Warning About Sharon Jean Logan, Repeat Embezzler Behind Paw Protectors

21/03/2025

Wow, this story about the Steffen Baldwin fingerprint link in Maura Murray's cold case disappearance has legs. Here's an interview with Detective Jim Conroy, the lead investigator in Baldwin's fraud/animal cruelty case.

Conroy's investigative efforts ultimately led to Baldwin's conviction on 32 counts, and prison sentence of 15 1/2 years.

Baldwin, working with 6Time Financial Felon Sharon Logan, argued after the trial ended that the state violated its duty to turn over exculpatory evidence because prosecutors didn't tell him Conroy had some old personnel complaints in other police agencies. It wasn't clear whether the prosecutors even knew about it. Logan, an aggressive Baldwin supporter, apparently found the information by googling Conroy. (Logan also worked to harass and embarrass other witnesses against Baldwin, including Litsa Kargakos and Dr. Saskia Boisot, by posting about unrelated litigation and gossip about their personal lives.)

Logan then agitated for a "mistrial" on her Paw Protectors page, and Baldwin posted mysteriously about this supposedly explosive evidence that had allegedly been withheld. (If the information was really so good for Baldwin, and even Sharon Logan could find it, you'd think his defense would have found it on their own.)

Ultimately, the court reopened the trial a few months later just to take evidence on that issue. It sure doesn't seem to have helped Baldwin. But at least it eliminates an issue on appeal.

True crime reporter James Renner, who broke the fingerprint connection, is also interviewed. (Listen, and tell us he doesn't totally sound like Will Forte in "Bodkin.")

Earlier this week we told you about a former Ohio humane agent who was sentenced to more than 15 years in prison for his role in the deaths of more than a dozen dogs. Corey McCrae reports on how he's

Other media are picking up on crime reporter James Renner 's story about Steffen Baldwin's fingerprint link to the 2004 Maura Murray cold case.

But so far, no interviews with Baldwin's biggest supporter, 6Time Financial Felon Sharon Logan.

6Time, despite all her agitation and harassment in defense of Baldwin as an innocent supposed "victim" of San Diego's Dr. SB (who won a restraining order against Logan last September), has kept mum since his drubbing in court.

Wonder if Logan has paid Dr. SB any of that $30K-plus in attorney fees the court ordered. We predict she'll be as diligent in avoiding that as she's been with the $600k-plus she owes the crime victims of her multiple frauds and embezzlements over the years.

Here's what we know about Steffen Baldwin, the former animal advocate sentenced to 15 years in prison for cruelty to companion animals and more.

Yes, it's the same Steffen Baldwin. The convicted animal abuser that 6Time Financial Felon Sharon Logan tried to sell to the public as a victim.
Maura Murray's cold case disappearance happened in February, 2004 -- but Baldwin's fingerprints weren't available to the FBI until they were uploaded as part of Baldwin's arrest in Ohio v. Baldwin.

This true crime writer and podcaster, James Renner, somehow learned about the fingerprint match. He's been covering the Murray disappearance for a long time. As luck would have it, he lives in Ohio. He went to the sentencing hearing and scored an interview with Baldwin.

So far, this story is exclusive to Renner. We are enjoying his podcast, and also reading his book on Murray's disappearance, "True Crime Addict." (We don't know yet if the book mentioned Steffen Baldwin.)

For anyone watching "Bodkin" on Netflix, Renner looks and sounds a bit like Will Forte's character (also a true crime podcaster).

A deeper dive into Steffen Baldwin and his connections to Maura Murray.

Our favorite quote from the prosecution's sentencing brief regarding convicted fraudster and dog abuser Steffen Baldwin:

"Litsa Kargakos is a warrior. She is fierce, strong, and relentless."

14/03/2025

We sure do love watching bad people lose.

The court ordered 15 1/2 years in prison for convicted fraudster and dog abuser Steffen Baldwin! This is what happens when you team up with 6Time Financial Felon Sharon Logan in your fraud case.

Logan, reportedly, skipped the sentencing hearing, despite attending part of Baldwin's trial, and despite her extensive history of support for Baldwin, which included disparaging the lead investigator, and witnesses for the prosecution, on both her Paw Protectors page, and her harassment page about Dr. Saskia Boisot. (The court ordered her to take it down last year as part of Dr. Boisot's restraining order against Logan. )

We hear the judge really dressed Baldwin down at the sentencing hearing, too. More about that when we have it.

