Grover Beach man charged with molestation

Written by

30-year-old Michael David Gray has been arrested on charges of sexual molestation. Gray is accused of meeting a 15-year-old girl on MySpace and having a sexual relationship with her for six months.

During the relationship, police say Gray provided the 15-year-old with methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana and alcohol. On one occasion, he also took nude photos of the victim and showed them to others.

First of all what kind of scumbag not only engages in a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl but gives her meth and coke on top of it. Secondly, where were this girl’s parents?

Maybe you shouldn’t believe everything in the media. I know this man and the facts are not all straight. In fact, several of the charges against him have been dropped. So maybe before you go around making assumptions based on a breaking news story, you should wait for all of the facts. Who are you to judge?

I agree who is any one to judge, i also know this man he is wonderful and fun loving and meet up with a girl who lied and decieved more than just mike she has done this to others…. so many people want to judge but only few know the facts i think to many people listen to the media because it is lat breaking new so what we live in a small town so every thing that happens is late breaking people just need to let the law do its job before they pass judgement on any one

This entire thing makes me sick. I can not believe that we as a society are so quick to judge. Instead of pointing fingers and starting a witch hunt why dont we all look at the facts and wait for justice to be surved! I hate to tell all of you “non-believes” this but the truth is going to set Mike free. The media lies, little girls that get their feelings hurt because they lied eventually lie, and all of those people who claimed to be Mike’s friends lied. Where are you now? Where will you be when he is proven not guilty? Where will you be when he is rebuilding the life the all this girls lies told? And how about the parents out there that are reading this?? Do you know what your children are doing? Do you know that they are on various websites (not just myspace) running around sending nude pictures of themselves, lying about their age, and meeting up with people? Maybe it’s time for the parents of this girl to take some of the blame. I can tell you right now i wouldnt be dropping my 16 year old daughter off with a man that i thought was a threat!!!!!

her parents are probably locked in the bathroom doing drugs, they obviously didn’t give a shit about their daughter.

This entire case will be thrown out in no time! I’m standing by my friend i know what he is and isn’t. He may be a lot of things but a child molesting junkie is definitly NOT one of them! And when is the media going to stop blaming myspace.com for these incedents? there are plenty of other websites too that young girls go on, make profiles and lie about their age on! Luckily Mike has a lot of good friends and we’ll be by his side through all of this crap! because that’s exactly what it is… CRAP!

And if you read the other stories you would know that all of these stories don’t revolve around myspace. There are stories about facebook and countless others. So you know what the guy is doing all the time huh? DOUBT IT!! Believe it or not people do lead double lives, and apparently your ‘friend’ did. GET OVER IT. If there is evidence that he did this, then he is screwed no matter what.

The thing is, yes these things do happen, and yes there are a lot of bad men out there. But Mike Gray is not one of them. The main lesson I learned here is that I will think twice before I judge someone accused of this sort of crime. Because the media never gives all sides of a story. Those of us who know Mike and are still by his side through all of this know the facts, the facts the media will never show. I don’t see any late-breaking updates on this story. It’s because he is innocent and they have no continuting story to tell!

I know Mike as well, and if he DID do this knowing she was a minor shame on him and i hope he gets what he deserves. But seriously, what 15 yr old at the time would want ANYTHING to do with a 29 yr old at the time. Think about it people. She probably did lie. Now the whole drug thing? Unfortunetly, I can see that happening, which I might add disgusts me.

Of course the guy is going to claim is innocences to people he knows. But the prosecutor is NOT going to go around telling what evidence they have on him. And if his lawyer is any good he would tell him NOT to discuss the case with anyone at all.

Actually he is honest about the situation. Those of his friends who have spoken to him about it know what’s going on, what’s true, and what isn’t. I agree with JH..it’s sad that people who claimed to be his friend would turn their backs on him without even talking to him about it. Innocent, guilty, or otherwise, his real friends will stand by him. That is what this is all about. Those of us who know and love Mike standing by our friend through thick and thin.
It doesn’t matter what those of you who don’t know him say as long as those of us who do speak out on his behalf.

