Popular Christian Radio DJ Arrested on Child Sex Charges

A popular Christian disc jockey has been terminated, following his arrest Friday afternoon at a Christian music festival, on a sexual assault on a minor charge.

John Balyo, 35, of Caledonia, was arrested at the Big Ticket Festival, one of the nation’s largest Christian music events, Battle Creek police confirmed to WZZM-13.

Balyo, a graduate of Cornerstone University, a Christian college located in Grand Rapids, was employed for the past eight years as an on-air personality at contemporary Christian radio station WCSG affiliated with Cornerstone .

According to Battle Creek police Sgt. Jim Marten, Balyo’s name was given to investigators by Ronald Moser of Battle Creek, who was runs website offering paying customers sex with underage boys. Earlier this month, police raided Moser’s home, where they discovered him with a 12-year-old boy and a stash of child pornography.

The charge against Balyo stems from a single incident in May after Balyo approached and paid Moser to arrange for a sexual encounter with a minor.

Both men were swept up as part of an international initiative to protect children from sexual predators — called Operation Predator — conducted by Homeland Security.

Balyo, who is facing first-degree criminal sexual conduct charges, was terminated by his employer Saturday morning.

Maybe his wife looks a bit manly...???

And maybe when he's giving her one he does her from behind and imagines a man he's doing it to...

Absolutely, Buddhists who are really into it can become clerics.  Are you suggesting they can't?

What is your point? Many Buddhists are not monks or nuns but they're very devoted to their religion. Why are you being so bigoted about Christians?

Only prejudiced against criminals, Raggs.  Why are you defending this guy?  Are you pro-criminal?

Where did I defend him? I'm objecting to you lumping Christians together.

That's exactly what you do with Muslims and blacks.

Well, you are correct...tho it doesn't lead in the direction you might want.

What is a terrorist?  Terrorism is an act, not a person.  Someone becomes a terrorist only after committing a terrorist act.  It is indeed a criminal matter and he or she should be put on trial for it.

Other than that, there are no terrorists.  I see a tugging desire in your mind to say Muslims, Cammepc.

Now we do pay attention to associated activities as a means of preventing criminal acts.  That is my point in this thread.  But we have a great responsibility to not make the attention to associated activities, the actual crime itself.  

That is what RW'ers lose sight of all the time.  Just because a person is Black doesn't mean a crime has been committed.  Likewise, just because a person is a Muslim, or Iraqi, or Syrian, does not mean a terrorist act has been committed.  Nor, least of all, that s/he is a terrorist.

I never came in on the defense of the DJ.

Why would I say that?
What do you think you know about me that would make me class all Muslims as terrorists?

Same way if someone is a Christian, without more, there is no criminal act.
However you made the comment "this is what's wrong with Christianity" which implies that being Christian makes you more likely to molest a child.
All I was doing was pointing out how you're doing the same thing people who constantly complain about Islam do.

Because only RW people can be racist or prejudiced?
