Clear Channel DJ Threatens On Air to Sexually Abuse 4-Year-Old

HeadlineMay 15, 2006

In New York, a popular disc jockey working for Clear Channel has been arrested on charges of endangering the welfare of a child. The DJ, known as Star, threatened on-air to sexually abuse the four-year-old daughter of a rival radio personality. He also offered listeners $500 for information on where the four-year-old went to school. In addition he made anti-Asian slurs about the girl’s mother. Up until last week Star co-hosted the popular syndicated morning show “Star & Buc Wild.” Clear Channel fired him on Wednesday but only after a member of the New York City council took issue with the broadcast.
