Are Cake Boss days numbered?
Remy Gonzalez Update – Teen allegedly assaulted
Update: Eyebrows were raised because of the fact that Remy Gonzalez has been in jail for over a week – despite the family having loads of cash from the success of the Cake Boss show. Sources close to Hoboken411 say that apparently his wife Lisa (Buddy Valastro’s sister) was the one that turned Remy in for the alleged assault.
Sources say that a teenager, who supposedly is a relative of the family was allegedly assaulted – and may have been handicapped.
More to come as details are confirmed…
8/25/2010:
Update: TheWrap quotes a law official in Morris County saying no child was sexually assaulted, but rather “they were in the house.” So it’s possible the alleged assault took place with children as witnesses.
Cake Boss co-star arrested for sexual assault charges
TMZ is reporting that Cake Boss co-star Remy Gonzalez is being held for various sexual assault charges and child-endangerment in Morris County, NJ.
TMZ reported that Gonzalez is being charged with aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, criminal sexual contact, and endangering the welfare of a child, and is being held on $300,000 bail.
Gonzalez is married to Buddy Valastro’s sister.
Commenters on TMZ had sentiments such as “I’m not eating any cake he helps because now I KNOW where his hands have been. Yuck.” and “There goes the line in front of the bakery–maybe Hoboken can go back to being normal!”
Do you think this will hurt or help the popularity of Cake Boss?

Celebrity worship guarantees a sizable number of swooning females.
Once his bad boy cred is established he will have no shortage of romantic attention.

Provocation. Hm. I can envision teens throwing themselves at pretty much anyone they idolize. Because many do.
However, I think that *adult* Remy should have kept his d*ck in his pants, like the many men who don’t and get themselves into trouble. Yes, even if the girls claimed to be “eighteen” or whatever.
He simply made the choice not to keep his d*ck in his pants. He’s weak.
That’s how I see it.

He still is should be held accountable. When you are a grown man, you should not be chasing teenage tail (even legal 18 year olds). It’s just wrong.

There are no excuses for this type of behavior, in any shape or form, and the a**hole must be held accountable for his actions. I say give him a fair trial then hang him.

At my Senior prom one of the girls at my table brought her boyfriend who was at least 27 at the time. I still look at those pictures and laugh at the creepy older man with a mustache sitting at our table. Apparently her parents allowed it too, they were dating since she was 14. That would make him perhaps 26 when they met. Creepy!
As far as this guy Remy after a few weeks in the county lockup child molesters don’t come out unscathed. He will be beaten and turned if you know what I mean.

Grand Jury will review case of ‘Cake Boss’ brother-in-law charged with child sex assault!
Remy Gonzalez, a member of the Hoboken-based “Cake Boss” cast, has been arrested on several charges involving sex crimes against a minor.
MORRIS COUNTY — Child-sex-assault charges against the brother-in-law of “Cake Boss” Buddy Valastro, and a main character in the TLC show based on Carlos Bakery in Hoboken, were forwarded today to a grand jury for review.
Remigio “Remy” Gonzalez, 32, of East Hanover, was arrested Aug. 17 and admitted to witnesses he assaulted the teen in March in East Hanover and Florham Park, according to an arrest affidavit filed in Superior Court in Morristown.
During a brief hearing today in Superior Court in Morristown, Judge Philip Maenza forwarded the case directly to a grand jury for review after hearing from attorneys on both sides.
Morris County Assistant Prosecutor Meg Rodriguez asked that the case be sent to a grand jury. Defense attorney Ricardo Rodriguez said he has not yet had a chance to review all of the state’s evidence in the case, which he said he received and is voluminous, containing some 291 pages of documents on several computer discs.
Gonzalez, who remains held in the Morris County jail in lieu of $300,000 bail, appeared in court this morning handcuffed and in an orange inmate jumpsuit. He is charged in both towns with first- and third-degree aggravated sexual assault, second degree sex assault, third-degree endangering and fourth-degree criminal-sexual contact of the 14-year-old on March 9, according to criminal complaints.
On Aug. 17, detectives from the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office met with two witnesses, who said the victim claimed to have been sexually assaulted by Gonzalez, the affidavit said.
The witnesses, whose identities were not disclosed, had confronted Gonzalez on Aug. 13 and he denied sexually assaulting the teen. The witnesses later told him they were going to take the teen to a doctor, who would have to contact police if anything were found, and it was then that Gonzalez “began to cry and admitted (to the witness) that he had engaged in acts” of sexual assault, the affidavit states.
The teen’s gender was not disclosed in the affidavit.
The victim told police on Aug. 17 that the incidents occurred once in East Hanover and once in Florham Park, and Gonzalez told the teen not to tell anyone what had happened, the affidavit says.
One of the witnesses also recorded a phone call with Gonzalez on Aug. 17.
During that call, according to the affidavit, the witness said he/she “could not believe this was going on. You broke our hearts,” to which Gonzalez replied, “I know, I know I did.”
Also during this call, Gonzalez acknowledged having previously admitted on Aug. 13 that he assaulted the teen, but now said he only touched the teen’s intimate areas, and that he “made a mistake,” “wanted to get help” and to “forget about it,” the affidavit says.
When contacted by police, Gonzalez made no statements and asked for an attorney. His attorney could not be reached for comment.

I live Crumbs and I like Krispe Kreme better than Dunkin Donuts. To each their own.

To each their own. Sweet is a good time. Crumbs is disappointing. Lovely to look at, though.
Dunkin Donuts sucks, too. It is hard to find a good doughnut these days.

I completely agree with previous comments about Remy but i dont think that his actions and the disgusting things that he has been doing should go against Buddy, his family his bakery and especially not his wife and kids. I think his actions do not reflect the others and should not mean that people dont go anymore as i am sure that when he gets out of jail, he will not be welcomed back into the bakery and will probably be divorced by his wife!!

In looking at most of the comments on this thread, the popular thing to do is to call Remi a sick pedophile, but I guess I’ll be the unpopular one and say something different…
I’m originally from Spain but I’ve been living in the states these past few years while going to school. The sexual age of consent in Spain is 13. For the majority of Europe though, the age of consent is 14 or 15, with the only exceptions being the UK, Norway, Finland, and Belgium, who are all 16 – the highest age of consent in Europe. Growing up, I never gave it a second thought. Lawmakers in Europe tend to write laws based on the way that things are, not the way some feel things ought to be.
When it comes to age of consent issues, lawmakers base the age on one simple question, “What age do humans become sexually driven at?” And that age determines the age of consent, which is why it tends to be so low. In the US though, it tends to be 16-18 depending on the state you live in. The 18 one seems almost funny to me… because, let’s be honest, do people really think that the age when you’re allowed to vote is also the age when you start to want to have sex?
The other disturbing thing I’ve noticed here, is that when two people do have consensual sex, if one is under the Age of Consent, lets say 15 in this example, people immediately call it “assault” because, based on the legal definition, they’re not allowed to see it as consensual, and have to refer to it by it’s “legal word”, which automatically makes it an non-consenting act.
I completely understand that the US was founded by the Puritans and has a long history of generally being very conservative about sex and embracing the Puritanical influence here, especially where the law is concerned, but does everyone in the US generally tend to think this way? Does anyone ever feel like maybe it should change? I never see anyone really challenge that mode of thinking so I just find it really interesting is all.
