MADISON - Three months have passed since Greg Dillon made the dumbest decision of his life.

It was Sept. 26, the night Dillon, 45, of Cross Lanes, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of solicitation, according to Kanawha County Magistrate Court documents.

I missed any previous articles about it, but Dillon seems to be a decent guy that just made a mistake. Hope it works out for him. Not sure how a single drink would impair his judgment, especially since he made the decision that he was okay to drive.

Anyone with experience in Sei-Bu-Kan or Zentokukai?

He has been found not guilty it was entrappment. The judge listened to the tape of that night and the female deputy was the one making the offers. I hope he learns from this terrible mistake.

If you have source/link for the outcome of the arrest, please link. It changes the nature of the story a lot.

It may have been entrapment, but he could have just say no from the beginning. Easier said than done, though. Everyone can fuck up and it’s good to hear he was found not guilty.

How’s Dillon doing nowadays?

May 7, 2008 at 1:00 Kanawha County Magistrate court Judge Carper-Stringling ruled not guilty. If need further info can try public records.

Due to the nature of this newbrief and his conflict with leaving master instructer he has had a hard year. They tried to use this against him and take his students and his belt ranking. But he fought for the truth. Some in the community have stood behind him and he now has over 60 students in his dojo.

I find this outcome intertersting in how he has gained from this brain fart of lack of judgement. Sounds like all he was guilty of was being a smart ass. There were 47 other men arrested that night but his was the only one in the paper. Alot of people were quick to judge him for what they thought was the truth but he fought for the truth and won.

I hope he had that officer’s badge. His named has been sullied publicly.

Would you turn $30-40 for sex? Let me tell you, that’s fucking cheap!

I think in Las Vegas the police do prostitution entrapment. So probably it’s legal for some reason.

Police officers inciting people to break the law (for something which shouldn’t be illegal anyway), is a total perversion of their purpose.

That’s what sad about this whole thing. An infraction or lack of judgement does not make a person a criminal. Cops have discretionary power in such situations, and they chose to fuck this guy up completely.

It would actually creep me out if a woman comes to me while I’m stopping my car at an intersection and tells me she’s gonna give me a blowjob that cheaply. Two things would go through my head:

  1. Where the hell has that mouth been?
  2. My weewee is ugly, wringled and hairy, but it’s healthy and it’s the only one I got!!!

“Edit: Would you have said that if he was accused of child molestation?”

IMO theres a pretty big difference between consensual sex for money and raping children.

Well I understand that when you are talking about very desperate prostitues the prices go down to 20-40 bucks.

I think the term is crack or meth whore.

hmmm call the guy allready !!!

I read the original article and his aquittal here recentally . Heard he was with Ernie Boggs for a spell then now he is not. went to a tourney in nitro wv and angie wollum as well as ernie had nothing good to say about the man . They were saying the guy was not even a black belt. yet his original Sensei ,David Eastwood was there who gave him the Black belt .Eastwood was saying nothing . Alot of pressure from the kings of karate if ernie boggs paints you as an enemy. hmmm
I checked up a little on his school in madison.
The man is a tad on the overweight side. but who is not at 45. ha
He moves well. His self defense and application knowledge is realistic . He has black belts from other styles training with him. He has a sherrif deputy teaching at his school. the local law enforcement come and train with them, The parents trust him and from what I have saw he is the pied pipper to the kids. They LOVE him. I watched him teach and he is witty and can probably see how he could let his mouth get him trouble. He is Funny and gets the point across.
after reading the article, I bet he would not have had the jumbo margarits that tomahawks offer and not talking to strangers doesn’t seem to be in him. I asked one of the parents about the article an his arrest and they said two things. …one ,if you keep stirring the shit it keeps stinking and two, just watch him with the kids and make your own opinion.
strangely,He has aligned himself with other black belts from ernie boggs school .scott dixon,tj bowling, elton hipple,jerry hackney ,scott layton and teddy malone.(all who have made an excodus of boggs school)
I am gonna give the guy the nod. how many others would be shut down by this and not have the backbone to stick with the kids and try to make it right. I dont think I would have . my head would still be in the sand.
So … any questions call the guy. the article put his number in the paper for4 christs sake. It went to the charleston newspaper and that went to every person in the state. whew.!! bet he was the butt of a many joke for a while.
Yet he is still there. hmmmmmmm

You a big James Joyce fan?

Ernie Boggs? KINGS OF KARATE?!?

Do you even realize you’re talking about West Virginia?!?

I dont quite get this. This should be his private business anyway…

Take a page from Eddie Murphy, I was just trying to help! Nobody clowns on him anymore, or Hugh Grant for that matter!

note from greg’s daughter

I am Greg’s daughter. When this happened my mom made me and my brother stay up late an watch the news of him being arrested and made us look at the site of him at the regional jail.she then went to the schools were we go and talked to the teachers and principals about how he is such a bad an ddegenerate person. my mother and her new husband called the scouts , the church and had a woman named Christy Moreland talk to each person in his karate school and try to shut him down and she talked to a few of His employers and they fired him from jobs which he has had foe over 14 years. I refused to talk to him for 2 months. due to my mothers influence and my embarrassment of this.
My mom then went to court and I was given freedom to not see him if I did not want to .I am twelve . I can barley make a decision about what to wear much less seeing someone who is my parent. At 12 we are embarrassed to have parents anyway.
My dad stuck with me though and my brother stuck with him thru it all. I did not . not until christmas and fleetingly at that . until recently. I am ashamed of myself and ASHAMED of my mom for manipulating me , my dads employers , his social life , scouts THE COOURT SYSTEM AND THE COMMUNITY IN GENERAL,.:boxing:
What i have found out is my dad is a remarkable man. he fought off all the gossip, the martial school who was trying to take over and my mom who was trying to ruin him and allmost succeeded. He was on the front page of one paper and page 5 of the state paper. he was about ruined and still managed to find a bright and funny side to all the stress he has been under. most of you smart assed people could not survive this. he told me a few things, he said" I should have not put myself in a position to embarass you all like this, and there has been one good thing out of this… it is not often In a persons life when you find out who your true friends are, out of all the bad that has happened I have made some loyal friends and have been pressed from all sides and got to see what I was made of… very interesting ! So even though I am as guilty of jumping on the band wagon like the rest of you parasites, I realise I was wrong in my judgement, especiall after he was found not guilty. Sooo… I offer this explanation and public apology. I wish my mom could as well:laughing1 …
