Uncle Kracker says he is innocent on sex offence charges

Uncle Kracker was arrested Friday morning in North Carolina for a forcible sex offence charge. The 33-year-ol DJ was released on a $75,000 bond and he is now speaking out about his arrest.

“It’s regrettable that someone would make this kind of allegation, not only because it’s not the kind of thing I’d do, as the father of three girls, it’s the kind of thing I wouldn’t stand for,” Kraker, whose real name is Matthew Shafer, says. “Anyone can say anything about anybody but it doesn’t make it true or correct. This is one of those cases. I’m saddened that anyone might think I’m capable of this sort of thing.”

Shafer has had hits including “Follow Me” and “When the Sun Goes Down” with country singer Kenny Chesney.
