Sounds like he fell off the wagon. Addiction is a terrible thing.

What the heck? I never would have expected this.
Edgar has an endorsement deal with Delo, and last year Red Lobster. I noticed that Red Lobster is featuring Casey and Josh this year...maybe Sig's legal troubles caused that...and now Edgar's. But now I wonder about Edgar and Delo...will they drop him?

I never was very fond of Edgar. Now I really do not like him.

It seems as though many crab fishermen have their demons. I suppose it takes a unique personality to fish on the Bering Sea - one that takes risks regardless of the consequences. That's the kind of individual who is susceptible to addiction. Once under the influence, conscience takes a hike. I'm not excusing Edgar but I'll bet he is more remorseful than any of us can imagine.

It's been a long time since I posted anything but I have to say something. I've been so in love with him for so many years but this is the end. Sorry, but I don't give a damn about his addiction problems or anything else. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse (let's call it what it is, not euphemisms - it's rape) I have no sympathy for him whatsoever. It's over for me. I feel betrayed, illogical as that may sound since I don't know him and he doesn't really owe me any loyalty. My sympathy goes to his family.

What I said is a piece of garbage? Surely you don't mean that?

I assumed that unclepeter was calling Edgar a piece of garbage.

Absolutely not! I was referring to Edgar. I don't see anything in that article that would lead me to believe he was under the influence of any intoxicating substance during this crime. He is not ordered to undergo substance abuse counseling or evaluation or submit to urine or breath testing.

What a shame. I really liked him. Put him in the engine room with Norman I don't want to see him again.

One wonders if DC will have him back, considering what has happened in similar cases of sexual abuse.

I'm just reading about this. I am truly shocked at this one. First my heart goes out to the young girl. Now his wife and kids have to suffer the humiliation, DC will most likely drop him or even the Northwestern in order to distance themselves and for what?? A sick thrill? It is possible he did not know her age but it dosnt matter in this Me Too age. I really liked Edgar too. His beautiful wife has tolerated his past drug use and stood by him. What a selfish idiot. I want him off the show.

Thank you, Unclepeter, I should have known better! My apologies.

I have a friend who used to be a cop in Edmonds,Wa. and told me several years ago that she had been on several calls to Edgar's place for reported domestic violence.

I want him off the show. My heart goes out to the girl and his family too. I don't see her age as an issue. He hasn't been charged with anything associated with being a pedophile, so I'm guessing she is over the age of consent. It is more likely that she was coerced, forced etc. It's sickening, and quite honestly I think if he wasn't semi-famous he might not have gotten the option of not serving his sentence. I think it's time to get that boat off of the show. Between this and Sig also having legal issues, enough. I feel bad for saying that, they used to be one of my favorite boats, but right is right.
That being said...with the Northwestern off the show, it doesn't leave much for me to watch. I can't stand Jake, and I'm not a fan of Josh. I like Sean but his quota is too small to make him a huge part of the show. I used to not like the Wild Bill crew but I find that boat the most interesting now, even before the poor guy ended up overboard. I like Bill and Zach better apart, sometimes family just can't get past things and get past the history to work together. I guess we will see how it all shakes out.
Also one more note...I find Discovery/Deadliest Catch's lack of a statement about this annoying.

So this happened in September. That means he knew about this during the filming of this season. Was he the only one who knew? The sentence seems very lenient.

I am beginning to understand why Norman stays off camera.

Wow - I am shocked. I would assume that's it for Edgar on the show. In truth, I have lost interest in the show and have barely watched it this year. I am simply bored with the same-old-same-old story lines. Maybe it is time to put an end to the show.

Dovecote. I never really cared for Edgar personally, but calling him a rapist is not the truth or fair either. The girl was 16 years old and making out willingly with him. There was inappropriate sexual touching with a minor,not penetration according to court documents. Did what he do with the minor wrong and illegal yes. Did he cheat on his wife, absolutely. Did he rape a minor against their will. No. That is why he is not going to prison and his charge was 4th degree sexual assault, not first degree rape. He will suffer the consequences now by becoming a registered sex offender, losing endorsements once word of this spreads, possibly his marriage and embarrassment forever to himself and the Hansen name and family.

The age of consent in Washington is 16, so there is more to it than what you stated as the statute specifically addresses that age difference is also not a factor. I doubt he would plead guilty if he were not dead wrong in some capacity since as you stated he will be a registered sex offender forever. You're right, he technically isn't a rapist but if you know anything about sexual assault, the damage doesn't depend on the severity of the abuse, so I'm having a hard time finding sympathy for Edgar.

My reading of the charge of assault 4th with the aggravated for sexual purposes does not require him to register as a sex offender.

I am simply bored with the same-old-same-old story lines. Maybe it is time to put an end to the show. Then why are you here? With the same-old-same-old complaining? I find you and your lack of interest disturbing! Maybe it is time to put an end to this message???

For your information I have been on this form for many years. I have a right to my opinion and to post it here. If you don't like it - too bad. Than don't read my posts. FYI, I am not the only one on this site who has said the show has past it's prime.

Crabber is here because this is a place created to air one's opinions of the show. His/her(sorry Crabber don't know your gender) opinion is different from yours,and that disturbs you. The fact that you are disturbed by someone else's opinion kinda disturbs me!

The best way to handle posters like Hambone is to ignore him, which I shall do.

Hello All, Love the series and all of your comments. I was wondering if anyone has an update on the Edgar Hansen situation. Is he still married? Does anyone know how his children are? Has he sought treatment? Hopefully the 16 year old is receiving help.
