Edgar Hansen, Deadliest Catch Co-Star, Confesses to Sexual Abuse
Edgar Hansen, one of the stars on the Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch, pleaded guilty in court late last week to the sexual abuse of a 16-year old.
According to The Seattle Times, Hansen confessed to a charge of fourth-degree assault with sexual motivation on Friday.
In exchange for his plea, he received a 364-day suspended prison sentence and was ordered to undergo a sexual deviance evaluation.
He also received two years’ probation and various fees and fines totaling $ 1,653, with an additional $ 4,800 fine suspended, court records show.
Hansen will not serve any time behind bars.
The 47-year old fisherman is the deck boss and key crew member of a Seattle-based crabbing boat helmed by his older brother, Sig Hansen.
The siblings have risen to fame and fortune due to their popular Discovery Channel reality series.
As for the details of this ugly case?
A 16-year-old girl told her therapist in October of last year that Hansen sexually assaulted her at a suburban Seattle home on September 30, 2017.
The aforementioned newspaper cited a probable-cause affidavit filed in Snohomish County District Court to back up this allegation.
This teenager also relayed to the police these same allegations.
In a brief handwritten statement accompanying his guilty plea, Hansen acknowledged “touching [the victim’s] private areas … for the purpose of my own sexual gratification.”
He added:
“I committed this assault… I am very sorry for that conduct and I have commenced treatment to ensure that nothing like this assault ever happens again.”
The victim (unnamed because she is a minor) said Hansen “kissed her on the lips, touched her vagina and had her touch his penis,” prosecutors said in their probable cause affidavit.
Investigators also spoke with Hansen’s wife, who said she “confronted him” after learning of the abuse.
He “initially denied” it, but “eventually admitted that he kissed [the victim] and touched her inappropriately.”
Edgar Hansen’s guilty plea comes just weeks after his famous brother, Sig, was sentenced to probation for spitting on an Uber driver last year.
This Deadliest Catch caption was given a deferred sentence, ordered to undergo alcohol treatment and placed on a year of probation.
Sig told People Magazine at the time that he was “terribly sorry” and “very embarrassed” for his role in this incident.
Sig Hansen is also currently awaiting a decision from the state Court of Appeals over a King County judge’s ruling that would allow a sexual-abuse lawsuit brought by his estranged daughter, Melissa Eckstrom, to proceed to trial.
He has denied her claims referring to Eckstrom’s law suit “an old-fashioned shakedown.”
Also of note, in regard to Deadliest Catch, Blake Painter, a former captain on the show, died in May of a suspected drug overdose.
Neither Hansen sibling nor any Discovery Channel representative has spoken yet on Edgar Hansen’s crime.

Blake Painter, Former Deadliest Catch Captain, Found Dead of Possible Overdose
Very sad news today out of the world of reality television:
Blake Painter, who served as the captain on Season 2 and Season 3 of Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch, was found dead at his home in Oregon on Friday.
He was 38 years old.
Based on initial reporting by TMZ, it appears as if Painter passed away from some kind of drug overdose.
This well-sources celebrity gossip website quotes law enforcement insiders who say a friend of Painter’s grew concerned late last week after not hearing from Blake for a few days.
He therefore called the authorities out of fear of what may have happened.
Officers responded by arriving at Painter’s residence and gaining entry, where they tragically determined Painter had been dead for several days.
No autopsy has been conducted yet as far as we know, and no cause of death announced.
However, the police discovered substances inside the home that they’ll test for possible narcotics.
Moreover, they found prescription pills, although it’s unclear if they were a factor in Painter’s death. We’d prefer not to speculate wildly at this time.
Both the autopsy and toxicology tests will be completed this week, at which time we’ll know more about this tragedy.
We can confirm, however, that police do not believe foul play was at work in whatever transpired.
Painter was the captain of the F/V Maverick on the hit Discovery Channel show cited at the outset of this article.
The expert crab fisherman appeared on multiple season 3 episodes in 2007, after having appeared on even more a year prior, before deciding to quit.
Deadliest Catch, meanwhile, explores the real-life high-sea adventures of Alaskan crab fishermen and has been on the air since 2005.
Aside from this very sad piece of news, the series has sparked headlines of various kinds over the years.
Just a few days ago, crab boat captain Sig Hansen pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge that he spat on an Uber driver in 2017.
As a result, the 52-year-old was ordered to abstain from drugs and alcohol.
That same year, Jake Harris was reportedly arrested for car theft and drug possession.
According to multiple accounts at the time, police found Xanax, a prescription medication used to treat anxiety disorders, as well as crystal meth, which he admitted was for personal use.
Finally, 2015, fellow Deadliest Catch star Tony Lara died at age 50 from a heart attack.
May Blake Painter rest in peace.