In the recent weeks before this morning's "guilty" ruling against him on 32 criminal counts, mostly for animal cruelty, theft, and fraud, 6Time Financial Felon Sharon Logan's cause celebre Steffen Baldwin was trying to revive the disgraced dog-training business he'd used to commit many of his felonies.

We hope the Union County, Ohio court considers that at Baldwin's sentencing hearing.

We also hope the court takes into account Baldwin's assistance of Orange County, CA-based Logan in her extensive harassment of Dr. Saskia Boisot and Litsa Kargakos, who were both witnesses against Baldwin, in 6Time's unsuccessful efforts to thwart the prosecution of Baldwin for conning multiple dog owners into paying him to board and train their dogs, then having the dogs euthanized instead, and lying about it to keep raising money. (See link in comments.)

Logan's harassment of Dr. Boisot was so outrageous that the San Diego Superior Court granted Boisot a 5-year restraining order against Logan in September 2024, as well as awarding Boisot more than $30,000 in attorney fees against Logan. Logan even copycatted our Warning page in her harassment campaign against Boisot (see third picture, below), but was ordered by the court to take it down.

Logan also harassed and lied about Litsa Kargakos, one of the star witnesses against Baldwin, on Logan's nonprofit Paw Protectors page, as well as Logan's harassment page directed at Boisot. However, the Ohio court disagreed that the prosecution was the result of Kargakos's "personal vendetta," as 6Time characterized it. After all, 58 witnesses testified.

As for criminal restitution: We doubt whatever the court orders Baldwin to pay will come anywhere close to the $600,000-plus (counting interest) that Logan owes for her various felony convictions for embezzlement and theft from her employers and associates. (See link in comments.) But we hope the court does something to make the fraud victims whole. Keep in mind, Baldwin was granted bankruptcy in 2023 (he dumped debt to his lawyers, among others), so it's five years before he can get another order.

But if the now-felonious Baldwin continues to take his cues from the long-felonious Logan, we predict he'll do everything possible to avoid repaying his victims. And, like Logan, will keep asking the public for donations.

02/01/2025

Happy New Year! Turns out 6Time Financial Felon Sharon Logan's witness harassment, false accusations, and other efforts to get the fraudulent, self-proclaimed dog whisperer Steffen Baldwin off the hook for his many crimes were unsuccessful.

The judge really handed it to Baldwin in this morning's ruling. With 32 convictions, Baldwin's feloniousness has surpassed his buddy Sharon Logan's.

Maybe Baldwin is realizing it wasn't such a good idea to team up with a 6Time Financial Felon. We really felt for his defense attorneys. They represented him vigorously, and we'd better not see Baldwin whining about how his well-deserved downfall is because he had a public defender.

It's bad enough Baldwin recently solicited donations via cash app, under the handle "SaveThemDogs" that he used during his crimes. (See comments for screenshot.) It appears Baldwin hasn't learned anything. We hope the judge considers that during Baldwin's sentencing hearing.

Congratulations to the prosecutors, the investigator, and all the other witnesses who stuck with this case for the many years it took to bring Baldwin to justice.

6Time Financial Felon Sharon Logan finally appears to be following the San Diego court's September 13, 2024 order to take down her harassing online material about her former rescue friend, Dr. Saskia Boisot.

In our experience, it's hard to get a takedown order, and even harder to get a prior restraint order. But Logan was that bad. She's also ordered to stay 100 yards away from Boisot for the next five years.

The court granted the civil harassment restraining order after theee days of testimony, during which Logan unsuccessfully tried to persuade the court that Logan was the real victim, and should be granted a restraining order against Boisot. The court found there was clear and convincing evidence Logan was harassing Boisot, and that Logan's rants about the San Diego doctor served no legitimate purpose.

Logan's harassment of Boisot was extensive and ongoing for years. It included a WordPress blog, whose address was the doctor's own name; a page; an Instagram account, and an "X" account.

