NASCAR Publicist accused of sex crime
NASCAR publicist accused of sex crime

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A well-known NASCAR publicist was arrested Tuesday and charged with statutory rape and soliciting a minor for sex over the Internet, authorities said.

Richard Norman "Chip" Williams Jr., of Mooresville, was arrested in the parking lot of a Guilford County church where he had arranged to meet what he believed was a 14-year-old girl with whom he had been conversing in an Internet chat room, Sheriff B.J. Barnes said.

Williams' firm, Williams Company of America, Inc., handles media and public relations for drivers Kyle Petty, Bobby Labonte, Derrike Cope and John Andretti, among others. Williams also formerly worked for NASCAR, where he handled public relations for the top-level Winston Cup racing series.

1. Not only did he hook up with a 14 year old...
Edited on Thu Feb-02-06 01:50 PM by MindPilot
he did it at church! Can they be any more hypocritical?

On Edit: After reading the article, it appears he only made arrangements to meet in the church parking lot. And he had been having a relationship with a 15-year-old for 4 years. That means he was having sex with an eleven-year-old! What a scumbag.

2. I would suspect this guy is GOP
BUT before you flame me, consider this:

Richard Norman "Chip" Williams Jr., of Mooresville, was arrested in the parking lot of a Guilford County church where he had arranged to meet what he believed was a 14-year-old girl with whom he had been conversing in an Internet chat room,


I mean, c'mon, who other than a GOPer would arrange to meet a minor for sex in the PARKING LOT OF A CHURCH?

8. What I don't get about guys who do this
You have plenty of money, why risk it all messing with underage girls? You can afford high-end hookers. For that matter you have enough money that you can date hot young women and get all the sex you want. But no, you gotta wreck some poor kid's life. Asshole.

11. Now, I understand the thread.
Thank you for the admission that this thread was to associate NASCAR with child rapists.

Sad thing is I don't even like NASCAR but the irrational hatred of and need to put it down on this board just pissses me off.

12. Just so you know, I've been a NASCAR fan since the '70s
Edited on Thu Feb-02-06 04:03 PM by libnnc
my father raced on small dirt tracks in the mid '60s here in NC. He raced against guys who became superstars of the sport. I don't like what NASCAR has become, an uber-nationalistic, racist, mysoginistic celebration of "redneck" stupidity.

Now what was that you were saying?


Edit to add: It is a FACT that the assholes who run the sport now are GOP loving, greedy pigs. All they care about is the bottom line and playing to and cultivating the absolute WORST elements of NASCAR. It's all mom, Amerika, Gawd, Budweiser and apple-pie. It's sickening in its simplicity. The point of this post is not to connect NASCAR with sex offenders, it's to reinforce the fact that the folks mommy and daddy have to worry about molesting their kids aren't gays and lesbians, they are STRAIGHT, WHITE, CONSERVATIVE, ASSHOLES. Get it?

10. Separation of Church and State
"They" should support it so then "christians" could have sex in church parking lots without being bothered by laws against sex with minors. And since a "saved" "christian" will enter the kingdom of gawd regardless of their actions against other humans they would not be an inconvenience to church goers just looking for a parking space. Praise the Lord!

4. This puts an end to the BJ/Monica jokes "Chip" shared with his NASCAR
buddies around the water cooler. Now they have a chance to make him the butt of their jokes.
