Reality television personality Sidney Starr, legally identified as Sidney Favors, has been arrested in Georgia after authorities accused the entertainer of sexually assaulting a minor at a metro Atlanta hotel.

According to arrest warrants obtained by multiple media outlets, Favors was taken into custody on Sunday at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Hapeville following allegations involving a juvenile male.

Sidney Starr Facing Multiple Serious Charges

Court and jail records show Favors is currently being held without bond at the Fulton County Jail. Authorities have charged Favors with:

  • Aggravated child molestation

  • Sexual battery against a child under the age of 16

  • Sodomy

The charges stem from an alleged incident that reportedly occurred Sunday morning at the Hapeville hotel.

Arrest Warrant Details

According to the arrest warrants, investigators allege that Favors admitted to performing oral sex on a juvenile male during questioning, while claiming the encounter was consensual.

Under Georgia law, however, a minor below the legal age of consent cannot legally provide consent to sexual activity. The allegations remain part of an active criminal investigation, and the charges have not yet been tested in court.

Police Decline to Release Additional Information

A spokesperson for the Hapeville Police Department told local media that investigators could not provide additional details because the case involves a juvenile victim.

Authorities have not released the age or identity of the alleged victim.
