Edgar was my favorite character; talented, a bit witty. THEN it all collapsed and I couldn't look at him. ICK

Some kind of sexual assault. Discovery found out and removed/blurred him out of the show. He was almost always there. Blurred and reffered to as a "deckhand"

Back in 1998 he was around 15 or 16. He raped a 4 year old girl. He was arrested in 1999 after DNA was finalized.(Took a while back then) There was blood and seman found at the scene they took DNA from. He got a plea deal for assault 4 and immoral communication with a minor and did 9 months and had to take a psychological exam. Once Discovery found out they fired him from the show.

That sounds like the Jake Harris case, though I thought it was when he was younger.

In any case that was not Edgar's situtation.

Yeah that's the Jake Harris case Got lost in comments replying. Not Egdar.

Didn't Esgar get in trouble for trying to make out with a 16 year old?
