Five-time financial felon Sharon Logan’s harassing and accusatory behavior isn’t limited to other people in the animal welfare world. Several romantic and professional relationships have ended with men seeking court protection from her.
The aspiring professional protester began this decade with no-contact orders against her from three different men. And two other men, including her ex-husband, had previously asked the court to keep Logan away from them.
We think this is noteworthy because it shows a pattern of personally abusive and intimidating behavior by Logan, who runs a small nonprofit called Paw Protectors, and solicits public donations. Logan keeps a high profile as an activist, while retaliating for any public mention of her extensive criminal history. We’ve posted a lot about Logan’s many theft convictions and unpaid debts (she owes more than $500,000 in court-ordered victim restitution alone, counting interest, plus six figures in other civil judgments, and is now trying to shed it in bankruptcy).
But Logan’s bad behavior extends beyond financial misfeasance.
Much of it is merely obnoxious, such as her penchant for publicly posting screenshots of former friends’ personal conversations, making online accusations of wrongdoing without providing evidence, or publicizing and ridiculing the personal troubles and financial difficulties of her perceived rivals. But occasionally, her treatment of others has resulted in court orders against her.
Most recently, Logan’s ex-boyfriend, Alex R., had a domestic violence restraining order against her in effect until February, 2021. Logan tried to turn the tables and get a restraining order against him, claiming abuse — but the court didn’t believe her. (Orange County Case No. 11V001517.) Alex R. was granted the restraining order in 2012, (he also had to evict Logan from his home, in Case No. 30-2012-00551760) and convinced the court in 2016 to renew it for five years, over Logan’s objection.
As part of Logan’s 2017 felony theft convictions (OC Case No. 16WF2434), the criminal court ordered her to have no contact with Don B. and Gary H., as well as to stay 100 yards away from the two plumbing businesses she stole from. (The court records don’t tell us the reasons for those orders, but they don’t appear standard. None of Logan’s other theft cases contained no-contact orders.) There was no expiration date on that order, but Logan’s probation for the felonies ended in June 2020.
Back in 1997, while Logan and James Arthur Hecox (now deceased) were divorcing, Mr. Hecox persuaded the court to grant a three-year anti-harassment order against Logan, in Riverside County Case No. RIC297701. Like Alex R., Mr. Hecox gave evidence of multiple false accusations by Logan, and efforts by Logan to harm his employment.
Logan also displayed behavioral problems during their years-long custody battle (RID172586), including one incident in January, 2001 where the court found she “lied to various law enforcement officers to have (Mr. Hecox) arrested.” At the time the court made that finding, Logan was in prison for stealing $250,000 from her employer, in Case No. RIF09464. Mr. Hecox had sole legal and physical custody for most of the court case, until his hospitalization in 2004.
Logan was also convicted of ID theft against Mr. Hecox.
In 2008, Logan’s boyfriend and skate shop business partner, Mark B, sought a restraining order against her but lost, in OC Case No. 08V001500. (We’re equally disinclined to view Mark B. as a victim; see Case No. 07WM09966, his guilty plea to Battery on Spouse/Cohabitant. We only mention this as another example of the conflict and legal trouble that seems common in Logan’s human interactions.)
The relationship also ended in a commercial eviction judgment against Logan, for the skate shop’s leased space (Case No. 30-2008-00093421). Logan failed to comply with the settlement she agreed to, and the landlord’s attorney told the court on October 3, 2008, that Logan threatened to damage the property if the landlord enforced the agreement.
Looking at Logan’s history of false accusations and harassment, it’s not surprising that more people haven’t called her out publicly about her extensive criminal history. The only evidence we’ve seen of anyone trying was the late Mission Viejo attorney Brady Price, in 2013.
Price, who despite appearing able to do better seems to have been involved with Logan, sued her in March, 2013, for personal loans he’d made to her. The same day he got the judgment, he posted about it on her Paw Protectors Page. He also accused her of stealing another $7,500 from him, and tricking him into believing she was Alex R.’s victim. He described her as a “2time felon” (it was actually three), and predicted she’d face a third strike.
However, we can’t find any prosecution record for Logan regarding Price. She pled guilty to three other thefts within the next few years, including the two felonies in Case No. 16WF2434. (Contrary to Price’s prediction, Logan only received a few months of weekend jail for her 4th and 5th felony thefts.)
On September 9, 2015, before the statute of limitations on grand theft was up, Price was found dead in his home.
So, we can’t ask Price why he didn’t prosecute. Who knows, maybe he and Logan worked out a deal. Or maybe the theft didn’t happen.
But we suspect that when the attorney discovered Logan’s history of harassment and false accusations, he worried he’d become another one of her targets. Based upon Logan’s recent online behavior, it appears to still be a sensible worry for anyone who crosses her.
