Florida TikTok ‘Demonologist’ Re-arrested for Allegedly Exposing Women’s Private Data
Mark Stephen Asea, who identifies as a 'Grey Hat Hacker,' faces a felony charge after prosecutors revived an earlier case.
A Florida TikTok creator, who styles himself as a “demonologist” and “Grey Hat Hacker,” has been arrested again on charges of exposing women’s private information and claiming he could track their movements via their phones. Mark Stephen Asea, 36, of Port St. Lucie, was booked into the St. Lucie County Jail on September 30 on a felony charge of offense against computer users. His bond was set at $35,000.
This arrest marks a resurgence of a criminal case that had previously been dismissed. Asea was initially arrested in April on stalking and computer-related allegations. However, prosecutors dropped those charges in May before filing the current computer-access charge in September, according to court records.
A police affidavit details accusations from two women who reported their private information appearing in Asea’s TikTok posts. One woman stated she had entrusted Asea with helping her with a computer issue.
In a video reviewed by a detective, Asea allegedly detailed information about one woman’s devices and claimed knowledge of her recent spending habits. "Let’s talk about your actual password," he reportedly said, according to the affidavit. "How about we talk about the last 10 purchases you made online?"
The woman told investigators that the password had only been shared within a private TikTok group chat, to which Asea was not a member, although she suspected he may have joined using a fake account. She asserted that no one in the chat had permission to share the information externally and stated she did not know how he obtained her phone identification number or banking details.
The second woman’s concerns began after Asea allegedly accessed her computer remotely in October 2025 to troubleshoot an application. Months later, she reported that Asea claimed to have installed a virus on her computer while she was away, enabling him to access information without her consent.
She further stated that a photograph from a private Telegram message on her phone allegedly appeared in one of Asea’s TikTok posts. Asea claimed the image originated from a WhatsApp exchange, but the woman provided investigators with a screenshot showing the photograph within the Telegram message.
Investigators also documented statements where Asea appeared to boast about locating the woman via her phone. "Thanks to the GPS within her phone, but what did I do?" he was quoted as saying in the video, according to the affidavit.
Investigators noted that Asea allegedly uploaded over 100 TikTok videos mentioning one of the women, sometimes posting as many as six videos in a single day. He also reportedly posted a photograph of her getting a tattoo on a website.
Asea’s TikTok biography lists him as a “Demonologist,” “Clairsentient,” “Empath,” “PTSD,” “Grey Hat Hacker,” and “Woodsman.” His previous TikTok biography in April included “former satanist” and “cybersecurity engineer.”
A separate civil stalking protection case involving Asea was filed over the summer. While a woman obtained a temporary injunction in July, a judge dissolved it and dismissed the case on September 8.
Prosecutors reopened the criminal case on September 24, leading to the current charge. The records do not specify why the earlier charges were dropped or what prompted the renewed prosecution. Asea is scheduled for arraignment on November 19.
