"Uncle" Ed Muscare

​Former children's show host and 77-year-old registered sex offender "Uncle" Ed Muscare is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday, January 6, for violating his probation by using the Internet and moving to South Carolina without notifying the sheriff's department, according to an Orlando television station.

Here's video from an Orlando TV station WKMG of Muscare arguing that sex offenders deserve second chances, although he does say, "I would never sexually offend again, but we can't help but sin. We're all human beings."

Real reassuring.

"Uncle" Ed had been posting bizarre videos to YouTube, including him singing "Pretty Woman" and letting a dog suckle on his bare stomach.

Muscare was arrested in 1986 for molesting a 14-year-old Florida boy. Since, he's reportedly had trouble registering as a sex offender.

In the TV interview, Muscare explains that he didn't register because neighbors would harass him so he "hid successfully in South Carolina, until one day the deputy sheriff showed up" and arrested him.

This video appeared on Muscare's YouTube page on December 11, thanking his fans for sending letters to the judge on his behalf and begging his fans to send money to help him find a state that will allow registered sex offenders to use computers.
