Colin Leahy, American Idol Reject, Arrested for Propositioning a Child
A former contestant, Colin Leahy, on American Idol who considered himself similar to Clay Aiken has been arrested for two counts of child endangerment, the DA told TMZ.
The 23-year-old was caught sending sex-laced text messages to a 12-year-old boy and propositioning a ten-year old while volunteering at a Brooklyn elementary school.
Special schools investigator Richard Condon said the 23-year-old was charged with two counts of child endangerment for his allegedly inappropriate behavior with students at Public School 236 in Mill Basin.
In 2003, Leahy was briskly booted from the third season of “American Idol.” His poor performance and humiliating rejection were broadcast on the program.
Leahy described himself in the audition as being just like Aiken, the runnerup in the second season.
“What I have in common with Clay is that I’m also a camp counselor,” Leahy said. “I like to make people happy and smile.”
Well looks like Colin will be able to make lots of people smile and be happy behind prison bars! What a creeper!
