>On July 16, 1989, Barr raped a 19-year-old girl after a PNW card in Pendelton, Oregon; the girl later filed charges.[2] Barr continued to wrestle as Beetlejuice, despite the charges and the attention brought to him and PNW by the Portland Oregonian.[2] A year later, Barr was polygraphed as part of the police investigation, during which he admitted the girl did not consent, but he believed she would have been willing to have sex someplace else.[4] Barr worked a plea-bargain, and was convicted of first-degree sexual abuse.[2] He was fined $1,000, placed on two years probation, and sentenced to 180 hours of community service, but served no jail time.[2][12] Barr always maintained that he would have beaten the case in court, but was advised to take the plea since it involved no jail time. Also if he lost, the bad publicity would harm the local wrestling business, driving away customers.[4]
