Mel Hall Convicted of Child Sex Abuse

AUTHOR: | IN: Criminal Behavior | COMMENTS: 10 Comments |

Some of you may remember Mel Hall as a decent slugger with the Yankees back in the early ’90s.  Those with good memories for home run trots may recall Hall’s as one of the longest, slowest and most asinine ever witnessed on the planet earth.  Aficionados of Jheri Curl may remember Hall’s trend-setting hairstyle.  From today on, however, Mel Hall will be remembered for only one thing:  being convicted of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl while coaching a youth basketball team.

“A Tarrant County jury took about 90 minutes to convict the 48-year-old Hall on three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and two counts of indecency with a child,” says the Associated Press.  “The sentencing phase was to resume Wednesday after two witnesses testified Tuesday afternoon. Hall faces up to life in prison.

“Hall’s accuser, now 23, testified Monday that Hall engaged in sex acts with her in various places, including her home and Hall’s apartment.”

Even Roman Polanski thinks Hall is a dirtbag.  He did sport some awesome Jheri Curl though.

That guy got railroaded It's crazy the jurs did not wonder why 10 years later then going to all the palces and still playing in the same team Very Fishy!!!!

Hi Coach & Janet,

I feel good that you are writting this because you are right The 2 girls I don't want to say their name they know who they are....Saying she got "RAPED" In the house .. In Mr Hall's Apartment... At the field ..At the hotel on the road WOW she got raped everywhere.....If you would of gotten RAPED BY HIM Would of you Gone to his house? Would of you gone on the road with him? Would of you still play ball for the Team? I guess your answer is NO... So why was she still going are him I'd be Scared "AS SHE SAYS" I'll tell you Why... She was mad that her Mother fell in love with Mel and left her Husband She was out to get him She lied under oath she is not scared to do anything.. That's why this was fabricated This Rape Story.. and added her friends from the same year to say oh yeah he touched me too....I'm glad you guys came out and spoke the truth about this something should be done Poor Inocent man and a Great Guy we loved him dearly!!!!! Even Al Pacino's Daughter was going to testifie but was out of town and the Judge did Not want o give a continance We are appalled with the out come and The Journalist should of done some research before printing yeah he is Guilty! Jurys gave only 20 minutes to convict him One day .. Dont even know the Story or Facts just hearsay...What a Shame!!!

How did I miss this story. Wow. Did they decide which side was right yet and who is telling the truth? This totally sucks.

OK Mel Hall Hater : Stop singing the Song because you Won right Now! Don't you have anything better to do then Write bloggs Move on... you know who you are and I do to like Janet Says your Full of S--T! I was a coach... there too it's to bad the Jury's saw the little actress You Stocked him then and you stocked him Now....No team wanted you but he gave you a Chance and you took atvantage
So stop writting so nice to make people think oh she is for real shes hurt you know you are a Mentaliy Ill person and a Mean B---h and Soooooooo Ugly!!!!! You look like a Boy!!!!Oh sorry that I had to write that, but your Lies will bite you HARD....Your Shameful go on with your life Your Bored Now !!!! ? What are you going to think Next Which Person are you and your friends going to Dance to we won we won too? Who are you going to Destroy Next Your Father ??? Your Pathitic!!!

Not sure what Ms. Janet Robertson means or is trying to imply, but I'm sorry to say sweetheart you are so far from the truth. I feel sorry for what you think of this man but I truly am thankful you never had to witness the truth. I know you are probably upset with what you don't understand but there are so many girls that I cannot even fathom.
You sound very innocent and unfortunately I will never have that because this man that you so highly praise took this away from me and others.
As far as you not being at the trial, why don't you, since this is obviously important to you, get the records that have an exact script of what everyone said. Then you will be able to see how many girls did come forward but because of the law we were only able to go to trial with one case at a time. If we would have had the opportunity to bring all the girls forward, i guarantee he would have gotten life and this blog might not even exist. All you are able to hear about are the two girls so again, I don't fault you for what you don't know. In the script you will hear about the five people who stood up for him and in those five, one was asked if you believe the girls and the witness said, "yes". The other witness didn't even know how many siblings...but claimed to be close, think on that one.
To answer your question on why the wait. Well, I'm sorry again you will not be able to relate. Bottom line, Strength and Trust are two keys to coming forward. How do you expect a kid to believe an adult would take their word over the coach. The manipulation he mastered to make one believe he was not in the wrong so how do you tell? Some did tell right away...constantly, and nobody knew what to do so it was thrown under the bus til the strength to do something about this was revealed.
I'm not trying to make you believe and you are obviously entitled to your opinions so feel free to stand up for him and everything he means to you, but quit putting down what you don't know. You don't know the girls. I haven't met one person that has not been supportive. So the fact that you are against them, proves you have never engaged in a conversation with them, and if you want to talk to them and claim to have played with them, then you can clearly get in touch and they'd be more than welcoming of the conversation. I guarantee it.

For the people if you read the paper No Mr Hall had No previous Record Just this 2 Girls from 10 years ago and they got one more Loser to say yeah if tryed to touch me So for the information it was these 2 girls from 10 years ago.......Only that accused him what a Shame 2 Disturbed Trouble Makers...

I know who you are! Yes and you know who I am, you are Nothing but a trouble maker and I became Not friends with you because of the Lies you were Fabricating that was in court too bad I was out of town or Else I would be there on Stand for Mr Hall and your Mouth would of drop and you would be Sh--g in your pants and behing Jail foryour Lies because you and your friend Planned this ..Yes you heard me I know who you are back in 1998... If you were so hurt Why are you looking into the Bloggs to see what people write it's because you have Nothing Better to do and Bored Your Evil!!! Charma will come Back too you and Haunt you!!!!You are a DisGrace to Society.....Keep on Writting Bloggs because you were so Victimized. If people were Molested like you said they would of MOVED ON Not being on this Bloggs and write you SICKO!!!!!! Your Duty was Done what you wanted to Achevie.....People Belive me This man Mel Hall was wrongly Accused.....

Janet Robertson you have no idea!! He might have been nice to you but you really are clueless. You should feel like an idiot saying this stuff! Everything you said is a a total lie! Trust me, I know this for a fact!!! Don't you wish it was that easy as a young girl to just come forward right away. It is a hard thing for children to do. Once they become adults, they realize that something was taken away from them & know that he needs to be locked up. That's the only way he is going to stop! The jury heard the truth! Why did his sorry ass not get on the stand? I think we all know why; he knows he is in some trouble and he is the type of person that would NEVER admit to anything! I guess plea dealing in other counties and with other cases is his way of saying "Yes I'm guilty!" Get the facts straight before you ever open your mouth again!

I wanted to tell the People about Mel Hall he is Not a Molester The "Girls" Got together and Ruined him I feel sorry for he's Family and Kids and Him how girls could Just be Mean ....He coached me and I'm very good looking not to brag He was nothing but Professional and a nice man.. But they had planned this for 2 years then ten years later the 2 girls nailed him and then 20 years ago the 17 year old Mother and Daughter mailed fan mail to meet her daughter then No response mother brought her daughter to yankee Games to push her daughter on Mel Hall after her family RAPED him of his Money and goodness ...She is a PROFESSIONAL but people dont want to hear the Good they want to hear what they want to hear It's Scary to know JURYS could put you behind bars for a long time by just seeing one Side they are Prejudice they only thing they saw was a man of color ,OJ, One side.....It's a Shame because Mel Hall is a Great Person.....

Did Mel Hall deny the charges or did he admit to committing them?

Also, what were the races of the alleged victims?
