An elderly convicted sex offender who became a YouTube sensation by posting videos of himself singing, died this week in prison.
Edward Muscare, 79, was best known as "edarem" on YouTube.
In 2010 he was sentenced in Lake County to five years in prision for posting the videos, which violated his probation. Sex offenders typically cannot have a computer.
Muscare's original crime happened more than two decades ago when he pleaded no contest in Orange County to a 1987 sexual battery of a boy. He served a prison term and was placed on a 10-year probabtion, but the term was extended twice because of subsequent violations. In 1998 he failed to comply with sex-offender-registration requirements when he lived in Lady Lake and he later moved to South Carolina without notifying authorities.