Much of what Logan said about Boisot was apparently not true, and/or gotten from private sources. (That's different from what we do here, which is post true statements about Logan, with public records to back them up, for the legitimate purpose of warning the public, potential donors, and potential employers of Logan's documented, lengthy history of harassment, theft from employers, unpaid criminal restitution, and false accusations.)

Logan is no stranger to protection orders against her. By our count, this the sixth restraining/no-contact order a court has made against her. Other recent ones include a 2012 order protecting her former boyfriend, Alex R., which lasted until 2021; and two no-contact orders from the criminal Court in 2018 protecting the employer/victims of Logan's two most recent financial felonies.

Before Logan started the blog and other social media specifically dedicated to harassing Boisot, she used her nonprofit Paw Protectors page to publish Dr. Boisot's divorce documents, including personal information about her, her ex, and their children. (We hope Boisot remembers to make sure that goes down, too.)

We're happy that from now on, whenever we post true, relevant information about Sharon Logan's crimes, harassment, unpaid criminal restitution, dishonest claims, and various legal antics, we won't have to worry about Logan retaliating against Dr. Boisot.

Now, if only Logan would stop *doing* all that stuff. Then, we could quit writing about her.

15/09/2024

It's a permanent order now.
On Friday, the court granted Dr. Saskia Boisot a 5-year restraining order against 6Time Financial Felon Sharon Logan, who has been harassing the doctor, a former friend in animal rescue, for several years.
Logan must stay 100 yards away from Boisot -- and also must take down her page, blog, and all other social media dedicated to harassing Boisot.

Logan is also not allowed to make any more spurious complaints to the Medical Board about Dr. Boisot (who has no record of discipline, as we've posted previously). She's also not allowed to observe any more of the Boisot family's family court proceedings. (We were right, she'd actually been doing that!) Or, to otherwise try to get information from that case.
And here's where we come into the story: the court made a finding that we are *not* Dr. Boisot. (Which we've been telling everyone since we started this.) More about that, later.

Anyway, we were rooting for Dr. Boisot. It turns out that in addition to just being really nasty about Boisot (and a lousy writer to boot), Logan was claiming things about Boisot that just weren't true. We'll unpack that more, later.
As for Logan's ridiculous counter-request for a restraining order against Boisot? Denied. No surprise.

There's a hearing on October 18, 2024 regarding whether Logan should be ordered to pay the more than $50,000 in attorney fees these court proceedings cost her harassment victim. The judge has the power to make that order, and we don't see why she shouldn't.

So much for that clean slate Logan was recently bragging online that she's gotten from her 2022 bankruptcy. (Although, criminal restitution isn't dischargeable in bankruptcy, and Logan already owes more than $600,000 of that she's not paying.)

Despite the court's order, Logan hasn't taken down her anti-Boisot blog and other material as of this writing.
Logan may be planning on appealing. That's expensive, however. And her lawyer already indicated to the court that he'd represented Logan at a steep discount "so that she'd have representation."

So, appealing means 6Time either convinces a lawyer to do tens more thousands of dollars of work for free to relieve Logan from the consequences of her dishonesty and harassment, or finds it herself somewhere -- when she's already stiffing her victims with criminal restitution orders against her.
And, Logan could end up ordered to pay Boisot's attorney fees for an unsuccessful appeal. All told, she could be looking at a six-figure bill.
We expect to get paperwork early next week, and we'll post it when we've got it.

A hearty congratulations to Dr. Boisot.

Combat Ro has been infinitely helpful and patient in explaining shelter reform and cat welfare to me, topics about which I knew nothing before starting my Warning About Sharon Jean Logan, Repeat Embezzler Behind Paw Protectors page.

Add yet another restraining order to the long list against 6Time Financial Felon Sharon Logan.

Yes, the court in San Diego issued a temporary
order barring Logan from harassing her old rescue buddy, Dr. Saskia Boisot. Logan has to stay 100 yards away from Boisot until the hearing in August.

Logan tried, but failed, to get the court to issue a restraining order against Dr. Boisot.

Why? Mainly because of our efforts to warn the public about Logan's lengthy history of grift and harassment. Logan keeps trying to convince the public we're Dr. Boisot in disguise, even though we've been telling her for two years we're not, and that our problem with Logan is not her positions on animal welfare.

