So here is another clayton nelson photography scam. Clayton nelson called me on a weekend to tell me that there was an emergency with a top model in new york and that if i helped her through it, he would "make it up to me".in this case i was told that this model was nearly raped by the individual family friend she was staying with so she took her things and went to a local park to hide from him so she could figure out what to do. Since clayton nelson has no money, and no car, does not have a drivers license to my knowledge, and can only use public transportation, he begged me to help her. The story continued that after her family friend of ten plus years almost raped her, that she went to the park to 'hide out" and she was robbed at gunpoint and the thiefs took her cell phone and all of her cash. Since clayton had no vehicle, and apparently this model had no friends, agents, managers, or anyone else to help her; he aske me to pick her up and get her safely on a plane. Of course after hearing this story and speaking with the models mother who was half way across the country, despite my lack of trust in clayton and believing this mom was sincere, i drove three hours to pick her up. When i arrived she was totally disheveled and crying on the curb. I felt so sorry for her, it was really heartbreaking what i believed this model had endured. About two months later after loaning this model hundreds of dollars, replacing her stolen iphone with my spare iphone, and fronting her hundreds of dollars for flights back to new york. I found out one afternoon while her boyfriend devin was here visiting and shooting: the following... That she was not almost raped, that she was not mugged at gunpoint. That she was screwing her boyfriend devin and was so intoxicated that they could not go back to the house where she was staying. So she and devin made up the lie about being robbed and that she was almost raped by her host, to cover thier trails because of her overbearing stage mom. Since this model did not work for a long time, has no real funds at all, she could not even afford to get help. The male model was a pretty nice guy and told me the truth about the event, not knowing that i was the person who went and "rescued her". Clayton personally guaranteed all of the loans etc, and i have never scene a penny of that money or value back, as he has nothing and is simply a con artist. That same young lady admitted to me that it was true, but that they saw a bunch of boys taking her phone from her car, but they were too drunk to do anything about it. It seems anyone associated with clayton nelson is simply there out of desperation, not because they truly respect or believe in him. Be careful of the man who is scamming everyone, and then accusing others of being the scammers.
