American Idol Hopeful Arrested
Filed under: Legal Matters > American Idol
This is despicable!
A Pennsylvania man auditioning in New Jersey for American Idol paid a woman with learning difficulties for sex!
21-year-old Joshua Heintzelman was at a Clifton motel when he offered the 19-year-old $13 in exchange for sex. She was in town supporting a family member who was also auditioning.
Her mother became suspicious when she saw that her daughter bought a sweater when she doesn't have any money. Her family says she has the mental capacities of a third grader.
So unbelievably shameful!!
Heintzelman is being held on $200,000 bail.
Lock the bastard up!

GaGa Writing A Song About Equality!
He thought it was Paula Abdul.
You have to watch disabled family members like a hawk. This woman shouldn't have been left alone with this stranger. His actions were contemptible (thirteen dollars??!) and I hope he faces a felony charge.
I am the mother of an autistic child. It galls me how depraved people can sometimes be.
What exactly is the crime? I didn't know it was illegal to have sex with the mentally handicapped? The worst they can charge him with it soliciting a prostitute I guess?
The American legal system is shameful.
Perez, learning disabilities are not the same as mental retardation. This post may have been very insulting for some to read 'learning difficulties' in the same sentence as 'mental capacities of a third grader”. Remember, many celebrities, including Alyssa Milano, have learning disabilities, and that does not qualify them as retarded.
Retards need sex too.
Off with his SHLONG! >:[
Pervert!
Surely a third grader (or someone with the mental age of one) knows what sex is, and that they shouldn't take money for it. Or even that it's bad to take money from strangers. I would have known that when I was 8/9. Even if she didn't know it was wrong, she shouldn't have been alone for long enough for it to happen.
I once slept with a dyslexic guy (and I had taken him for dinner beforehand). Phew! I got lucky!!!
Deplorable! Very sad how some people treat children with mental disabilities. He should be put in jail for a long time!! SICKO
Yeah he is trash…but more importantly if she has the mental capacity of a 3rd grader, someone should have been with her from her family.
And this is important why? We don't know either person. Just become some idiot auditioned for AI doesn't mean it's newsworth.
WHO GIVES A CRAP? God Perez, desperate for something to write about? Must be.
That's fucked up, but where the hell were her parents? Would you ever leave a third grader alone long enough to be solicited and have sex? Noooooo. Why would you leave a mentally handicapped person with the same capacity as a 8/9 year old alone to roam a fucking hotel????? He's disgusting, and so are the parents. Annnnd worse shit happens every day that isn't relevant to AI so,… shut the fuck up.
If she has the mental capacities of a third grader then why did her family leave her alone? I'm not even talking about leaving her alone with Josh. Why did they let her go shopping alone to buy that sweater? People need to learn how to watch their kids better. If she really has the mind of a third grader then no good parent would leave her alone. If the parents want to argue that she is an adult and can be left alone then don't get mad when she has sex. They can't have it both ways.
….she was 19 yo and maybe she just asked him to buy her a sweater?….they both were legal what is the big deal…evidently she didn't look like a tard…..the family is to blame for this if there is a problem….
I DONT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH WHAT HE DID. SO JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A RETARD YOUR NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE SEX? THATS RIDICULOUS. I DONT WANT THAT BYTCH HAVING BABIES BUT HE SHOULD BE GIVEN A HUMANITARIAN AWARD FOR GIVING A RETARD SOME ACTION
Re: caroaber – SO IT WOULDNT BE COMTEMPTIBLE IF HE HAD PAID HER $50? I DONT THINK HE DID ANYTHING WRONG, RETARDS HAVE A RIGHT TO PHUCK TOO
THERES NO CRIME HERE. SHE WAS 19 AND HE WAS 21, THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO SCREW
SO YOU CAN HAVE THE MENTAL CAPACITY TO GO INTO A STORE AND BUY A SWEATER BUT NOT BE SMART ENOUGH TO SUCK A GUYS DIK OFF???
learning disabilities aren't the same thing as mental retardation. she could have dyslexia or something. obviously she has enough "mental capacity" to know what sex is and how to do it. and she was 19, not a "child" no one said she was autistic. and they thought she could handle herself enough to leave her alone. and he was 21 its not like he was 47. i say, over-reaction.
Whoa! I hope she is alright.
its mental capacity not PLURAL capacities
also a learning disability is no where near mental retardation
your new writer is awful
thousands and thousands of people have auditioned for this show
frankly im shocked that there arent more criminals among ALL of these people that have auditioned
what a douche bag…so disgusting!
