There is much more on Jonathan to be discovered. Much of this post is NSFW. If you see anything in it that needs to be archived or clarified, please let me know.
When not trying to force teenaged girls into submission through legal threats, Jonathan "Jessica" Yaniv had a side hustle of selling pornographic videos and pictures of a woman named "Krista Gunn." He also pretended to be this woman, catfishing people in order to get press for his projects and wrote under the guise of this character, for apparent sexual gratificatoin. Let's look at how he did it.
Krista Gunn is the pseudonymn using by an actual woman when she was working with the website SouthernCharms.com. Jonathan chose to keep using that name and did not the hide the connection to SoutherCharms.com
Jonathan worked in marketing for a gaming/tech website called
Gizmofusion around 2011. The site no longer exists, but an
archive of it from 2014 is here. Jonathan's name is not mentioned on the website itself anywhere, but he pops up in marketing materials. The most obvious example are his appearances on their Youtube channel. His face appears in one video and his voice in a second (

Archive 2.) On the website RedFlagDeals.com, the account
Jonathan334, from Surrey (
Archive) posts links to
giveaways put on by Gizmofusion so it's quite obvious that he's working for them.
Here he is creeping out some poor floor model:

Gizmofusion was obscure enough that we can look through it's search results for anomalies. One that stuck out to me was a tumblr called "
GamerGirlXXX-Blog" (
Archive.) It consists mostly of someone shilling pornographic images and videos of a person they claim to be, soliciting payments to
kristagunn@gmail.com. Some of the pictures feature awkward cropping, but some don't even manage to remove the URL to SouthernCharms on them.

The other thing it has are a few inexplicable links to the aformentioned GizmoFusion.com

I found this odd, so I decided to dig a little deeper on our "GamerGirl." As it turns out, there was a writer for Gizmofusion who went by Krista. Despite the fact that Gizmofusion no longer works, we can still see a quite a few articles on N4G by our "girl" Krista, most of which seem to lean heavily on how much of a sexxxy gamergrrrl she is.

Could this be the same Krista? In short, yes, but here is how I concluded that: Starting with the e-mail provided to send money to for the pictures, I came across two accounts. The first is a twitter account that is currently suspended - @KristaGunns (
Link to mentions), mostly peddling the same wares. Though we can't see the actual tweets, we can see all
the tweets that were sent to it, which show that he's still trying to play his "gamergrrl" persona.
We also find a wordpress under the name
gamergirl36dd (
Archive) This is useful because it gives us another, even more frequently used username and more of the same content.
More importantly, it provides us with
confirmation (
Archive) that the person claiming to be Krista Gunn is the person writing under the name "Krista" on GizmoFusion.

Of course, we haven't yet connected Krista Gunn to Jonathan Yaniv or yet, so let's take care of that. By using the Twitter search "KristaGunn" we can see that he eventually got suspended from the "@KristaGunn" account and moved to "@GamerGirlXXX" before moving again to to "@GamerGirl36DD."

By checking GamerGirl36DD, the only twitter account of his that has not been wiped or suspended (Though the picture of it has been changed to that of a generic woman and mostly seems to spam thai nonsense now) we can see that once again, he is inexplicably pimping out links to only one tech site, Gizmofusion.

We can also see that GamerGirl36DD was known as the Krista on Gizmofusion by various twitter users:

And if we look at their mutual mentions...Jonathan shows up in both, both connected both Krista accounts with the "TrustedNerd" persona The first one is particularly damning since it shows that he signed up both accounts for the same follow train.

The only real question is why was he using this persona? Was it simply a cashgrab by becoming a protothot? Did the other owner and other writers at Gizmofusion know that "Krista" was a creepy pervert? Who knows. From what I can see, there was apparently a falling out between Jonathan and Gizmofusion resulting in Jonathan attempting to wipe all signs of his connection off of the internet.
Point is, there's still lots more digging to do on this guy.
Here is a list of all the accounts that I believe belong to Jonathan that are related to the Krista Gunn persona.

There is also another Reddit account that has been deleted, but I believe it was "GamerGirl36dd." A search of that name with "Reddit" brings up some old posts by and about "Krista."
