Darius McCrary Seen for First Time in Court Since Arrest, Totally Confused
‘Family Matters’ Darius McCrary
Hey Judge, I’m ‘Specially Appearing’ In Court
… Judge Tells Him to Get a Lawyer

Darius McCrary was seen for the first time Wednesday since his arrest last week and he chose to represent himself during a court hearing, but the only problem was … he didn’t appear to know what the f*** was going on.
As TMZ previously reported, McCrary was arrested October 5 on a warrant out of Michigan stemming from a missed court appearance related to his failure to pay child support.
At his arraignment today in a San Diego courtroom, the “Family Matters” alum chose to forego a lawyer, opting to represent himself … which was a huge mistake.
Near the beginning of the hearing … Darius addressed the court, stating, “I’d like to say I’m here on special appearance,” which confused the hell out of the judge, who asked him, “Especially appearing for whom?”
But, Darius repeated that he was “here on special appearance,” prompting the judge again to ask, “Sir, who are you specially appearing for?” Darius responded, “Specially appearing for Darius McCrary. I’m here. I’m here.” And things only went further down hill from there.
In fact, after a while, the judge — apparently having had enough — decided to give him a public defender, explaining McCrary “is unable to understand and appreciate that legalities of these proceedings.” But, McCray was able to argue for bail while prosecutors requested no bail and the judge ruled in favor of prosecutors.
Finally, at the end of the hearing, McCrary agreed to be extradited back to Michigan and Michigan authorities now have 30 days to pick him up from the San Diego jail. ABC 10News in San Diego has pictures and recorded video of today’s hearing.
Meanwhile, several news outlets erroneously reported McCrary was headed to Tijuana, Mexico, when he got arrested on the warrant.
However, TMZ has learned from Customs and Border Patrol the opposite is true. A CBP Spokesperson exclusively tells TMZ … “On Oct. 5, 2025, Darius McCrary, a U.S. citizen, was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection while attempting to enter the United States through the San Ysidro Port of Entry due to having an active arrest warrant. He was turned over to local law enforcement.”
With the massive information dump of the Epstein Files from the DOJ Friday, we’re getting a close look at the various high-powered figures who surrounded the disgraced financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein … including former presidents.
Bill Clinton is seen in a few new pics … he’s reclining in a hot tub with another person, whose face is obscured by a black box. Another pic shows the former president sitting in what appears to be the cabin of an airplane, with a young-looking female sitting on his lap with her arm around his shoulder.
As you know, the U.S. Dept. of Justice began releasing the long-awaited Epstein Files on Friday, the final day of a 30-day period the agency was compelled by Congress to produce all materials related to the investigation of Epstein — with victims’ identities and details redacted.
Jeffrey Epstein was convicted in 2008 on state charges in Florida of soliciting the prostitution of a minor in a plea deal and served a year in prison. In 2019, he was arrested on federal charges of sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors. While awaiting trial in New York City, he killed himself in his cell.
Donald Trump, Clinton and Bill Gates are among many high-profile politicians, entertainers, business titans, academics and other powerful international figures known to have been close associates of Epstein. Trump downplayed the importance of releasing the files this year — despite making campaign promises to open up the investigation — even saying he didn’t want support from anyone who was demanding more about the case.
Never-before-seen photos show late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in his element … snuggling up to a very young-looking female on a sofa.
The images are from the Epstein Files being released by the U.S. Department of Justice … and there are several photos showing Epstein cozying up to an unidentified female on a couch … it’s unclear if she’s underage.
Epstein has his arms around her, and they are horizontal, side by side on a couch … wearing clothes. Her face has been redacted to protect her identity, indicating the government considers her a victim.
There are 10 photos of the convicted pedo and this young female … and Epstein looks like he’s enjoying himself.

TMZ is digging through the thousands of documents released Friday … and these are some of the most disgusting images we’ve seen so far … but it may just be the tip of the iceberg.
We’ve seen lots of other creepy Epstein photos leading up to Friday’s document dump, but this may be the creepiest yet.
