It’s a shame that we can’t wait for a conviction before the police put out a media release with a mugshot and one side of the story in cases like this. For the record, I have no idea of this guy’s character and he may be guilty as hell.

Madison is doomed.

The center for advanced medicine is a bunch of quacks that have a place behind the Kroger on 51. They should all be investigate and shut down.

@7:52 AM, this involves a 14 yr old girl. I find your comments disappropriate

MCAM and Baptist hospital wiped this guy’s info from their websites and all social media. Guess they think he’s guilty.

Uh, wrong side of I-55, Sparky. If you're that ignorant of basic geography I don't think I'll pay much attention to your evaluation of the professional credentials of a group of well-regarded physicians who are providing an alternative to UMMC, the lowest-ranked academic medical center in the USA (#163 out of 163, the last time I checked).

I don't know this guy who left UMMC, went to UAB, then came to Madison. His wife still has a position (and is highly regarded) at UMMC. Serious allegations deserve thorough investigation, then, if convicted, severe punishment. It's always a shame for a victim and any innocent parties who get caught up in a scoundrel's activities. But, everyone deserves due process, not a lynch mob.

Doesn't have a clue as to what he/she doesn't know.

@6:12 a.m. - arrests are public records. Every fool who ever watched TV knows of the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. What, exactly, are you complaining about?

10:09 am: my child receives outstanding care at UMMC. what does this have to do with UMMC if the man worked at MCAM?

@11:13 - sorry you couldn't follow my commenct, I will try to explain it so you can hopefuly understand. Presumption of innocence applies only to the judicial process, has nothing to do with a reputation in the community or financial harm to a professional or their business. If someone in the accused doctor's position was found not guilty, you can bet they will not be made whole again by those same media outlets or the police. There is almost nothing gained by trying to play out these cases in public before a trial occurs; it puts unnecessary pressure on the accusers and the accused. That's why many countries have laws that prevent names being published until a conviction occurs in these types of cases. In my opinion, that makes much more sense than ruining reputations of the presumed innocent.

11:16 He used to work at UMMC

And I have since learned his employer has a second office location on the other side of I-55. The original office site is still open as well. Mea culpa, etc.

To those squawking about his identity being revealed “prematurely”:

If you’d take the time to actually READ the press release from MPD, you’d see it’s apparent the police were thorough and careful with their investigation. This is obviously much more than a text exchange and a verbal accusation from a kid. READ people!!!

If he didn’t want his reputation tarnished, he shouldn’t have taken this path. He caused/allowed this to happen.

Seems 2:08 has already determined he’s guilty. Glad we can save the cost of a trial and all that other pesky due process stuff.

Sounds like 'the cartel' has lelegated out posting assignments. Maybe, like that hotel magnate up in the Delta who was stealing airport luggage...Charges will just be dropped when enough cash is dropped.

Anonymous said...

@2:18 I don’t think charges will be dropped for a felony case of sexual assault on a minor.
If convicted he’ll do time at Parchman. He should never be allowed to practice medicine again and he’ll be on the sex offender registry for life. No way was this an isolated incident. I’d be worried if my kids were ever his patients or had ever been around him in Reunion or at St Andrew’s school or anywhere else he spent time. He certainly deserves a fair trial but it seems like they have electronic evidence based on the memo from the Madison PD - who should be commended for acting so quickly.

Madison handles their business. This guy and that teacher/swim coach. When there is evidence, and I think they have electronic proof in both of these cases, the book gets thrown at you. It should.

Thank you, Madison PD, for protecting children.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
