Actor Andy Dick Arrested On Sex Abuse Charges


Comic actor Andy Dick was arrested on sex abuse charges in Huntington, West Virgina, today. Apparently, Dick was merely talking to a man, then suddenly started to grope his crotch and kiss him, leading to his arrest. Reportedly, there was also a second victim of Dick's sexual advances as well.


Dick was in town doing stand-up comedy shows at the Funny Bone Comedy Club. He was set to arraigned later today, but possibly bailed out of jail for tonight's show. However, Dick was still on probation as a result of a battery plea stemming from another sex abuse incident at a pizza business.


Andy Dick claimed that he was being arrested for, "People grabbing on me", to a reporter. However, eyewitnesses such as the girlfriend of one victim had an entirely different account of the actions of Dick.


This is only the latest incident for this troubled actor, who doesn't appear to avoid trouble for very long.


Andy Dick was once a popular comic star on the NBC show NEWSRADIO along with Phil Hartman and others. The show was moderately successful peaking at #39 among all TV shows, but after Phil Hartman was murdered in his sleep by his mentally disturbed wife between the fourth and fifth seasons, the show once again slipped in ratings and just wasn't the same despite the best efforts of Jon Lovitz. Andy Dick pursued stand up comedy ever since, when not in some trouble with the law.
