Sidney Starr Charged in Alleged Sexual Assault of a Minor Near Atlanta

Restricted public detail to protect the minor has left prosecution in the hands of the Fulton County district attorney's office.

Overview

  • Police arrested Sidney Favors, known professionally as Sidney Starr, after an alleged sexual assault at an Embassy Suites on International Boulevard and booked her on multiple felony counts including aggravated child molestation, sodomy, and sexual battery of a child under 16.
  • Authorities say the case involves a juvenile and have released few facts because of the victim's age, then turned the investigation over to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
  • Starr was transported to Fulton County Jail and remained in custody as the case moved forward; officials have not disclosed whether she has entered a plea or secured legal representation.
  • Starr is a 37-year-old transgender model and reality-TV personality with credits on Love & Hip Hop: New York, Wild ’N Out and the Baddies franchise, and she previously drew publicity for a retracted relationship claim involving rapper Chingy.
  • The charges carry serious felony penalties if proven, and the next steps to watch are formal charging actions by the Fulton County DA, any court appearances, and any public response or legal filings from Starr or her counsel.
