Man dating woman, 23, trapped in eight-year-old's body branded 'creep' by online trolls

A 26-year-old man dating a woman trapped a child's body has been slammed online by critics who have branded him a 'creep'. Dan Swygart has stirred up some controversy after he started dating 23-year-old Shauna Rae Lesick who is just 3ft and 10ins tall and weighs only 50 pounds which is the average size of an eight-year-old.

However, Dan has recently hit back at trolls who claim he's only attracted to her 'because she looks like a kid', the Mirror reports. Instead, the Welsh entrepreneur insisted he's dating Shauna, who stars in TLC'S 'I Am Shauna Rae', for her 'personality' and not her childlike looks.

Her stunted growth is a side effect of treatment she was given as a child while she battled brain cancer and the petite star has struggled to find love and relationships in her adult life as a result. Viewers of Shauna's TLC show have watched as the couple's relationship unfolded and even the star's parents initially voiced their concerns.
