Well, in more shocking news, recently Pro rider Brian Patch was picked up on felony charges for committing a lewd act with a minor.
The story goes:
Pro skateboarder Brian Patch arrested on suspicion of molesting 15-year-old girl

From the Associated Press

WESTMINSTER, Calif. - A professional skateboarder is facing a felony charge of committing a lewd act with a 15-year-old girl.
The Orange County Sheriff's Department says 36-year-old Brian Patch was arrested on May 14 at his home in Westminster. He is scheduled to be arraigned next month on a charge that he molested the girl in April.

Patch has competed in many skateboard events, including the X Games.

A call to his home Saturday was not answered and no message could be left.


I truely hope there is a BIG misunderstanding here, but I will keep everyone informed as I learn more.

Let's hope that's all it is, skating's public image is bad enough withough adding the stereotype of a pedophile...

Why was he arrested when he was SUSPECTED of molesting her. They better have evidence against this. And I also hope this is a misunderstanding pathtek

Same, I really hope it is a misunderstanding. If it isn't then, I guess I don't feel sorry for him if it was his own fault.

It's ok to be a pedo if the younger one is COMPLETELY AWARE AND OK WITH IT.

I wouldn't though.

Seriously too many a-holes limiting others fun just because they don't like it.

It's not okay by the law...

Law really doesn't have anything to do with it.

If the parent's have a problem with it and have evidence of sexual activity, they can get you for molestation/paedophilism.




What's the worst thing about being a pedophile?
You just don't fit in.

What's really the worst thing about being a pedophile?
Getting caught.

The worst thing about being a pedophile is getting killed in jail, beating and or raped by others prison who hate you.

Are you ****ting me, kid? Everyone who is arrested is suspected of doing something. They are suspected of doing something all the way until the verdict is reached by the jury.

if he didn't do it, then my heart goes out to him and what he's going through...

if on the other hand he did. He should have been a better role model being a professional to a sport that is already so misunderstood

Since when are 15 year olds mature enough to make decisions like that? Just because they are aware of whats going on and "ok with it" doesn't make it ok. People that age probably haven't thought about nearly all the consequences.

I'm pretty sure they can't arrest someone without probable cause though, and that's what he was saying.

Statutory rape is never OK unless the underage person's parents have consented. The parents are likely pressing the charges, in which case they either caught Patch with their daughter, or she told them about it.

Pedophilia is a term usually reserved for the sickos who molest/rape REALLY young children who have no idea wtf is going on.

In Patch's case, a 15 year-old girl is awfully close. I've seen some 15 year-old girls who could fool me, but I've also seen some who still look like children. Let's hope Patch got fooled and isn't at fault.

Ex Akon and that 16 year old girl in the club.....


If it is what I think it is, it sucks for him. I mean most likely its the parents pressing charges, and probably because they don't want her with him. I don't think he actually did anything she didn't want him to, just what the parents didn't want him to do
