NBC Sports reports:
Former major league pitcher John Wetteland was arrested in mid-January on child sex abuse charges. Yesterday a Texas grand jury indicted him on three counts of “continuous sexual assault of a child.” He was released on $25,000 bond.
Specifically, Wetteland, 52, is accused of forcing a child to repeatedly perform a sex act on him. The assaults began in 2004, when the child was 4, and they allegedly occurred twice more during a two-year period.
Wettleland was a big league pitcher from 1989-2000, starring for the Dodgers, Expos, Yankees and Rangers. He led the American League with 43 saves in 1996 and, with Mariano Rivera setting up for him, helped the Yankees win their first World Series title in 18 years. He was a three-time All-Star and completed his 12-year career with 330 saves, which currently has him at 15th on the All-Time list.
Following his playing career he served as a bullpen coach for both the Washington Nationals and the Seattle Mariners.
This is not the first time pedophile busts and MLB stars have collided. Chad Curtis got busted for allegedly having interactions with a minor too.
Curtis is serving seven to 15 years in prison
for sexually assaulting the three student athletes while he was a
substitute teacher volunteering in Lakewood High School's weight room.
The victims, who were 15 and 16 at the time the assaults occurred, said
Curtis touched their breasts, buttocks and genitalia under the guise of
giving them "rehabilitative massages" in a secluded room. A Barry County jury found Curtis guilty of six counts of criminal sexual conduct after a week-long trial in August. He is serving his sentence at Harrison Correctional Facility in Adrian. The
lawsuit filed Friday, April 11, in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids
accuses Curtis of counts of battery and intentional infliction of
emotional distress. Lakewood Public Schools and the board of education
are accused of violating the plaintiffs' constitutional rights and
violating Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which protects
people from discrimination in education programs or activities based on
sex.
Washington DC and Hollywood are currently covering up a major pedophile scandal of their own called PIZZAGATE that centers around the death of two late rock n roll stars, Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington. Learn more HERE.
