On Friday, THE Ohio State University sent out a letter via it’s school paper The Lantern warning athletes about a convicted repeat child sex offender, and to watch who they associate with in social media.
Since then, the pervert in question Charles Eric Waugh, has violated his probation (which could very likely lead to jail this time) and the #4 rated recruit in Pennsylvania de-committed from OSU (and possibly could enroll at Notre Dame) when this sleazebag was exposed.
And the reporting that led to this creep’s downfall? Not from ESPN or the MSM, but a Buckeyes blog!
From SB Nation:
Registered sex offender Charles Eric Waugh was arrested Monday night for violating probation after an investigation by SB Nation’s Land-Grant Holy Land uncovered he’d had contact with scores of Ohio St. Buckeyes players and recruits, many of whom are teenagers.
Here’s the timeline of events that led to his arrest.
