FORT WORTH, Texas — Four men working with the reality television show Cheaters have been indicted on criminal charges related to a filmed confrontation between a woman and her estranged husband over her relationship with a Fort Worth police captain.

If you've never seen the show, it's a cross between Jerry Springer and Cops.

[TLI]

have been indicted on criminal charges...

over her relationship with a Fort Worth police captain.?

Ya don't suppose there is a connection here do ya?

The film crew shoudda been jailed for group stupidity.

In this case it's a cop (Fort Worth Police Captain, no less) that is involved with a man's wife in a unmarked police car.

One has to question the veracity of the charges against the "Cheaters" personnel, don'tcha think? If not, one would have to wonder about department policy on the use of police department vehicles.

I thought only NOLA had less than honorable cops. Hmmm

That's exactly what I was thinking. That ain't no coincidence!

I thought only NOLA had less than honorable cops. Hmmm

What about St. Louis?

I love "Joey the Gumba Metrosexual" who's the host. You have to admit, he's the ONLY guy going for that look.

Rain is wet, sugar is sweet, and (for good or bad) cops always cover for each other.

I hate this show if it wasn't for my wife I'd have never seen this episode they never did confront the cop but the husband and wife got into it hot and heavy we;; actually it was just the husband as soon as the cheaters crew showed up she got on her cell phone and ignored them all as best she could calling them crazy and saying she didn't know what they were talking about

I think the couple was originally from Costa Rica or Guatemala

LOL. Somewhere the original host, Tommy Grand, is laughing his head off over this.

I didn't actually see it - it no longer airs in DC. Thanks for the info. Did it look like Joey was trying to restrain the wife?

All the questions are addressed here:

___

At a news conference in May, Goldstein said that when his crew accompanied Rafael Gutierrez to the fitness center where Maria Gutierrez worked they didn't know there was a protective order against him preventing contact with his estranged wife.

At the time, Rafael Gutierrez was awaiting trial on accusations that he had assaulted Maria Gutierrez twice in February. He was later arrested for violating the protective order — a third-degree felony because he is also accused of assaulting her there.

The indictments also charge that Greco and Carson hindered apprehension by providing Rafael Gutierrez with a means of leaving the scene before officers arrived.

Fort Worth police investigated Paul's actions and he was suspended for 90 days and demoted from captain.


___

TV crew were bringing a guy with a restraining order against him to here, the cop in question did get suspended and demoted for his actions as well.

I hate to admit it, but in a fit of extreme channel-surfing boredom, I happened to see what turns out to be this episode just last night.

From what they showed (emphasis on what they actually showed), at no time did anyone touch the woman.

She just kept her back to them and screamed into her cell phone to a police dispatcher that they were attacking her, and hitting her, begging to talk to the Police Captain in question.

Eventually the husband and the TV crew just left. She never even turned around to face up to them.

They had video of numerous instances of her and the cop in question meeting at a park in his police car.

The videos were apparently explicit enough that they had to obscure the activity. Suffice to say that she had her head in his lap for quite some time.

That cop was a pretty big and buff guy. I wouldn't have messed w/him. I think my best revenge on him would have been to just let him keep her (if she'll cheat w/you, she'll cheat on you).

I would have just used the video in divorce court, and avoided all the drama.

But, it is a pretty stupid show, and I'll never waste my time on it again.

Call me reactionary, but sometimes I long for the old southern Italian tradition of killing your spouse for infidelity. Solves many problems.

looks like one Ft. Worth police officer improved on the LAPD motto
and came up with:
"To Protect And To Be Serviced"

[Lunatic Fringe]

Shows like "Cheaters" are what I call "Train Wreck Television"

[randog]

But, it is a pretty stupid show, and I'll never waste my time on it again.

I always say that, but then they come up with some new train wreck that I just can't miss. The gay lovers episode, for instance, is a must see--the fag-fight during the confrontation is priceless!

Having sex with a cop

Gee I wonder if theres any connection

[skaterboy]

When the men get caught,They try to talk their way out of it and play dumb

When women get caught,They play the victim card and say well its all your fault i did it and blaming the guy for catching her

Men are always pigs but women are never wh*res

[YourAdHere]

Women on the show who get caught always tell their men "you're never home!"
