Tevin Campbell re-emerges from obscurity

90s child prodigy Tevin Campbell has re-emerged from obscurity and is scheduled to appear on tonight’s BET Awards. Recently, he was photographed with legendary producer Quincy Jones (who signed Tevin to his label when he was 12) in NYC.

Tevin was performing on Broadway a few years ago in Rent. Back in 1999, his career took a downturn. A source says:

In 1999, Campbell was arrested after soliciting oral sex from an undercover police officer during a sting operation in Van Nuys, California. According to police reports, marijuana residue was also found in Campbell’s car during the arrest.

The sting operation was reportedly conducted in an area near Van Nuys High School, where there had been numerous complaints from the public about cruising and solicitation. To date, Campbell has not commented publicly on the matter.

Campbell pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor of solicitation, and as a result was ordered to pay $1080.50 in fines, attend meetings of Narcotics Anonymous and participate in a court-sanctioned AIDS awareness class. He returned to court in February 2000 to provide proof that he had completed the requirements of his sentence.

For the record, Tevin says he is not heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual, but experimental.
