The media sure didn’t seem to care about Richard Hatch and his overtly homosexual self-promotion in reality shows in spite of not only being offensive to many Americans but also with a history of sexually assaulting another participant (Sue Hawk). He later was charged with sexual assault of a child but managed to beat that rap. He went to prison a few times, first for tax fraud. He also was convicted of assault against another homosexual man over something to do with Hatch’s adopted SON. (That’s right. He was able to adopt a sexually abused boy who apparently had a homosexual relationship with the male caregiver Hatch picked for him, and Hatch assaulted the caregiver. But not for the reasons we would have wanted him punished.)
Well, in our society, failing to pay taxes will put you in jail faster than sexual assault.
Hatch was jailed for over 4 years for tax evasion. His attorneys have argued that the prosecution and conviction were flawed because the IRS never completed investigation of his 2000 and 2001 tax returns and never determined that any particular sum of taxes was due
