Former Talk Show Host Could Be Sent To Prison

[Lady Effingbroke]

HOUSTON -- A former Houston radio talk show host could be sent to prison after he was accused of violating his probation for indecency with a child, KPRC Local 2 reported.

The Fort Bend County district attorney wants Jon Matthews' probation revoked and wants him sent to prison.

Matthews pleaded guilty in August 2004 to indecency with a child by exposure after he exposed himself to a neighbor's 11-year-old daughter. He received a seven-year probated sentence.

But the state contends Matthews has violated conditions of his probation, including engaging in online chat rooms of a sexual nature against children.

In court, Judge Grady Elliot said he was also concerned that Matthews has expressed a desire to end his own life.

Mathews was 'sidekick' to Moby (Moby and Mathews in the morning) on the long-defunct 97 Rock, then resurfaced in the early 90s as a fire-breathing hate-wing propagandist on KSEV, run by fundie nutcase Dan Patrick.

1. Lemme guess...

Matthews was big on screaming about the RW version of "morality," too, right? :grr: These guys are unbelievable.

2. This is not the time for the court to get soft on crime!

The right-wing wouldn't want it that way! If there's one thing they stand for, it's vigorous, uniform enforcement of the law.



Right-wing talk show perv.

5. Wow! The years have certainly been kinder to Moby

3. How much shit goes on in Texas???

:wtf:????
Maybe you better not answer that as I guess it's a rhetorical question on my part.

4. So much BS...

so little time, such a small shovel.

6. are there ANY rightwingers who are aren't sex pervert freaks?

:wow:

Notice that this guy got a fairly merciful sentence on the original charges: probation, no jail time. Even after being granted this second chance, her still couldn't keep himself out of trouble. Now he faces real hard time: as much as ten years in prison for numerous probation violations.

Why is it that the loudest partisans of "personal responsibility" seem wholly incapable of actually demonstrating any?

7. Current Talk Show Host Could Be Sent To Prison, Too

Whose name comes to mind when I say "prescription fraud"? Or mention the drugs OxyContin and Viagra?

I'm sure his Michael J. Fox impression will be a huge hit in Cellblock H.

Wait a minute: Isn't O'Really? in legal hot water, too? They could be cellmates...

8. You can add Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter to that list

Each for an election fraud related offense.

--p!

[KamaAina]

9. I thought of Coultergeist

but was not sure she qualified as a "talk show host". Yeesh. I hope not. :puke:

Ingraham? Election fraud? Do tell!

[Dogmudgeon]

10. She encouraged people to jam Democratic voters' hotlines

It appears that right after she did this, there was a calling spike that nearly did shut down at least one of the hotlines.

Still under investigation.

--p!

If that is what you become by being a conservative christian evangelical...NO THANKS! I like my own morals just fine.
