Disgraced YouTube star Logan Paul is now in trouble with the Japanese police

It's safe to say that it's been a pretty rough week for Logan Paul. The YouTuber, who has an exceptionally large - and young - social media following, caused huge controversy this week when he uploaded a video of himself and his friends discovering a dead body in Japan's infamous 'suicide forest.' In the video, Paul can be seen laughing and seemingly mocking the hanging body that he and his friends have stumbled upon in the woods. The backlash that the vlogger has received on social media has led to him issuing two apologies for his actions, as well as removing the video from his channel. The incident has also raised several questions about YouTube's guidelines when it comes to sensitive content.

According to several reports,  Japanese police have said that they would like to speak to him in regards to the video. Masaki Ito, a spokesman for the Yamanashi Prefectural Police has told the press that they would like to talk to Paul. According to Ito, civilians are under no obligation to report a dead body, but he said that police are interested in talking to Paul due to the fact that a "suicide may be involved." Local police refused to comment on the issue, but it is uncommon for Japanese police to comment on suicide cases.

His first apology, which he posted on Twitter, was widely criticised by the public for being self-centred and insincere. In it, Paul spoke about his power and how he had 'never handled that power incorrectly.' But, even more bizarrely, he finished the message with the hashtag #Logang4life - something which really didn't go down well. After receiving criticism for the initial apology, Paul issued a video apology in which he said: "I made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement, and I don’t expect to be forgiven. I’m simply here to apologise. "What we came across in the woods that day was obviously unplanned. The reactions you saw on tape were raw; they were unfiltered. None of us knew how to react or how to feel. I should have never posted the video. I should have put the cameras down and stopped recording what we were going through.

"I want to apologise to the internet. I want to apologise to anyone who has seen the video. I want to apologise to anyone who has been affected or touched by mental illness, or depression, or suicide. But most importantly I want to apologise to the victim and his family. "For my fans who are defending my actions, please don't. I don’t deserve to be defended. My goal with my content is always to entertain; to push the boundaries, to be all-inclusive. "In the world live in, I share almost everything I do. The intent is never to be heartless, cruel, or malicious. Like I said I made a huge mistake.

And I promise to be better. I will be better. Thank you." It remains to be seen what action will be taken by the Japanese police and by YouTube regarding the video. But Paul's stock has undoubtedly fallen and it's hard to see a way back for him in the wake of all this negative press.
