Man Threatens To Release Painting Of Dr. Seuss Characters - In Sex Acts

[matcom]

<snip>

A MAN has tried to extort the widow of legendary US children's author known as "Dr Seuss" by threatening to circulate a painting of his famous characters engaged in sexual acts.

In a bizarre case, Charles Augustus Steen, 33, was sentenced to three years probation and ordered to undergo anger management classes after pleading guilty to attempting to extort US$2.5 million ($3.45 million) from Theodor Geisel's widow, according to court records.

Mr Geisel, known to millions under his pen name of Dr Seuss, created some of the world's best-known children's characters, including scheming The Cat in the Hat and the Christmas-spoiling Grinch.

But Steen, who lives in the northwestern state of Oregon, sullied the image of the clean-cut cast of characters by threatening to expose their adult side.

He demanded cash from Audrey Geisel, who lives in California, in return for not making public a painting he did depicting the Seuss characters engaged in "sexual behaviour," documents from San Diego police showed.

Some artists have no talent and pull this shit, but they don't go off blackmailing and trying to pull extortion.
