Sheets allegedly videotaped and photographed the teen while he was nude, and also had sexual interactions with him, authorities said.

3APPARENTLY, HE COULDN'T AFFORD BABYSITTER

State Police say a New Jersey man left his two young children home alone while he robbed a convenience store over the weekend.

Trevor Calhoun wore a mask and pointed a hair brush that appeared to be a gun at the cashier at Bud's Market in Alloway Township on Sunday, said State Police Sgt. Stephen Jones.

Witnesses provided a license-plate number, and troopers found the 26-year-old at his Quinton Township home with his children. Calhoun faces robbery, child-endangerment and other charges, police said.

The children were turned over to their mother, who was at work during the heist.
