'American Ninja Warrior' Star Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison for Child Sex Crimes | E! News

There are people in prison for drug charges with longer sentences than this monster.

[Xylophone]

There’s more creeps out there than you’ll ever know! Teach your children well..

[michellejade]

So gross! You just never really know a person.

[Dancinontiktok]

Always watch and question what your children are doing online!And who they are with!You never know!

[MsRotorwings]

Dude is an escape risk, given his skills. Lock him up in maximum security.

[prettyfunnythings]

talent doesn’t make you a good person.

[gseric]

I will never understand why people do this. Never.

[IAmToDd]

Dude was a beast in ANW. Good job screwing that up bro, you deserve your sentence.

[anonygrazer]

Charged in 2020 but it takes 4 YEARS to get him convicted?!?!

[microscopic.caterpill]

This is getting too fkn common 🤢 why is it so hard to stay away from children. There’s literally nothing to relate to, nothing to feel satisfied of at all — it disgusts me to even imagine for another. Yuck

[starshine]

These kinds of people should get a lot longer than 10 years. There shouldn’t be any plea deals either. Having an additional 15 years of supervised release doesn’t mean anything….no one will be constantly watching him….and people like him won’t stop doing it…they never do.

[funshine]

Ten years? That is a crime, in and of itself!

[MDTAR]

I always said that guy was a "fake good guy".... I was slammed for my comments... WELL....WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY NOW!??!?!

[christinewilcox]

It makes me sick that they get away with this time, and time again, 10 years is not enough, the girl's or even boy's, have a life time not just 10 years.

[kennethwilliams]

Lord, this is absolutely terrrible! This is ridiculous!

[richardbenke]

I was a big fan of his. I was ecstatic when he won ANW. And then this.

[keithss]

Putting aside for a moment how nasty this is, don’t these people think they are going to get caught? They are cruising for little boys and girls on the internet. Don’t they think someone is going to find out? Ugh!

[imkrisyoung]

Ugh. You never really can know a person beyond their celebrity status.

[deborahbaker]

My father sexually abused me before I was ( 2 ) he didn’t go to jail all he had to do was sign over his rights to me and never contact me again I remember everything he did eventually anyway at the time it happened in the early ( 60’s ) somehow I blocked it out or my mind somehow blocked it out to protect me from remembering until I was about ( 10 ) and then I slowly started to remember I’m ( 66 ) now and I still have flashback’s of it unfortunately 😢

[MAIDU]

This is a horrible act upon a child. Ten years really…foot a lifetime of suffering for the child?!? We need to ensure Accountability even with Judicial Sentencing?! Thank you for sharing this…more monsters like this needs to be SHAMED.
