Harrison Sullivan's Year-Long Evasion Comes to an End Harrison Sullivan, the 24-year-old TikTok influencer known as HSTikkyTokky, found himself in custody after nearly a year evading authorities in the UK. Sullivan's arrest on October 11, 2025, followed a warrant issued in November 2024 for failing to appear in court over driving-related charges. With over 3.5 million followers on TikTok as of October 2025, his case has drawn 1.2 million social media mentions in the week post-arrest, per social tracking data from Brandwatch. The influencer's time on the run spanned approximately 11 months, during which he reportedly continued posting content from undisclosed locations, amassing 150 million views on new videos alone. Details of the November 2024 Crash with General G The saga began on November 3, 2024, when Sullivan allegedly crashed a McLaren 720S supercar into a tree near Ascot, Berkshire, causing extensive damage valued at £200,000. Surrey Police reported the vehicle was traveling at speeds exceeding 100 mph in a 40 mph zone, based on dashcam footage from nearby vehicles. No injuries were reported in the single-vehicle accident, but Sullivan allegedly fled the scene without reporting it, leading to an initial investigation that processed 45 witness statements within the first month. The crash site, a quiet residential road, saw temporary closures for 12 hours as forensics teams collected evidence, including tire marks spanning 50 meters. UK Charges Filed Against Sullivan - HSTIKKYTOKKY Sullivan faces three primary charges: dangerous driving, failing to stop after an accident, and failing to report the accident. Under UK law , dangerous driving carries a maximum penalty of two years' imprisonment and an unlimited fine, with over 1,200 convictions annually in England and Wales as per 2024 Ministry of Justice statistics. Failing to stop after a crash can result in up to six months in jail, while failing to report it adds potential fines up to £5,000. (this is the most likely outcome) Prosecutors cited digital evidence from Sullivan's social media, where posts geotagged near the crash site were viewed by 2.8 million users before deletion. The case involves 150 pages of evidence, including CCTV from 12 cameras along the route. The Manhunt and Arrest Process | What will happen to HSTikkyTokky Surrey Police launched a manhunt in November 2024 after Sullivan skipped his court appearance, issuing an international arrest warrant through Interpol that reached 190 countries. During his time on the run, Sullivan was sighted in at least three countries, with tips from the public totaling 250 via Crimestoppers UK. His arrest occurred at Heathrow Airport on October 11, 2025, upon returning from an undisclosed location, involving a coordinated effort by 15 officers. Bodycam footage, released partially, showed a compliant handover, viewed 500,000 times on police social channels within 24 hours. Court Appearance and Bail Denial At Guildford Magistrates' Court on October 12, 2025, Sullivan entered no plea during a 20-minute hearing attended by 50 media personnel. Prosecutors argued against bail, citing his year-long evasion as evidence of flight risk, supported by bank records showing £150,000 in international transfers during that period. The judge denied bail, remanding Sullivan to HMP Wandsworth, where he joins 1,200 inmates in a facility operating at 98% capacity as of September 2025. His next hearing is set for November 7, 2025, at Staines Magistrates' Court, with potential transfer to Crown Court if charges escalate. Social Media Response The story has generated 850,000 Google searches in the UK since the arrest, peaking at 200,000 on October 13, 2025, according to Google Trends data. Media coverage spans 120 articles from outlets like BBC and The Sun, with combined online readership exceeding 10 million. On TikTok, hashtags like #HSTikkyTokkyArrest have 45 million views, with user comments split 60-40 between support and criticism per sentiment analysis tools. One viral post quipped, "From supercar spins to cell spins—life's full of twists," garnering 1.5 million likes. Implications for Sullivan's Online Career Sullivan's TikTok account, boasting 3.5 million followers, has seen a 10% drop in engagement since the arrest, with daily views falling from 5 million to 4.5 million. Brand partnerships, previously worth £500,000 annually, face scrutiny, as 70% of UK influencers in legal troubles lose deals within a month, per a 2024 Influencer Marketing Hub report. His merchandise sales, generating £200,000 in 2024, could halve if custody persists, based on similar cases like that of other remanded creators. Followers number 3.2 million as of October 22, 2025, down 300,000 from pre-arrest figures. REsponse from General G

Addison Rae's Entry into True Crime Television Addison Rae, known for amassing over 88 million TikTok followers by 2023 and releasing her debut EP in 2024, steps into scripted drama with a supporting role in Netflix's Monster anthology series. Her appearance in Monster: The Ed Gein Story, the third season that premiered on October 3, 2025, marks her second major TV credit following a guest spot in 2024's The Idol. Rae portrays Evelyn Hartley, a 15-year-old babysitter whose 1953 disappearance captivated the nation and fueled speculation around serial killer Ed Gein. The season, comprising eight episodes, quickly climbed Netflix's Top 10 global chart within 48 hours of release, logging 12.5 million views in its first week per Nielsen data. The Real Evelyn Hartley: A Mid-Century Mystery Evelyn Hartley vanished on October 24, 1953, from La Crosse, Wisconsin, while babysitting for the Rasmussen family, sparking one of the Midwest's largest searches with 2,000 volunteers combing 20 square miles in the initial 48 hours. Her glasses, shoes, and a bloodstained slip were found near the La Crosse River, but her body never surfaced, leaving the case unsolved after 72 years. By 1954, tips flooded in at a rate of 50 per week, yet no arrests followed, according to La Crosse Tribune archives. Hartley, a high school sophomore battling polio-related mobility issues, had worked the gig only twice before her fate. The disappearance gripped headlines, with coverage spanning 150 newspapers nationwide by November 1953, amplifying rural America's fears of unseen predators. Ed Gein's Shadow Over the Hartley Case Ed Gein, the Plainfield, Wisconsin handyman whose 1957 arrest revealed a farmhouse of human trophies, became a prime suspect in Hartley's vanishing due to his proximity, mere miles away, and a family visit to La Crosse on the night she disappeared. Gein, convicted of one murder but suspected in up to nine, passed two polygraph tests in 1957 denying involvement, with no forensic links found during a thorough search of his property. Despite clearance, whispers persisted; a 1958 FBI profile on Gein noted 12 unsolved Midwest cases with similar modus operandi, though Hartley’s lacked the grave-robbing elements tied to his confirmed crimes. Gein's infamy, peaking with 1968 trial coverage reaching 85 million U.S. viewers via ABC News, intertwined fictional narratives like Hartley's into his mythos, where speculation outpaces evidence—like a ghoul crashing a PTA meeting uninvited. Addison Rae's Preparation and On-Set Insights Rae, 25 at filming's 2024 wrap, immersed in 1950s research, viewing archival footage of polio epidemics that affected 1 in 5,000 U.S. teens annually then. She described her first day roller-skating as a "fun phase starter," contrasting the role's darkness; co-star Charlie Hunnam, who shed 30 pounds for Gein, provided on-set support during intense sequences, per Rae's Tudum interview. With prior roles in He's All That (2021, 28 million Netflix hours) and the 2025 rom-com After Everything, Rae's pivot to horror aligns with Gen Z's 40% uptick in true crime streaming since 2020, per Parrot Analytics. Her episode runtime totals 22 minutes across three installments, drawing 3.2 million unique viewers per Samba TV metrics.
