SNOW PLEADS GUILTY, GETS PROBATION

[Nytro]

What an absolute joke, he should rot in jail.


According to a May 3 report in the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram, former NHRA Top Fuel and Funny Car driver Gene Snow recently pleaded guilty to charges stemming from sexual assault accusations made against him last year by a 17-year-old boy.

Snow, 69, was arrested last September after the boy told Tarrant County (TX) Sheriff's Department investigators that Snow had been molesting him since the fifth grade, had drugged him, and paid him for sexual favors. The Star-Telegram story said Snow, who placed 26th in 2001 on the NHRA's top-50 drivers list, pleaded guilty to injury to a child and accepted three years' probation, according to prosecutor Kimberly D'Avignon.
