Bachman-Turner Overdrive's Tim Bachman Charged With Sexual Assault of a Minor
Posted on Jun 15th 2010 by John D. Luerssen

Tim Bachman, one of the founding members of classic rockers Bachman-Turner Overdrive, is now facing charges of sex crimes against a young girl, according to British Columbia's Abbotsford News.

The 58-year-old Bachman was formally charged on Monday in an Abbotsford court and accused of sexual interference with a person under the age of 14, sexual assault and touching a young person for a sexual purpose.

Bachman -- who formed BTO with his brothers Randy and Robbie plus Fred Turner in the early 1970s -- was arrested by Abbotsford police for incidents that supposedly began a decade ago when the accuser was just 11 years old. According to the complainant, who first came forward in March 2009, Bachman continued the assault for three years until she was 14.

The guitarist/singer, who reportedly works as a local real estate agent, turned himself into Abbotsford police on May 12, six days after a warrant for his arrest was issued. He has since been released on a promise to appear in court on July 5.

Bachman-Turner Overdrive sold more than 20 million albums worldwide on the strength of singles like 'You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet' and 'Takin' Care of Business.' Tim Bachman left the group in 1974, but rejoined for a 1984 reunion tour and tours in 1987 and 1988.

If you're jealous I'll be happy to abuse you for awile.

That really is sick. Damn washed up rock stars.

Didn't they open for Van Hagar on the 5150 tour?

[lesfunk]

It was Van Hagar 5150.

[Starwood]

Starwood has never seen Van Hagar. Maybe he's getting BTO mixed up with Grand Funk Railroad or some other old fart band. Fuck - now this is really bugging Starwood.

[lesfunk]

Starwood Has seen Van Hagar ! His mind has blocked it out!

Can you BLAME him? I'm still trying to block out that section of the 'Monsters of Rock' show in '88...:eek:

[lesfunk]

Lesfunk Thinks Starwood could use some therapy

[jhale667]

On a serious note, if that story about Bachman is true...eeeeeeewwwwwwwwww. 11? Sick.

[BITEYOASS]

Starwood Has seen Van Hagar ! His mind has blocked it out!

I don't blame him. Hell, I'm trying to block out all the times I heard Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" and so far I've forgotten most of the fuckin words.

[BITEYOASS]

BTO was the Nickleback of the 70's

[chefcraig]

BTO was the Nickleback of the 70's

Nah, the Captain & Tennille were the Nickelback of the 70s. Except C&T had talent.

[Big Troubles]

On a serious note, if that story about Bachman is true...eeeeeeewwwwwwwwww. 11? Sick.

nah...she was coming on to him...How was supposed to know she was eleven? all that booze and drugs over the yrs.. That statement will give him a fine. Maybe community service. Which he'll sing for. lol

Next year, the girl will be 16 and in most states 16 is legal. blah...

Savages the likes of Paul Bernardo/Karla Homolka and Cliffird Olson unfortunately never evolve. The death penalty would suit these convicted scumfucks just fine in my books.
Unfortunately the death penalty has proven it's purpose irrelevant due to the incompetency of the law/judicial system. There's too many wrongly convicted people behind bars as it is.

I would say he needs to go lookup Dave Holland, former Judas Priest drummer, but Dave only liked young boys.

I agree. Its the system, not the method that disturbs me. I have no faith in the governing bodies to determine who should or who shouldn't get to live today.

Thank God the Gov MP's acted quick yesterday denying any chance of parole again.
