On Tuesday, the bomb squad was called to explode suspicious packages with a water canon sent to a Dance Moms star. While there were no explosives, the packages were found to include child pornography. According to Perez Hilton, the messages were about kidnapping and rape, and mentioned Elizabeth Smart.
“Apparently, the middle-aged man was arrested back in 2007 for assaulting his 18-year-old girlfriend — he was eventually sentenced to 3 years behind bars but was moved to a hospital once diagnosed with a mental disorder. It’s reported he even had a creepy (and violent) obsession over Lindsay Lohan at the time.”
The New York Daily News is reporting that Sundown has started giving jailhouse interviews, saying he has sent things in the mail to other celebrities for their birthdays.
“I never thought of them being serious,” he said. “I would never harm any children. I’ve never had sex with other children.”
Sundown claims he wanted to contact the Dance Moms star because he has always enjoyed the photos posted on her Instagram account.
