Corey Mack Seahorn was born in 1977 in Colbert County, Alabama. Friends say that as one of four children, Seahorn led a relatively normal life growing up in a home where he lacked for little. As he grew older, he made no secret of his homosexuality and as an adult entered into an undocumented marriage with a male partner in Louisiana.
After that relationship broke up, Seahorn returned to Alabama. He quickly set himself up as a legally ordained minister, but he didn't stop there. He also advertised himself as a medical doctor and a psychologist, despite having no degrees to back up his claims. Then things turned very strange indeed.
While reportedly under the influence of alcohol, Seahorn and a friend from Moulton kidnapped a young man at gunpoint from a Littleville convenience store. Corey had met the teen the previous year and was seeking to force him into a marriage. After sobering up, Seahorn returned the then 16 year-old boy to the Colbert County Sheriff''s office and was promptly arrested.
From an April 2019 news account:
Almost three years ago, Corey Mack Seahorn and an accomplice kidnapped a young man in Littleville. Now, the fake doctor/psychologist has been arrested on over 75 counts of possession of child pornography.
Seahorn is originally from Franklin County, but had lived out of state for several years when he returned to the area ostensibly married to a male. Whatever the relationship was, it was short-lived, and Seahorn soon found himself single and in love again.
This time Seahorn's beloved was a 15 year old male, a boy whose mother had also had a relationship with Seahorn. The self-proclaimed physician/psychologist soon found himself spurned and arranged to kidnap the young man, by then 16, in order to establish their romance.
According to Seahorn, he and a friend had been drinking when they came up with the plan to abduct the youth from a Littleville mini-mart. When Seahorn sobered up, he called the Colbert County sheriff's office to ask if he were in any serious trouble. Told that he was in the clear, Seahorn returned the boy to the authorities and was immediately arrested.
During the initial investigation, it came to light that Seahorn was posing as both someone with a medical doctorate and a PhD in psychology. He was reported to the appropriate boards, but without anyone to press charges, nothing was done about his ruse.
Now Corey Mack Seahorn, 41, has been arrested in Lauderdale on charges of both possession and production of child pornography. He was reported by the mother of a young boy whom he was ostensibly grooming for a sexual relationship. He remains in the Lauderdale County Detention Center at this time.
Seahorn made Shoals headlines three years ago when he kidnapped a teenage boy from Colbert County. At the time of his arrest on over 75 child pornography charges in Lauderdale, the 41 year old Seahorn had not been tried on the kidnapping charge. He was being held on over 400K bond.
