Paul Stanley Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 In the Ozzfest thread some people were getting confused about the J.P drummer, Scott Travis is the current drummer. http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30100-1120464,00.html The ex-drummer with 70s heavy metal act Judas Priest has been convicted of attempted rape and five counts of sexual assault against a teenage boy with special needs. David Holland attacked the boy between June and December 2002 while the 17-year-old was receiving music lessons from Holland at his rural home. His co-accused, Spiros Laouitaris, 22, faces four separate charges of indecent assault on the same boy. Holland, 55, from Stoke Bruerne, Northants, and Laouitaris, of Kings Heath, Northampton, denied all the charges. Northampton Crown Court was told Holland's abuse was revealed in a letter written by the teenager to his parents on December 14, 2002. Holland wept in the dock as the judge returned the guilty verdicts and remanded him into custody to await a pre-sentence report. Holland joined Judas Priest in 1979 and played with them for the next 10 years in their heyday. The Birmingham-based band reached Number 12 in the British charts in 1980 with two records, Living After Midnight and Breaking The Law.
The Metal Maniac Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 Thanks for clearing that up...Travis is one of my favourite drummers, so I was worried about that.
