Florida TikTok Creator Faces Charges for Alleged Privacy Violations

A TikTok creator from Florida, who refers to himself as a “demonologist” and “Grey Hat Hacker,” is once again in custody. He is accused of exposing the private details of women online and claiming he could track their movements via their phones. Mark Stephen Asea, 36, residing in Port St. Lucie, was incarcerated at St. Lucie County Jail on September 30, charged with a felony offense against computer users. His bail has been set at $35,000, according to the sheriff’s office records.

The arrest reopens a criminal case that was previously closed. In April, Asea was initially arrested for stalking and computer-related offenses, but those charges were dropped in May. In September, a new charge related to computer access was filed, as per court documents.

According to the police affidavit, two women reported that their private information was shared on Asea’s TikTok posts. One woman had trusted him to resolve a computer issue.

In a video examined by a detective, Asea allegedly listed specifics about one woman’s devices and claimed to know her recent financial transactions. He reportedly said, “Let’s talk about your actual password,” followed by “How about we talk about the last 10 purchases you made online?” The woman shared with investigators that her password was disclosed in a closed group chat on TikTok, which Asea was not a part of, although she suspected he might have entered using a fake identity. She affirmed nobody in the chat had permission to share it beyond the group, questioning how he might have obtained her phone ID or banking details.

Security experts advise that exposed email addresses and phone numbers can lead to phishing or impersonation scams.

The second woman’s concerns arose after a normal request for tech support. She allowed Asea to access her computer remotely in October 2025. Later, she claims he informed her of embedding a virus that allowed him to view her information secretly. She said the access was never authorized. Additionally, a photo from her private Telegram messages allegedly surfaced in his TikTok content, with Asea claiming the image originated from a WhatsApp exchange. However, the woman provided investigators with a Telegram screenshot containing the photograph.

Documented police statements showed Asea boasting about tracing her location through her phone. An affidavit quoted him saying, “Thanks to the GPS within her phone, but what did I do?” Allegedly, Asea uploaded over 100 TikTok videos about one woman, sometimes publishing up to six videos daily. He reportedly secured a website, displaying an image of the woman getting a tattoo.

His TikTok profile lists “Demonologist,” “Clairsentient,” “Empath,” “PTSD,” “Grey Hat Hacker,” and “Woodsman.” Earlier documentation showed a profile mentioning “former satanist” and “cybersecurity engineer.”

Asea faced a separate civil stalking protection case during the summer. Though a temporary injunction was granted in July, a judge dissolved it on September 8. Prosecutors decided to reopen the criminal case on September 24, filing current unauthorized computer access charges. The changes in the case status or reasons for reopening are not specified in available records.

Months after the original charges were dropped, Asea now faces a felony for unauthorized computer access. An arraignment is scheduled for November 19.
