Re-writing History??

Here's BAS response to the discovery of his true identity and alleged sordid past. I don't know about you, but his sanitized version does not seem to match what appears in the case file:

Do a search of his arrest record here:
http://www.ojs.dekalbga.org
Choose the tab that says "Criminal Case Search." The case number is 04CR3427. Be sure that under "Case Status", you select "All". Several counts of child molestation and child pornography.

Curious points to ponder:

BAS: In 2000 I caught a neighborhood kid blowing up firecrackers in my yard. I called the police and sent them to his house.

DH: The charge says "child molestation." That means he was accused of actual touching. There's no mention of any contact that could have been misconstrued by the child in BAS story.

BAS: To get out of trouble he turned it on me and said he looked in my windows and saw porn, or maybe he thought my girlfriend was under age.

DH: Would a judge issue an arrest warrant based on someone peeking in the window of a private residence? That's a tough sell.

Let's look at the second part:
"or maybe he thought my girlfriend was under age."
Hmmmm. I find it hard to believe that a 32 year old man (BAS age at the time), could possibly be dating a girl that could be mistaken for a 12-16 year old. I don't know about you but when I was a teen I knew everybody close to my age in the neighborhood. Could his youthful looking girlfriend have been flown in from out of town? How else could his accuser, who BAS says was a neighborhood kid, make that mistake? As a former police officer I can tell you that the first thing we would have done was verify the young lady's age before pursuing an arrest. This is almost laughable.

BAS: Actually, I don't know what all he said.

DH: You don't know what was said? What? You are arrested for child molestation and sexual exploitation of a child and yet you don't bother to find out what was said? You spend a week in jail, have your father bail you out, have your whole life turned upside down and you don't know what was said? The case went on for five years and you don't know what was said? This tells me all I need to know about BAS version of events.

BAS: I was arrested, my computers searched, and when I was eventually found innocent the whole thing was expunged and I got a nice apology. I never even went to court. Shit happens.

DH: The case file shows something different. BAS was never found innocent. Judge Hancock ruled that the prosecution couldn't prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Does anybody remember the OJ verdict? OJ was not found innocent; his crafty lawyers were able to create reasonable doubt. OJ was found liable in the civil case that followed. Where there's smoke, there's probably fire.

Why didn't Dekalb County have this case removed from its website? If it were me and I were truly innocent I would force the issue to my dying breath. Wouldn't you?

I can't speak about the nice apology but I'd sure like to find out if the 11 prosecution witnesses apologized.

That's about it for now. Since I'm banned from backgroundbeat.com it's up to you to call him on his BS. Feel free to cut and paste anything from this blog to backgroundbeat.com

For those of you that haven't seen it, here's the original text from BAS post on his alleged shady past. The last sentence makes me laugh. I can't think of anybody that would be jealous of a 40 year old extra who has accomplished nothing in his life and still likes hanging with teenagers and 20 somethings. I wonder if they know he's old enough to be their dads? LOL.

"HollywoodOS and/or their equally morally challenged supporters are continuing to harass me. That's what they do. They think they have a good way to do it: In 2000 I caught a neighborhood kid blowing up firecrackers in my yard. I called the police and sent them to his house. To get out of trouble he turned it on me and said he looked in my windows and saw porn, or maybe he thought my girlfriend was under age. Actually, I don't know what all he said. I was arrested, my computers searched, and when I was eventually found innocent the whole thing was expunged and I got a nice apology. I never even went to court. Shit happens. Truth is I don't have as much as a speeding ticket on my record, but even if I did it wouldn't be relevant to other actors (or anyone else).
There are those who think they're very clever finding old boring news and try to use it to take the attention off companies like HollywoodOS and make me the focus. Doesn't work. I don't take anyones money or make false promises to actors. I'm not casting anyone. It's not about me. It's about protecting all of us and letting people know what kinds of things these companies do. Harassing me is a great example.
This site isn't about individual actors or their private lives, it's about protecting us from the abuses by casting and production and the many many companies that would swindle us. If you want to post about me or some other actor go do it somewhere else.
I don't mind being the scape goat... I've dealt with jealous people my whole life, I have nothing to hide, and I'm never going to stop providing actors the information they need to make the right decisions"
