Then again, I am also confused by what happened with Ricardo Medina. I mean, I followed the story as closely as I could and it really seemed like self-defense to me. The cops didn't even arrest him at first. But then he ended up getting 6 years in prison. So I am going to remain open minded and hope things turn out better with ASJ.

I was so heartbroken when I got wind of this story about two weeks ago! The thought that the man who played one of my many childhood icons would commit an illegal act (ALLEGEDLY, as far as we know) was so distressing to read 😔. Just like you, 6th Ranger, I am wondering (and HOPING) that perhaps he wasn’t aware of the agenda at hand and he’ll be found innocent of the crime. I’m all for due process.

[@lunarx3820]

Really poor Austin, it seems as if always wanted to see him badly, always try to get him into controversies, that he was supposedly doing adult movies when it was clearly not him because the actor was very different, that one of his cast from the original series supposedly spoke very bad things about him and some people believing that and both things happened while he was busy being a paramedic, and now this and some are already judging him I must say that a good part of the fandom is a disappointment with everything that has been invented about him and that It has been proven that it is false, this comes out and they already judge him, some are so ridiculous that they already criticize him because his real name is Jason and not Austin when many actors use stage names and in many interviews he has mentioned and confirmed that his real name was Jason and the reason why he changed it to Austin he has never denied it, some are seriously ignorant, the guy really is a great person, what a disgrace some of the fandom just want to see others fall.

Oh GOD, I can already see it from here with annoying comments like “Jason/ASJ was never good and Tommy was the best/true leader of MMPR”. And to that I say, can you all just wait until Austin is proven guilty (which I’m REALLY hoping isn’t the case), but we will just have to wait and see. As a fan of Jason‘s character & Austin’s pro-worker/supporting the little guy personality, this news REALLY hurts to hear & it’s such a shame that he was involved with this rather petty scam to being with (if he is guilty of course). Hopefully it’s a just a mix up/misunderstanding and he is indeed innocent but again, we will just have to wait and see.

He actually said in the statement if you read the whole thing, is that he let people basically control hos money and he didnt know what they where doing with it.

What a shame it casts a terrible shadow over the Legacy of Power Rangers even more so with the 30th anniversary coming up, if he has committed the fraud as he'll be adding to a list of Actors who've unfortunately made some terrible mistakes it could mean that the Red Ranger curse has some merit as it can't be a coincidence it's again is a real utter shame hopefully he didn't do as "May the Power Protect Him" if not then he'll be given the S.P.D treatment "You are charged with Fraud and endangering the public at large. ...
