Tom Wopat, one of the stars of the 1980s hit TV show, "The Dukes of Hazzard" was arrested on drug, battery and indecent assault charges in Massachusetts on Wednesday night.
My daughter loved that show at age 4. She had a crush on "Bo Duke." She thought he was so "handsome."
Sorry to read this about Tom. He is definitely old enough to know better. I'm wondering how old the female was. These "young-uns" don't put up with this c*ap like us "old-schoolers" did back in the day.
"Tom Wopat wishes to express his deepest regrets to friends, family, and his many loyal fans concerning recent unfortunate events. As a result of this incident, Tom was forced by court order to leave a production of “42nd Street” in Waltham, Massachusetts that was due to open the next day. He is truly disappointed not to be on the stage with his fellow performers and wishes them success in this and all future endeavors.
Mr. Wopat urges everyone to keep in mind that these are allegations; he’s alleged to have improperly touched an adult female performer during rehearsal in the presence of the entire cast and directing staff. He firmly denies any wrongdoing, and after thorough investigation by his defense team and a full airing of the facts, Tom has faith that the truth will be revealed and his good name will be restored.
In the meantime, Mr. Wopat will be taking personal time to address his ongoing struggle with substance abuse. While death and illness in the family, combined with the intensity of his recent schedule, certainly contributed to his misstep, Tom definitely understands that sobriety is the sole course for a successful future and will take immediate steps to achieve it."
