ESPN Analyst Jeremy Green Placed On Suicide Watch After Child Porn Charges

Ugh. Jeremy Green, former ESPN football analyst and son of former NFL coach Denny Green, has been placed on suicide watch after being charged with first-degree possession of child pornography in Connecticut.

Green was fired from his job as a TV analyst on ESPN after he was arrested on July 8th in a Connecticut motel. In addition to the child porn accusation, Green also faces charges for possession of narcotics and use of drug paraphernalia.

The Hartford Courant also reported details from Green’s arrest warrant, and they are predictably awful. Green participated in an online chat with a woman with the very creepy screen name of lendingmom12, then “shared sexually explicit photos and videos of a toddler, and told the woman he was chatting with that he ‘couldn’t wait for her to bring her three children to Connecticut.’”

The woman, it turns out, was from the Missouri County Sheriff’s Department. Missouri County soon tracked down Green with help from Bristol police.

Bristol, Connecticut police (Bristol is the home of ESPN headquarters) were brought into the loop on July 2, and Green was arrested at a Holiday Inn Express after police tracked his activities from a nearby residence to the hotel. His girlfriend was also in the room, along with laptop computers, flash drives, and an unspecified amount of cocaine.

Green’s court-appointed attorney is trying to get his bond of $750,000 lowered, according to the report. The fact that he has a court-appointed attorney at all may mean that Dennis Green, who had a long and financially fruitful career as an NFL coach, isn’t willing to help his extremely troubled son.
