Former NBA All-Star Charge with Sexually Assaulting and 8 Year Old
Eddie Johnson, who played in the NBA for ten years has been arrested for allegedly raping and 8 year old girl while the child's mother was registering the child and her sibling for school. Johnson admits to kissing the girl, but says he only kissed her on the head and that the kiss was a gesture he offered to all the neighborhood children. This is a link to the story.

1. Eddie Johnson was one of my favorite players when I was a kid.
Good old Easy Eddie. When he was on with that jumper he could fill it up.

Quite a shame. I hope that little girl recovers.

2. More Bad News
I am sorry for you, but there is more bad news about Johnson. He has been charged with a second rape and battery. Johnson is now also charged with raping and battering a 25 year old woman at a motel. Yes this is a sad story.

3. I'm sorry for his victims
He's not the first sports hero to disappoint me, although this one is particularly ugly.
