So if Shawn's father was a perv, the only reason it would be brought up is if Shawn was his victim. Shawn was born in '91 so in 1994 he would've only been three.

Remember that bizarre poem reports have said Shawn wrote?

------
Little Shawn smokes six Ax's a day.
He started smoking when he was three.
Now he's burried under the willow tree.

Could it be another cryptic message like the ones he wrote on his parents' website? Maybe that's why this was being reported?

I wonder what he means by "smokes six Ax's a day"?

Grim Reapers normally have a ax's (axe's) and the poem is titled "Death"

actually the grim reaper carries a sickle...

I hadn't heard about that poem. Is there any reason to believe he wrote it other than the use of "devlin" and "shawn"?

I think I found the case Fox reported on. It does look like it could be Shawn's biological father. I'm not sure what the reporter meant by something happening in 2002. The case I found had an arrest warrant issued in April 1993 (when Shawn was not yet two, I believe) and the conviction was made in 1994. However, the information I found does not have any details on the charges filed nor the sentence given.

In any case, I think it all is neither here or there and very sick for the media to bring up like this.
