Ohio Indy wrestler Draven Rose has been charged in a child porn investigation according to a report by a Ohio news station. Draven real name James McManaway was charged this month.
Draven was a regular wrestler for the XWE wrestling promotion that runs events at Hocking College. XWE released a statement on Nov 5 via their Facebook page, “Due to unforeseen circumstances that have been brought to our attention, the performer known as “Dazzling” Draven Rose has been terminated from and is no longer affiliated with XWE Pro Wrestling in any capacity. XWE Pro Wrestling will continue to strive to be an exciting, family-friendly environment. We thank you for your ongoing support.”
They did not inform their fans about details of the situation in the post, since the investigation is child abuse related, it would be good information for the parents to have, so they could look into it further.
Here’s the story from 10TV:
A Hocking County man is facing felony charges after he is accused of trying to contact at least two juveniles online.
James A. McManaway, 37, was charged with Disseminating Matter Harmful to Juveniles.
According to the Hocking County Sheriff, McManaway used an alias to contact juvenile females through social media websites.
Parents of the two girls contacted deputies to report inappropriate conversations their teenagers had with the individual.
Hocking County dispatcher and father of four, Darrin Bryan, told 10TV of his interaction with McManaway, while posing as his teenage daughter online.
“You know it might be, you’re looking really cute. I like young girls. If we got together, what would you do? Yeah, there were invites for a sleepover at his house, with his daughter. And it was going to be more than a sleepover,” said Bryan.
Bryan said he talked to the alias enough to figure out that he was really McManaway. He said McManaway revealed that he had a wife and a daughter in the same school as his child. From there, he said the conversation became more sexually suggestive.
“He’s thinking he’s talking to my 13-year-old daughter. I can’t imagine my daughter sitting there reading that, if that would have been her. So, I was pretty angry, to say the least,” said Bryan.
Bryan took his leg-work to the sheriff’s detective for him to investigate, where they also discovered McManaway had been similarly texting another young girl.
“You never know what your kids are doing, I mean, you’ve got to check on them. You’ve got to know what’s going on there. Like my daughter said, she thought it was innocent and harmless. She didn’t read between the lines, or words, for this matter,” said Bryan.
A five-month investigation led to McManaway.
Deputies served a warrant at McManaway’s Haydenville residence and seized computers.
Investigators say several hundred nude images of underage persons were found.
Additional charges against McManaway are pending.
McManaway is currently being held in the Southeastern Regional Jail.
