Texas Rangers Hall of Fame pitcher John Wetteland was arrested Monday on accusations that he sexually assaulted a young child three times over two years.

Wetteland, 52, has been charged with one count of continuous sexual abuse of a child younger than 14. The Trophy Club resident posted $25,000 bond and was released from custody the same day as his arrest.

“Good observation....another news source says “boy/relative of his”“

Just a hunch, and a few hints in his biography and the Dallas Morning News story.

It all appears that he is charged with molesting a boy.
