STATIC-X Guitarist Busted On Sex Assault, Kidnapping Charges - Feb. 26, 2005


Ken Serrano and Chris Jordan of New Jersey's Asbury Park Press have issued the following report:

He told the 14-year-old Sayreville girl he was "T-Rex" and he liked to impersonate the guitarist for the heavy metal band they both liked, STATIC-X, authorities said.

But the 39-year-old man accused of meeting the girl through the Internet, driving from Pennsylvania and sexually assaulting her in an Old Bridge shopping center in January was no impersonator, police said.

Tod Rex Salvador, who goes by the stage name Tripp Eisen, a guitarist for STATIC-X, was apprehended Thursday in Orange County, Calif. by two detectives from New Jersey, authorities said.

Salvador, of Burbank, Calif., was charged with kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault, luring to entice a minor through the Internet and endangering the welfare of a child. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 30 years in prison on the kidnapping charge alone.

When Det. Scott Crocco of the Old Bridge Police Department and Det. Sgt. David Jones of the state police encountered Salvador, he had just gotten out of jail.

Police in California arrested Salvador on Feb. 10 after finding him sleeping in a parked car with a girl with whom he had just had sexual intercourse, said Jon Fleischman of the Orange County Sheriff's Department.

Salvador was charged with committing a lewd act with a child and was released after posting $100,000 bail, Fleischman said.

Following his arrest Thursday technically on a fugitive warrant from New Jersey, Salvador was turned over to the Central Men's Jail in Santa Ana, Calif. He is being held there without bail while he awaits extradition to New Jersey, authorities said.

"We've confiscated several computers to examine them to see if there are other victims," Lt. Kevin Rehmann of the New Jersey State Police said. "We suspect there may be in several other states."

STATIC-X is one of the most popular groups to emerge from what's known as the nu-metal scene of the late 1990s that spawned bands like KORN.

The band released its debut album, "Wisconsin Death Trip", in 1998. The album went gold, selling half a million copies. A new album is scheduled for release later this year.

A call placed to the band's publicist at Warner Bros. was not returned. A management company, The Firm, referred calls to Salvador's Los Angeles-based attorney, Mark Werksmen, who did not return calls.

Police said the Sayreville girl met Salvador on a web site where he used the screen name "groverygodadat" under the heading "never married male looking for female."

"He tells the girl he's a fan of the band and portrays himself to look like the guitarist in (STATIC-X)," Rehmann said.

He drove out to Old Bridge on Jan. 7 from Pen Argyl, Pa., in a truck belonging to a Pennsylvania relative, said Lt. Robert Weiss of the Old Bridge Police Department. Salvador, who once lived in New Jersey, was back in Pennsylvania from the West Coast on an extended holiday visit.

Police said he had consensual sex with the Sayreville girl in the truck in the parking lot of the shopping center. The girl's mother found out about the assault and went to Old Bridge detective Thomas Montagna, Weiss said.

Stupid metal people.

[Jebus]

Stupid metal people.
silly nu metal guitarist. That's what you mean right?
Why would that guy fuck a 14 year old when he could get almost any girl he wants. Silly pedophile

[GreenTerror]

Exactly.
!@$#$

You people are a bunch of asses. He may have fucked a 14 year old, but imagine how many other people have done that, they just haven't gotten caught. I really shouldn't even be commenting on any of this, mainly cause I have a huge infatuation with him and I would've loved to screw him. Tripp may have done this but that doesn't change my view on him. I've met him and he's an awesome guy. I feel I'm going to get bitched at for what I have to say but I don't see how age has to be such a goddamned big deal. Personally I'd find it to be the girl's fault, maybe she shouldn't have been talking to him in the first place.

Yeah, cause 14 year olds ALWAYS know what's best...

[MindlessSelfIndulgent]

He said he was T Rex o_O

[ThrashedThrasher]

Yeah, cause 14 year olds ALWAYS know what's best...


Oh yes, we always do *rolls eyes*

[MindlessSelfIndulgent]

Then im not saying what i did when i was 14.

[The Talking Pie]

I hate when people use the law to absolve kids of blame from mistakes which their parents need to demonise someone for. Fourteen is more than old enough to consent and know damn well what it entails.

[samr]

yeah, but having sex with a 14 year old? thats gross.

I wouldn't have sex with a 14 year old.

[Vera]

Fourteen old enough to be consent? Perhaps, I mean, sure it's individual but I sincerely doubt anyone who's lost their virginity that young has had zero regrets about the whole thing afterward.

Fourteen is still a fucking kid, man. Teen, maybe, but still a kid. I don't think anyone has a good image at that age about what sex is about and what sort of things it involves. It's probably all stuff learned from porn mixed with stuff learned on TV, mixed with the little they might've learned at school about birth control.

Also, when I saw the topic, I thought of the band "Busted". Oh man. I wish they were still together. Such awesome music. *le sigh*

I agree with Pie, however I also agree with Vera. It all depends on the mental maturity level of the person. Most 14 year olds I know are far from being responsible for themselves (dumbfucks). Compared to me, a lot of people I'm around that are the same age as me are fucking stupid, ignorant, annoying, and immature. Along with that many of them don't know a lot of the sexual terms that even I probably shouldn't know (I'm a bad kid) Anyways, back onto topic. If this girl was mature enough to know better then none of this shit would've technically happened. I still think it's her fault and partially Tripp's but more hers. As for what Vera said about regret and such. I don't see how any 14 year old could have sex and then NOT have regrets about it either, unless they were on their way down the pass of slutism. I know I sure as hell didn't NOT have regrets. I had plenty of them, mainly for losing it at such a young age and to a guy I was no longer dating.
