Excuse me...I think they said "attempted Sodomy".
I will have to replay it but I believe they said he was convicted on the charges.
So, I wonder what they're trying to imply with this info ... that Shawn perhaps *sought out* a sexual relationship with Devlin because his biological father may have been gay?
Maybe they're not trying to imply anything, but I've been rather appalled at some of the media's skepticism about Shawn and his parents and their digging for this kind of info. The Akers certainly seem true blue to me, and Shawn does as well. He seems like a really sweet kid who obviously loves his parents and is glad to be home with them.