This will be my last post.
He’s not a disgusting human being. He is a good person, and you must not know him well enough to be making statements like that. I have known him for almost 9 years. How long have you known him bobby mcferrin? I am also a female, as are the rest of the people who posted good things about him and none of us have never had any problems with him. He would give the clothes off of his back for his friends, his girlfriend ( stay strong hon!) and his family. And to Chuck D…she did lie about her age, even on her myspace profile her age was above legal. Bottom line is this: Nobody is perfect. We all make mistakes. And Mike is going to have to live with the consequences of this situation for the rest of his life, no matter what happens. Now, go gallop off on your high horse.

Anyone ever see the SVU ep Pandora, in which a 14YO girl runs away to the Czech Republic to be w/a man (who turns out to be a kiddie pornographer) she met online? After being caught and questioned, the guy tries that same tired defense about how “she told a lie” (re: her age)… Detective Stabler’s simple response? “Sucks for you”.

first of all, why is his girlfriend staying with him, he met up and hooked up with a girl he meet on myspace, who cares if she said she was of legal age. secondly, can’t you tell when someone is 15 yrs old, isn’t it a clue their parents were dropping them off? even if she said she was 19, he’s 30!!! not okay! why does this seem so unbelievable to people that say they know him so well? the few times i have hung out in the same place as mike, he spoke disrespectfully about women and bragged about all his girlfriends! i don’t think he’s a dangerous child molester, but basically a pervet, and young girls are the only ones who would fall for his BS

I have known Mike for a few years know. All of you who are sticking by his side know in the back’s of your mind he sooooo did it. Oh ya and C.R. shut the fuck up!!!! If Mike was a big boy he would defend himself. Not hide behind his little girlfriend who is 9 years his jr. And know she want to marry him WTF…Do you think that is going to make it all go way..It will make you look like a fool..you will be married to a child molester.

To all of you who dont know Mike let me tell you a little back ground. Mike has cheated on every girlfirend he has ever had that includes you Tiffiny. He loves to back stab his friends and loves to talk shit about them when they are not around. So, if you think Mike does not talk shit about you…think again…Please don’t get me started on little miss Tiff-Tiff you need to get your fucking head out of your ass and open your eyes and look around…your BOYFRIEND got cought with a 15 year old…Alls I have to say is it’s about time… it’s about fuckin time… Mike is a fucking PIG..he prays on young girls who have low self-esteem and no self confendence.

If all you little grils want to defend this child molester.. Pound for pound I will go rounds with you and I will win. Because we all know what a pile of shit Michael David Gray is…..

Everyone say’s he is so nice and so funny…So was Dommer….

Alrighty Molly, you’re a peach. And yes, I know the things he is capable of, I suffered them as his girlfriend. I am not saying he is perfect. I know he isn’t. I know he makes mistakes and puts himself in horrible situations. I have been telling him that for years. The bottom line of it all is, he isn’t a bad person. He isn’t a child molester. He’s just a little ignorant when it comes to women ( sorry Mike!). And as for Tiff, you may not like her, you may think she is being dumb, but at least she is standing by the man she loves even if he’s made mistakes. I know what it’s like to have to defend him to others. I was angry at him for a long time, but I also know I will always love him in my own way. I stand up for him because I believe he is a good person, not perfect. Either way the truth of the matter is this: He has not been found guilty yet. SO until he is, YOU Shut the fuck up!

all i have to say is every one is entitled to there opinions so for those of you how want to talk you shit that is fine for those of you who want to stand by his side keep standing but in the end the law will decide and by the way he didnt get cought not even when the police did there sting operation he told her to leave him the fuck alone no he is not perfect and has cheated but who hasnt so some of you all talking shit are hippocrets my husbend is 11 years older then me so when we meet i was 18 and he was 30 and what about the fact that mikes room mate meet the girl and when the cops asked him he told them a alis and wrong age mike has not had a myspace in month which is why there is no evidence and i know he is not perfect and he talks shit about every one he is not a child molester ignorent yes……but in the end the law will make that choice and when they do those who knew he would be proven innocent will be relieved…….but opinions are only opinions and how lame is it people are telling each other their opinions are wrong mike knows who he real friends are and that is all that is important to him and tiff……and for those who are talking shit how would you react if one of your normal friends was accussed of this put yourselfs in his friends shoes most of his good friends have kids he has been around since birth so like i said most of you would do for your friends as mikes friends are doing for him

