Davidsfarm was arrested for possession of child pornography.

A London man who rose to fame performing stunts on YouTube before the online video provider pulled the plug on his channel amid media reports of his criminal past is facing child pornography charges.

David Rock, 51, is charged with two counts of possession of child pornography and one count of accessing child pornography, London police said Thursday.

When contacted Thursday, Rock said the charges are related to a nudist video.

“It’s a nudist video. There’s no sexual content whatsoever,” said Rock, who described himself as a nudist. “That’s all I’m going to say.”

Rock landed in the Internet limelight in 2009 after his YouTube channel Davidsfarm, featuring Rock performing driving stunts at his Lucan farm, generated around 100 million hits worldwide.

The channel proved lucrative for Rock, earning him upwards of $15,000 a month through YouTube’s profit-sharing agreement.

But Rock’s sudden fame also led to a Free Press report that uncovered Rock was a convicted sex offender.
