A video of a man touching a child inappropriately in the background of a BBC sports footage is going viral and causing concern among internet users.
In the video, a man is seen licking the boy’s face and biting his ear at the World Snooker Championship in Sheffield, England.
The child appears extremely uncomfortable, and the man, who doesn’t seem to know he is on camera, begins to play it off once he realizes others can see him.
The video alarmed viewers and they started clamoring to identify the adult.
One person wrote: “That video just makes me wanna scream and if people do not recognize what’s going on I don’t know what to say. It’s just hurts my heart. please help this boy. Please get this man away from children.”
TikTok star Robbie Harvey has now claimed that the man in question is Stefano Voci, who appears to reside in Italy, and has allegedly posted questionable things to Facebook.
Harvey quickly pointed out that Voci deleted all of his social media in the days following the uproar, and his quick disappearance makes many wonder if he is guilty.
Watch the video below.

🚨 Here is a video from the now-deleted Facebook page of Stefano Voci (the man allegedly caught on live TV inappropriately touching a young boy at a Snooker tournament) ⚠️
For reference, “VM 14 anni” is Italian for “at 14 years” which is such a creepy caption to use for that‼️ pic.twitter.com/VoRD4tPwvL
