A 45-year-old man has been accused of posing online as One Direction's Harry Styles in a sick bid to allegedly entice young girls to perform sex acts for him.

According to authorities, it's claimed Eastman would sometimes offer concert tickets in exchange for children posing naked or performing sex acts online.

Eastman's webcam captured pornographic images of children believed to be as young as five years old while he spoke with them online, an arrest warrant stated.

Computers allegedly belonging to Eastman were said to have hundreds of vile videos and pictures stored on them.

The Waterbury Republican-American reports charges against him include employing a minor in an obscene performance.
