings back a case that had previously been dismissed months earlier. Initially arrested in April on charges of stalking and computer-related crimes, Asea saw these charges dropped by prosecutors in May. However, by September, new charges related to computer-access emerged, as shown in court records.

According to a police affidavit, two women reported that Asea posted their private details in TikTok videos. One had sought his help with a computer issue, leading to her information being shared.
In a video that was reviewed by a detective, Asea reportedly detailed a woman’s device information and claimed awareness of her recent spending habits:
Let’s talk about your actual password. How about we talk about the last 10 purchases you made online?
The woman informed investigators that her password was only shared within a closed TikTok group chat. She suspected Asea might have accessed the chat through a fake account. The password was not authorized for sharing outside the group, and she was unsure how Asea acquired her phone identification and banking details.

The second woman became concerned following a routine tech support request. She allowed Asea remote access to her computer in October 2025 for troubleshooting.
Later, she stated that Asea claimed he planted a virus on her computer when she was away, enabling him to view her information without permission. She denied authorizing such access. A private Telegram message photo allegedly appeared in Asea’s TikTok postings afterward.
Asea claimed in a comment that the image originated from a WhatsApp conversation, but the woman provided evidence showing it from a Telegram chat.
Police noted statements where Asea purportedly boasted about locating her using the phone’s GPS:
Thanks to the GPS within her phone, but what did I do?
Allegations continued to accrue as investigators revealed that Asea uploaded more than 100 TikTok videos about one woman, with up to six postings on some days. He also allegedly set up a website displaying her photograph as she got a tattoo.

His TikTok biography lists roles like ‘Demonologist,’ ‘Clairsentient,’ ‘Empath,’ ‘PTSD,’ ‘Grey Hat Hacker,’ and ‘Woodsman.’ An April affidavit noted a previous account description including ‘former satanist’ and ‘cybersecurity engineer.’
Asea also dealt with a civil stalking protection case over the summer. Although a temporary injunction was obtained by a woman in July, it was dissolved by a judge on September 8. Prosecutors reopened the criminal case on September 24, charging Asea with unauthorized computer access.
Records do not clarify why the initial charges were dismissed or what motivated the renewed prosecution.
Months after the original allegations were voided, Asea faces a felony computer-access charge once more, with an arraignment set for November 19. Fox News Digital has reached out to TikTok for comment.
