I think we all know that the truth or right does not always prevail at trials. Pedro has a lot of money for the

best criminal defense attorneys money can buy and the victim will be represented by state attorneys. However, accusers should never be retaliated against if they lose. It does not make them liars or money grubbers.

People are promised a trial of their peers and due process. Most attorneys will tell you that fairness plays a small to zero role. There was an ID channel recent show

This guy may very well be a creepy molester, or he may be guilty only of being a rich target. Going back on his promise to pay the rent of all his neighbors makes him a guy whose word means nothing, but it does not make him a child rapist. That's why we have a judicial system to give everyone a fair trial.

I also believe his accusers should not be assumed to be liars until the evidence shows otherwise. In our culture and in prior posts across lp (for example, a certain member rambling about women on dating sites), I have seen posts about women going for money. And yes, these posts were not lottery related.

If it is an active investigation, little info will be released.

I'm also curious about the lack of information on the crime and accusation. It may be possible that due to his substantial win, there may be scorn involved at his not sharing such a substantial amount with people from his past and hence an accusation. It is true that mothers sometimes convince their daughters to say false things against men in order to send them to jail. Not saying this is the case but that has happened in the past.

the well informed posters

What forum are those posters on? It's sure not this one.

Agreed. No one wakes up in their 40s and decides he suddenly finds prepubescent girls sexually irresistible. I've checked many sites and there's a distinct lack of information. As with this post, they're 99% fluff about him being a lottery winner, and almost no details re the actual charges. I'd love to believe that they wouldn't have arrested and charged him without sufficient corroborating evidence but I'm not that naive. I find it strange that with all the accusations and legal issues he had... [ More ]

So if you look like Howie Mandel, all is good. But if you grow a beard, you must be guilty because in the eyes of a bigot, you now have the appearance of a terrorist, and that's all that matters. Your physical appearance. Yeah, okay. Got it. Reading you loud and clear.

I'm with you on this accessment!

Scary that an allegation has already met the well informed posters of the school of assumption.

While I'd like to surmise an 'act' of this nature is unacceptable..And deemed worthy of awareness..I tend to think (as you do)..That $$ is playing a big part in the 'victim' coming forth...

I don't personally 'know' this man...So to give an opinion based on looks seems...Ohh I don't know...judge'MENTAL... [ More ]

I'm going to give the guy the benefit of a trial. The guy could be guilty as sin, but it's not out of the realm of possibility that he's innocent.

You put it so simply for me that I don't know what the hell you're talking about but I do know that I sure don't want a further explanation.

Well let me put it very simple for you. If you look like Howie Mandel beards and Win millions in Powerball Just to look like a Taliban in four years or an isis member wanna be you are 100 percent guilty for anything I don't need to even read the charges . Looks like a Taliban Guilty as hell

Wow- no longer innocent until proved guilty in this forum. I wonder if it's possible that the person (and her family members) making the accusation saw a pile of money and decided to take a shot at it- doesn't this seem like a possibility to anyone? Wouldn't want you guys on a jury of my peers lol

Additionally to max sentencing, If he is legally here aside of restitution- he should be minimally required pay all court, legal fees and jail upkeep fees......and not the public

Child molesters, child rapists, are not looked upon too kindly by fellow inmates.

He will probably die in prison if he is not protected bye the guards in state prison. Especially if he is in general population he will get beat down.-weshar75

JoeBigLotto — Thu, 21 Sep 2017 01:17:42 GMT

He will most likely take a plea deal and spend 10 yrs in Jail and out in seven yrs with probation. But however I also do think he may not make it out of jail alive due to bad health. Am not wishing him bad luck but think about it if he looks this terrible with $330 million dollars what will he be like in Jail not looking good . If this crime was committed before he won the lottery then this may be extortion plot but if he committed this after he won then I think he will go to jail for ten yrs an... [ More ]

I wonder from a psych 101 perspective, if he committed the crimes after the win? The I am God syndrome and can get away with anything.

lejardin — Thu, 21 Sep 2017 00:23:30 GMT

Me too, I remember him also. Didnt he flee to the Dominican Republic with all his money leaving the girlfriend?

He sure has changed A LOT in 4 years.

I would think winning the lottery would allow you to pay off back child support and any bills would be a relief.

Child sex assaults, throw the key away, what a sicko.

I remember him. Although I could have sworn there was another winner who fled to Mexico for making out with $110000.

CDanaT — Wed, 20 Sep 2017 23:33:04 GMT

I wonder if this transpired after or prior to his winning lottery moment ?

All that money won't help him if there is a conviction on just one of the felonies.

JoeBigLotto — Wed, 20 Sep 2017 23:32:28 GMT

I accurately predicted he will end up in Jail like OJ because he is stupid and waits till the last minute to do the right thing. I said he was like the fat guy in the blues Brothers movie running from the law and just waiting to be locked up. But am surprised he made it thru four years I expected two years . Well it took longer for his crimes to be reported and processed this is really sad. And I also predicted people in Dominican republic will be spending his money for him and call him another

Father time has not been kind to him. Too bad they couldn't use any money left over to pay for his prison time.

Todd would ban me if I said what I'd like to say. Suffice it to say you bait with something and they'll get you every time.

I remember Pedro! Didn't he promise to help relatives somewhere? Never pegged him for a predator. He has aged quite a bit.

Lottery Post — Wed, 20 Sep 2017 23:09:18 GMT

By Todd Northrop

A Wayne, New Jersey, man who won $338 million in one of the largest Powerball lottery jackpots in New Jersey history has been charged with repeatedly sexually assaulting a child over a three-year period, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Pedro Quezada, 49, is charged with two counts of first-degree aggravated sexual assault, two counts of second-degree sexual assault and one count of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child, according to Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia... [ More ]
