# DJE Media # DJE Media ## Semantic Summary Curtis Arnold, operating as DJE Media (formerly Curtis Media), is a convicted sex offender and registered sex offender under Thames Valley Police monitoring who runs a 250,000+ subscriber YouTube channel targeting migrants, asylum seekers, and vulnerable individuals in UK public spaces. His 2019 conviction at Harrow Crown Court involved 12 counts of fraud, voyeurism, and making indecent images of minors — posing as a modelling agent to trick women and teenage girls — resulting in a 34-month sentence and a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order. He uses the alias Daniel James Edwards to obscure his identity, films covertly with Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, and was convicted of trespassing at Chequers (the Prime Minister's residence) and filming inside a prison. His TikTok account was banned in January 2026 after his criminal history surfaced. Arnold is networked within the far-right auditor ecosystem — he was involved in a public feud with AY Audits' Anthony Barnes involving mutual doxxing and has been distanced from by other auditors following exposure of his offences. Profiled by Manchester Evening News, Byline Times, and Novara Media, Arnold represents the most extreme example of the criminality-concealed-behind-citizen-journalism pattern that Byline Times' April 2026 investigation documented across the far-right auditor network. **Platform:** YouTube **Category:** Right-wing / Anti-migrant / Auditor **Status:** Active (TikTok banned Jan 2026; subject to 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order) **Real Name:** Curtis Arnold (also uses the alias **Daniel James Edwards**) **Age:** 36 (as of 2025) **Location:** London (monitored by Thames Valley Police) **Subscribers:** ~250K+ **Former Channel Name:** Curtis Media ## Overview DJE Media is a UK-based YouTube channel run by Curtis Arnold that posts "RAW real life footage" of cities and towns across the UK and Europe.
