QCrimes: Pat Bateman Jailed For Sexual Battery & Sex With Minors
We have bad news for fans of gay-for-pay performer Pat Bateman. Unzipped magazine reported that he’s been jailed for 1 count of sexual battery & 5 counts of sex with minors (including with a minor boy at least 3 years younger than Bateman).
The sexual battery charge floored us, but we’re less certain about the five counts of sex with minors. Unzipped made sure to mention that Bateman’s initial arrest occurred in 2004 when he was 19. The minor he had sex with could have been as old as 17—which hardly makes him a pedophile. But oddly, the police delayed the arrest for five years and that has us scratching our heads.
One person surmised that perhaps Bateman was on probation and broke it, though we’re not sure and without elaboration on the specific charges, we can’t know the circumstances behind his eventual arrest.

Nonetheless, Bateman got sentenced in summer of 2009, five years after his initial charges, and now he’s in Northern California’s Santa Rita Jail. We don’t yet know for how long—but we’ll definitely dish the details once we get them.
In the meanwhile, Unzipped’s Zach Sire followed up by saying that they “haven’t been successful getting… details [on why the sentencing was delayed for 5 years], but my best guess is that a) the trial/court proceedings lasted 5 years, or b) he evaded the authorities for 5 years and a warrant was issued.”
Another Unzipped commenter, yoshimispinkrobot, said:

Considering when he gets out he most likely will have to register as a sex offender which is pubic record. As a registered sex offender, he will no longer be allowed to work in the sex industry. If he tries, he will go back to prison.

Could this mark the end of the hunky porn star? Some of us may not have liked his gay-for-pay schtick, but that’s hardly jail-worthy. More details as they unfold!
