HOLY CRAP

You know that video I posted a few days ago of the old man singing, the one where I said, “I just found my new favorite person on the internet!” Turns out he was a really popular TV host in the 70’s and 80’s of kids shows. Also turns out that he is registered sex offender - here’s his sex offfender page. According to this article on topix.com:

“In 1987 he was arrested for sexually beating a 14 year old boy. He spent 12 years in prision and was released in 1998 only to be charged for breaking his probation in 2007. He is a free man now…”

And here I thought he was just a lovable wacky old man. Thanks to my buddy Whit Hereford for letting me know all this and ruining my innocence.