So what if most charges were dropped the fact is he had sex with a 15 year old. How do you not know that you are fucking a 15 year old. Weather it was consentual or not it was still wrong that a 30 year old man slept with a 15 year old girl. He gave this little girl drugs. wtf is wrong with him. He almost went into the police academy… MAN HE WOULD HAVE BEEN A FUCKED UP COP

Allan Hancock College has no record of this man ever attending their “Police Academy”. I heard he dropped out before finishing the class. I’ve been hearing alot of things from alot of different people that supposedly knew this guy. Why live a double life, unless you are ashamed of who you really are and the things you really like to do. The truth will set you free both emotionally and mentally. Unless you don’t have conscience, then your pretty much screwed.

Actually he did attend the Police Academy at Hancock. I know because I took him there personally on many occassions. HE Quit going of his own accord because his mom was very sick and between that, work, the academy, and his fiancee at the time (which was me by the way and yes I am still defending him..my ex..which should say something) he couldn’t devote himself 100% to the academy the way he thought he should so he stepped out. People make mistakes sometimes, have errors in judegment. If Mike had done something truly wrong don’t you think he would be in jail right now after his last court appearance? SERIOUSLY leave him alone. ESPECIALLY since none of us really know all of the facts. Let the justice department decide if he is guilty or not and stop pointing fingers when we all know none of us is perfect.

SS I wasn’t actually talking to you so shut your trap. My character is just fine actually, but than you for being concerned. And as for being naive, I think it’s pretty naive for most of you to think that this is all black and white when it is most certainly isn’t. I am not ashamed that I was engaged to him and I have no reason to be. I am not some effed up little girl. I am a grown, mature, successful woman and I never said Mike was perfect. Everyone has flaws. But I will not turn on someone I care about because of something like this and I certainly won’t deny being engaged to him because it will bring my “character” into question. So unless you have something intelligent to say then once again, shut up.

ms successful, grown woman cr-

sorry to say, it really does question your character but you can defend yourself and creepo mike all you want on here =)

black and white? what else do ANY of us need to know? he had sex with a minor, and gave her drugs. sounds like a real winner to me.

a couple of you keep saying we don’t know the real story. honestly, i doubt you know it either. telling everyone what happened just to save face wouldn’t be the smartest thing to do. i guarantee 100% his lawyer told him not to say anything to anyone considering his charges.

as for the girl, by no means and i defending her. she was an idiot to get involved with mike from the get go. enough said about that.

you’re right cr i’m not perfect but im pretty fuck-en close, haha!

like a couple of people already stated. if you knew mike it was just a matter of time before this happened.

and i will shut my mouth when i am good and ready cr.

i await your rebuttal..

have a good day…

I have not always been Mike’s biggest fan…but I know that he would not do something like this. And to SS I don’t know who you are but you must not know Mike that well…because it you would of spent anytime with him you would of known that CR is a beautiful person inside and out.

i know mike well enough to know that what he is being accused of isn’t shocking whatsoever

actually i know quite a bit about mike considering we have mutual friends, and he attended numerous parties and bbq’s that were thrown.

maybe all you people who are defending him don’t know him as well as you all think you do…

side note to cr: it just came to mind that if you are the x fiance that he conversed with me about, all he did was bitch about how fucked up you were and that you were a dope user. some friend. ask his friend eric who worked with him at visual purple, he was there. that is, if you are even the girl. or did he have more than one fiance?

he even hit up our friend cause he needed money to fix Tiffany’s car door he kicked.

so don’t tell me i don’t know anything about mike. i know plenty, even the drama!!!

I just got news of this page and I wanted to check it out. All I have to say is that I’m not scared to have my name on this page. I love Mike more than anything and I am going to be right next to him to support him.Thats what wifes do.

As for Molly…All I have to say is Ur a chicken shit Flo for putting down some fake ass name. Who do you think you are to sit here and judge, Ur on ur 2nd child but you cant even raise your first. So can I judge you as a unfit mother that would rather get fuck’d then read her child a book. I know that this is you flo because your the only one that calls me lil miss Tiff Tiff.

As for everyone that is talking their shit…Go get a life and stop wasting your pathetic life on something this.
