Katy Perry Gives Contestant His First Kiss on 'American Idol' Season Premiere The pop star and judge on ABC's reboot of the long-running singing competition gave 19-year-old contestant Benjamin Glaze a peck on the lips. I’ve never been in a relationship. I can’t kiss a girl without being in a relationship.
A “ American Idol ” contestant who went viral for kissing Katy Perry on the show has been handed a hefty sentence for stockpiling child porn — with a wild set of restrictions if he ever gets free, including tests on how sexually excited he gets.
Benjamin Glaze, who was just 19 when the pop-star judge gave him his first kiss in 2018, was sentenced to 25 years after admitting to being addicted to child porn, with a minimum of 15 years to be served behind bars, with the other 10 years suspended. However, to get out after 15 years, he must accept an extreme list of conditions — including a penile plethysmograph test, in which a device measures blood flow to his private parts while he’s shown different kinds of content, according to court documentsThe now-27-year-old pervert must also take an Abel Screening, a psychosexual evaluation that measures how long the pedophile’s eyes stay on images of children versus adults, the outlet reported. Glaze is also banned from entering strip clubs, sex shops, massage parlors or adult theaters. He is not permitted to look at pornography, call sex hotlines or pick up hitchhikers. The sentencing even dictates that Glaze must wear appropriate clothing — and underwear — at all times. Glaze must also submit regular blood samples to test for sexually transmitted diseases, and registering as a sex offender.Police seized Glaze’s phone and discovered more than 700 pieces of child sexual abuse material, cops said. He was convicted of aggravated possession of child sexual abuse material last week, records show.Benjamin Glaze must undergo a series of tests and register as a sex offender before his release, according to court documents.Glaze was on “American Idol” in 2018, where he performed Nick Jonas’s single “Levels” for judges Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan and Perry. While the judges voted not to send him to Hollywood, he admitted he had never been in a relationship or kissed a girl, which prompted Perry to smooch the then-19-year-old on the lips.Glaze later told the New York Times following his audition that if it were up to him, he would’ve said no so that his first kiss could “be special.” How a 24-year-old illegal migrant dad was caught posing as high school kid in the US — through one phone callMikie Sherrill's under scrutiny over her 2 kids being accepted into highly competitive school: 'What are the chances?'Lionel Richie fans revolt over ‘concert’ that turned out to be book talk Conspiracy Theorists Are Locked In On ‘Snake Eyes,’ A 1998 Movie Featuring The Assassination Of A Character Named Charles KirklandBenjamin Glaze must undergo a series of tests and register as a sex offender before his release, according to court documents.