Even if we *were* Dr. Boisot, however, Logan still wouldn't have grounds for a restraining order. That's because, unlike Logan, we use true information from public sources. Like her many criminal records, for instance. And the information is relevant regarding a publicity hound who seeks public donations and tries to influence public policy.

Our anonymous days may be numbered. Logan said she plans to subpoena the records from our blog. Oh, well.

What do you want to bet that when the records prove we're *not* Dr. Boisot, that Logan won't change her tune one bit?

After all, Logan was publicly posting the Boisot family's divorce and custody records long before we knew of either of these ladies' existences.

She'll move on to some other cockamamie theory, like that we were put up to this two-year effort by Dr. Boisot in a conspiracy to thwart Logan's heroic anti-shelter rants at government meetings.

And she'll keep that "Donate" button up on her Paw Protectors site.

All 6Time Financial Felon Sharon Logan's Baby Reindeer-style efforts on behalf of accused animal abuser and fraudster Steffen Baldwin went completely ignored in Baldwin's defense's closing argument this week. (Probably luckily for Baldwin).

Nonetheless, the career Southern Cali grifter is still trying to use the discredited "dog whisperer's" criminal case for attention and donations to her nonprofit, Paw Protectors. (We're still not clear on what that nonprofit does.)

After harassing witnesses online, traveling out to Ohio for the tail end of Baldwin's four-week trial, and trying unsuccessfully to get reporters to quote her, Logan is now sneering on her Paw Protectors page about how Remi -- one of at least eight pet dogs the disgraced animal trainer was paid to train, had secretly euthanized, then lied about -- deserved to die.

And implying Baldwin did Remi's owners a favor.

Logan's meanspiritedness about the dog has been striking, coming from a claimed dog advocate. Then again, Logan also turned against Remi's owners in 2022 and publicly harassed them, after two years of spinning yarns to them about Logan's fantasy life wherein she owns real estate and is a successful paralegal and crypto investor, rather than a 55-year-old twice-bankrupt, frequently fired, admitted part-time pr******te who has done multiple prison stints for theft from employers, owes more than $600K in unpaid criminal restitution, and had at least three romances end with her lovers seeking restraining orders. (Two succeeded, as well as one former friend, and two former employers. Another former ally is awaiting a hearing in July against Logan.)

Naturally, the aspiring animal advocacy celeb ignores at least seven other deceased dogs for which Baldwin tried similar coverups. More than 40 witnesses testified for the prosecution, including multiple dog owners, about Baldwin's lies and alleged fraud regarding the dogs they'd paid him to rehabilitate.

Baldwin's defense counsel, in a surprisingly short closing argument (only 21 pages, in contrast to the prosecution's 75), also said nothing about Baldwin's myriad lies to various dogs' owners about the dogs' fate, told while Baldwin continued using the dogs' stories to fundraise and self-promote.

"He had limited resources, and did the best he could with what he had available," the defense wrote.

Except: How is repeated lying about his failures, to the people harmed by them, ever the best someone can do?

But maybe that's why 6Time relates to Baldwin.

Anyway, it's interesting that the defense doesn't deny Steffen Baldwin told all those lies, even though lying, by itself, isn't illegal. We'd expected to maybe hear another version of events.

We don't expect a ruling as to whether Baldwin is guilty until at least mid-June. There's no deadline, and the prosecution has until June 7 to file a reply argument.

As for Sharon Logan, she has removed most of her earlier screeds *against* Baldwin from Facebook. (But see below for a screenshot and links.) Logan bizarrely flip-flopped in 2022, defending Baldwin as an innocent victim of overzealous pit bull advocates once he proved willing to speak poorly about another former Logan friend, Dr. Saskia Boisot of San Diego.

That position hasn't gained any traction with the press or public, however. Or even with Baldwin's criminal defense. It flies in the face of the evidence.

It may be, though, that Baldwin's dishonesty and manipulation toward the many dog owners who trusted him, while he quietly euthanized their dogs to protect his reputation, simply doesn't rise to the level of crime. We'll see.

We'll sign off with a 2021 quote from none other than Logan: "Steffen Baldwin and his rabid supporters are a prime example of rescue and animal advocacy gone awry."

It's one of the few smart things we ever saw 6Time say. Too bad she didn't mean it.
