I haven't read the entire thread yet, but this seems to be the place to post this and express my horror and disgust about Jason Edward Wayne 'Byrd' Dickens, and his wife, Dylan Anne McEwan-Dickens, of Toronto (or Etobicoke) Ontario.
Article regarding initial arrest in 2016.
Article about why shitbag's shitbag wife will not be hung with the paedophile label, or be given dangerous offender status, because 'women aren't paedophiles'.
The first article posted is pretty self-explanatory. Just details that they were charged, what the charges are, the fact that the 'man' charged is Jason 'Byrd' Dickens, who played Scott the abusive boyfriend on Degrassi High. What the article doesn't tell you, is that he was arrested twice either while he was still on the show, or after he left/the show ended, I forget; but that's kinda beside the point, I'm a little wordy and get sidetracked easily. The point is, while he was still a teenager, between 17-19 I think, he was arrested twice for raping two girls in a Degrassi fan club. He was subsequently acquitted.
I knew him in the early 00's; I won't go in to too much detail for obvious reasons. I ended up distancing myself from him for a few reasons, not the least of which was his Daddy fetish.
I met his wife while these two degens were still engaged, and she knew full well he was a rapist. Apparently that wasn't a deal-breaker for her.
Anyways. Last year I was watching re-runs of Degrassi, the first season of Degrassi High, I believe, and the scene where Kathleen meets Scott happens, and seeing his face on screen was like a punch in the gut. I dunno why that prompted me to google him, but I did, and that first article is what I found.
At this point, they've both plead guilty to sexual assault, sexual assault/abuse/exploitation of minors - some as young as 2 years old. Possessing, Making and Distributing child pornography/bestiality. Sexual abuse of an animal (they had two Great Danes for pets) and... I think that's it. There could be more I've forgotten, or hasn't been made public.
I do remember hearing that shortly after being arrested, Byrd had his ass handed to him a time or two. I'd send flowers to whomever did it if I knew who they were.
That's it, I guess. My own personal Horrorcows.
