Another One?

Jeebus, there are days when I feel like I could devote this entire blog to right wing assholes who get caught with kids. There is, it must be said, only an investigation right now and no charges have been filed:

Houstonians have been listening to the conservative radio talk show host for more than 15 years. He's a former Marine with loyal listeners, but on Friday those listeners didn't hear him because his boss took him off the air.

Patrick yanked Matthews off the air after learning from Eyewitness News about the investigation and then speaking to detectives.

"I just told him, 'John, since there's an investigation going on, it's just not the wise thing for you to be on the air until all the facts are known'," said Patrick.

The Sugar Land Police Department would not talk about this case on camera, but they do say on the record that they're investigating Matthews after an allegation of indecency with a child. They are, however, reluctant to release any specifics.
