Anyone can lead a double life or succumb to temptation. However, Jon Matthews seems like an unlikely person to have committed such an act. Anyone who listened to him over the years would probably agree.

For example, Rush Limbaugh likes to make double entendres on his show, and it's far spicier than the Jon Matthews show ever was. About as frisky as Jon ever got was talking about drinking grapefruit juice in the morning.

We'll certainly learn more about this in the upcoming days and weeks, and we'll just have to withhold judgment until then.

I dunno about that, does your time in Houston go back to the show he hosted with a guy named Moby(70's)? Moby was all innuendo and trashy talk on his later solo show("Lady, please don't drown those poor puppies..."), so I'm not so sure about how morally virtuous his partner would have been.

Of course people can and do change over the course of a couple of decades. I hope the charges aren't true, but I'll withhold judgement until we read some evidence.

I remember in the early '80's Jon hosed a Sunday late night talk how on 97 Rock. Most callers were teenagers calling Jon for advise. There were kinds that called who had real problems, pregnancy, sexual abuse, physical abuse, drugs etc. It seemed Jon would go out of his way to help these kids and especially girls that were pregnant. I always respected him for helping those kids but now it feels a little creepy.

If found guilty, he is going to prison for quite some time. I don't imagine life in the big house is much fun for a conservative talk show host who molests kids.

Sad, really sad. I hope he did not do this and that it is a frame-up. If he did do it I hope he spends the rest of his days in a cage.

Sorry Jon, your days with Moby were great but if this is true you are no longer a conservative or a human.

It's usually those that are the most modest publicly that end up doing these types of things...

I, for one, am not "withholding judgment." I simply cannot believe that these accusations could be true. I'd as soon think that my own father had done such a thing.
