CALIFORNIA: US video blogger Christina Crockett─whose YouNow chats with a Saudi boy landed the latter in prison─ has refused to help the boy nicknamed ‘Abu Sin’ come out of jail.
“A lot of people say I should make a video to try to hlep get him out of prison. That’s not my place. I am sorry I don’t want to get involved in that,” Crockett said in her first response after Abu Sin’s arrest.
She, however, maintained that the whole situation is “crazy and unfair” and expressed hope that “he (Abu Sin) does not go into prison for three years”.
“It’s not my fault that it (her chat with Abu Sin) went viral. It’s not my fault that he got this fame from it or that I got it. Neither of us have asked for it,” said Ms Crockett.
