I have three jobs, actually; one of which is being a soldier in the national guard.
I am a responsible person who pays my bills, works full time, and happens to enjoy costuming (fursuits and cosplay alike), and creating artwork.
Just like any other group of people, this fandom is made up of all sorts. Yes, this guy is a bad apple if he indeed committed this crime. However that does not mean that we condone this behavior or that we are all psychologically inept. We, as a fandom, often help each other out of tight financial situations, and donate to charities.
Look up "Furnandos", for instance.
Letting your opinion on an entire group be swayed by one article--by one bad apple--is not something to be proud of. You may as well claim that all Anime fans are sickos that are into groping random women on public trains, while you're at it.
