NEW: Lawyer Says DePetro is ‘Completely Innocent’

Friday, August 10, 2012

 

The lawyer for WPRO talk show host John DePetro says his client is “completely innocent.”

WPRO content producer Dee DeQuattro filed suit today against DePetro, Cumulus Media, Citadel Broadcasting, DeQuattro's supervisor Barbara Haynes and lawyer Nicole Waller, claiming the popular talk show host sexually harassed her and the station failed to address it.

“John DePetro is completely innocent,” said Tim Dodd, DePetro’s lawyer. “He is not a party to any misconduct and the allegations made against are false. He expects be complete exonerated. I would further say John will not respond point by point to the allegations being made against him. The allegations are patently false and we will not give them credence by further discussing them.”

The suit claims that on May 21, DePetro invited DeQuattro to lunch before driving to a Barrington house and making sexual advances.

DeQuattro’s lawyer did not wish to comment.

This is the picture of a midlife crisis.

DePetro is the scumbag he tries to make everyone else out to be on his shows for the sake of ratings.

Great comment from a guy on Projo!

He is a routine liar, got fired in Boston for bigotry, cheated on his show's ratings, and now an alleged sexual harasser, what is next?! Corporate should fire this jerk. If not, I hope this poor woman sues their butt off!

DePetro's sponsors should be ASHAMED if they continue to SUPPORT this self-righteous creep!

I will no longer be going to see my salesman Aaron @ the East Providence location.

Jay Mmmm

@Jason also vote against anyone running for office that goes on his show. Time to show the bully, what bullying is.

Jay Mmmm

@ Tom Brady remove the word midlife.

LOL, I agree with your sentiments, I will definitely avoid using sponsors of most wpro shows.

Surely, some of the posters must be familiar with that boring old silly notion, 'presumed innocent'?

To Mr. DePetro -

Maybe you did it. Maybe you didn't. Hopefully, a straight trial - if it even gets that far which ninety five percent of court actions don't - will tell the truth.

But Judicial Terrorism, the misuse of courts to shakedown others to conceal one's own culpability and ineptitude, is today considered a parlor sport. It isn't, nor is it another tiresome 'game'. Many of us take it for what it is, combat. In combat, the weakling signals that he's a weakling by firing the first shot, often by filing some frivolous lawsuit. The weakling who fires the first shot often loses to the righteously indignant defendant, who proves his innocence.

Some predators with law degrees are adequate, they file suits on behalf of nuisance litigants and legit plaintiffs alike. Other predators with law degrees, such as Zecchino Estate Grift 'mastermind', Girard R. Visconti, are inadequate. Stinking of fear, they exist in a dim, smelly little world of terror and greed. They enlist 'proxy stooge law firms' to do their dirty work for them.

No matter. Truth, as does murder, outs - always. If the plaintiff in your case is legit, it'll come out regardless of the vagaries of the courts - the courts being about law after all and seldom about truth.

If the plaintiff in your case is just another tiresome fourflusher in search of a payday, that too will come to public light.

The Net allows lies no place of concealment. The old media is finished, suffocated by its own self-serving leftist rat lies.

The Net is the media. And it tells the truth, along with Talk Radio.

@Jason any other businesses that support him with advertising? This guy is a piece of work. We need to let these businesses know that they need to stop sponsoring him.

Mr Depetro:
When faced with allegations of sexual harassment conservatives like Bill Oreilly, Sean Hannity, Clarence Thomas, Newt Gingrich, Bob Barr and the "alleged" rapist Buddy Cianci opened their wallets, and paid to make the problem go away !

May I suggest that you do the same

I've battled with Depetro for a couple years now, because I've always felt he was a scumbag, trying to create contraversy. I always change the station when he comes on.
I know that allegations, don't make him guilty. However, I am NOT surprised, and wouldn't be surprised if he was found guilty.

I've always hated this scumbag. Now he needs to be OFF THE AIR!!!!

@ Pearl anyone looking to get elected this year that shows up or calls in. Send them a loud and clear message on election day. Who ever does report in on blogs for everyone to see. Starting Monday.

He can't blame his wife for this one!

Dextrous DePetro Strikes Again! He loves his nicknames, who has some good ones for him?

Depetro Is certainly, "A SPECIAL KIND OF SENTINEL!"

I will not buy from his sponors until he is history!

SCUMBAG DEPETRO, You are the biggest loser, lowlife, degenerate. I am celebrating your downfall. Your scum of a sister is a piece of garbage just like you. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

paul zecchino

Anyone can sue anybody for anything. Prevailing is another matter.

Lawsuits are combat by other means. In combat, the weakling is the one who fires the first shot, and who more often than not loses.

Jason Demers

@Jay Mmmm

I agree.

DePetro is a scumbag and an ultra-conservative whose irea of compromise is "my way or the highway!" So, if "DePorno" endorses someone running for office, look out!

No one is completely innocent. Where is the dead end street in Barrington?
