'Edarem' was born as Edward Muscare on September 27, 1932 in Corona, Queens, Long Island, New York. He was the youngest of 7 children. When he was around ten, he got in trouble for 'playing doctor' with one of his neighbors in her garage. When he was much older, he got caught fondling a 14 year old relative at a birthday party. Because of this, he served 18 months in prison and 10 years probation. 23 years later, after edarem became famous on youtube for his hilariously creepy videos, he was arrested for uploading videos. He wasn't aware it was illegal, and after he got a warning, he had his friend upload the videos for him. He claimed that because he wasn't uploading them, he couldn't get in trouble. However, he was later found guilty and sentenced to five years in jail. Rumors speculated that he had hung himself in jail. These are just rumors.
