Former Yankees World Series MVP John Wetteland appeared in court Monday for the first time since being arrested in January on charges of continuous sexual abuse of a child, maintaining his innocence of the horrific alleged acts.
Wetteland, 52, was indicted in March by a grand jury on three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child, occurring between 2004 and 2006, starting when the pitcher’s relative was 4 years old.
“What they’ve accused him of, the only thing worse is murder,” Wetteland’s attorney, Derek Adame, told the Dallas Morning News following Monday’s arraignment hearing.
