Guerdwich Montimere in the news again

Guerdwich Montimere probably regrets going back to high school.

You remember Guerdwich, right? The 22 year old Haitian man that lied about his age, returned to high school, and starred for the Permian High basketball team? He was arrested on Tuesday of last week for failure to identify himself to a peace officer, and then again on Thursday for altering a government document (he forged his birth certificate).

On Friday, Montimere was arrested for the third time in four days.

And this time it was a bit more serious.

A 16 year old girl told police that she had slept with Montimere when she believed he was 15 year old Jerry Joseph. The problem is that he wasn't 15 year old Jerry Joseph, he was 21 year old Guerdwich Montimere. 21 year olds are not allowed to sleep with 15 year old girls. Its what we like to call statutory rape.

In a statement from the Odessa police department, Montimere is accused of "intentionally and knowingly engaged in a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old juvenile and portrayed himself to be 15 years old when he was actually 21 years of age." The charge is a second degree felony, and carries with it a sentence of 2-20 years and a $10,000 fine.

All to relive the glory years.

For some reason, I don't think it was worth it.
