Statutory rape: reliable sources!!!

Folks, I see that there is once again a fairly lengthy, top-of-the-article account of Patrice O'Neal's alleged conviction for statutory rape. In a biographical article this sort of sensitive material requires very solid references to high-quality reliable sources. And yet there is still no reliable source provided for this: rather, only a single citation to a shock-jocky podcast. A number of people seem to be editing this article. Does anyone here actually believe that this section on the alleged rape, as currently sourced, has any business whatsoever staying in the article? Babajobu (talk) 11:41, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Folks, I'm deleting those two sentences. Do not put them back in without providing a reliable source for the claim that Oneal was convicted of statutory rape. Thanks. Babajobu (talk) 20:25, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In his own words: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CybGo6hALVo

So I'm putting it back in. Karin Anker (talk) 20:47, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

His own comedic podcast is not a Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Removing it. Please discuss here on talk page before putting it back in the article. Babajobu (talk) 20:26, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I love the 80's 3D

I don't have a RS for it, but he also appeared on VH1's series 'I Love the 80's 3D' as a commentator. If anyone can find a RS....add please. Rja13ww33 (talk) 18:27, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
