Last week, we learned that June Shannon is dating a convicted child molester named Mark McDaniel.

Shannon initially denied the reports, but TLC canceled Here Comes Honey Boo Boo after uncovering evidence that Shannon had, in fact, been spending time with McDaniel.

The scandal has only worsened over the weekend, as June’s daughter Anna Shannon came forward as the victim of McDaniel’s abuse.

Now, in perhaps the most shocking development thus far, TMZ has obtained photos of McDaniel with Alana Thompson – June’s 9-year-old daughter who is better known publicly as Honey Boo Boo.

 

The photos serve as clear evidence that Shannon has exposed her youngest child to the same man who sexually assaulted her eldest daughter, Anna.

The new evidence could have legal ramifications for McDaniel, who is forbidden to have contact with young children under the conditions of his release.

McDaniel was sentenced to ten years in prison after being arrested for molesting Anna Shannon in 2004. He was released in March of this year.

June Shannon’s four daughters all have different fathers and two of the men have served time in prison. Anthony Michael Ford – the father of 17-year-old Jessica “Chubs” Shannon – is a convicted sex offender who served two years in prison for child molestation.

The Shannon family has not yet spoken publicly about the accusation that June is endangering her children by exposing them to McDaniel.
