Mar 31 2008Rikki Rockett arrested for rape
Rikki Rockett, drummer for Poison, was arrested on rape charges for an incident that occurred in September at the Silver Star Casino in Mississippi. Rikki is out of jail and awaiting a district attorney's decision to see if the case will go before a grand jury. The AP reports:
"The subject, Rikki Rockett, forcibly had sex with an adult in one of the hotel rooms," according to a complaint.
Sciple said the woman contacted authorities several days after the alleged attack. He did not discuss details of the case, but said his office believed the woman's complaint warranted review by the district attorney.
Did Rikki do it? Oh yeah. I mean, look at the guy. Not exactly a pussy magnet. Also he's the drummer for Poison. He'd have better luck saying he still lives with his parents. It works for me. Okay, not really but, one day it will. As soon as my mom stops making me wear my retainer to the bar. I got a beer can stuck in it the other day for crying out loud. The ladies don't want to make out with a face full of Beast Ice. No matter how much chapstick you cover it up with. (Read: two tubes.)

Dude, Guitar Hero III is awesome.
5. boo - March 31, 2008 9:16 AM
God I hate guys like this. He's got to be in his 40's and he still dresses and acts like a 18 yr old asshole. He probably thinks women are grateful to have sex with him because he used to be a big "rock star"
6. toolboy - March 31, 2008 9:18 AM
Answer: Poison and Nirvana.
Question: Name the 2 things that killed hair metal.
Rikki is about to trade in his drums to play the slobbering blues on a meat whistle. Hopefully he'll ditch the Quacker Factory for aging rockers clothes line he's currently sporting first.

those idiots are still alive? i know that one of them has a vh1 show. ahaha "poison" is such a douche-y group. that faggoty album cover when all are in makeup is hilarious. fuck i wish they were all dead.
8. Fat Tabby - March 31, 2008 9:29 AM
Someone needs to tell him, Chris Angel and Billy bob Cyrus that flat-ironing your hair and douchebaggingly streaking it and making it all piecey doesn't make you cool or young :(
9. tim - March 31, 2008 9:31 AM
He's already gesturing that he's going to have 4 cocks up his ass soon.
10. Simon - March 31, 2008 9:35 AM
According to the FBI, at least a quarter of all rape accusations are false or mistaken. That's reason enough to wait for the little thing called a trial, if one occurs. Does anyone remember the Duke "rape" case?
11. Elliot_Spitz_On_Her - March 31, 2008 9:40 AM
I'm sure there's a VH1 show in here for him somewhere.
12. lipper - March 31, 2008 9:40 AM
Yeah but... this guy can't have THAT much money like the other celeb's who got the rape finger pointed at them. I mean, this guy CAN'T have that much to want to put yourself through all of that for. Who knows! But women have been known to cry rape and do it just for the fame and money. But Rikki? Who'd want the world to know that? Ugh.
13. Billy Hill - March 31, 2008 9:41 AM
This sucks dude, Poison was supposed to play at our county fair this summer.
14. nofuckingnameok? - March 31, 2008 9:45 AM
yeah like michael jackson the king of pop is a huge target but this no body...... is a rapist. i hope you get your ass ripped apart in your cell. and no they aint giving him a special celeb cell. bitch. you get to share it king kong john and his massive dick. die motherfuckr from anal bleeding. bitch.
15. The Most Beautiful Girl in The Universe - March 31, 2008 9:51 AM
Even if he is found innocent - just the accusation will haunt him for years.
The cost of the trial and the loss in bookings could be insurmountable
Surely this would not have been the first time - if he is in fact guilty
Better be careful who you trust... REAL careful!
16. rainyweather - March 31, 2008 10:00 AM
@ Simon: Maybe you could cite your source for the statistic of 25% of rape accusations being false or mistaken. Thanks.
17. lipper - March 31, 2008 10:06 AM
Here is some rape statistics, scary actually. If you are so interested to check them out.

19. MMB - March 31, 2008 10:19 AM
"Rape of Love" is gonna rule the VH1 lineup this summer, y'all!!!!!!!!!!!
I for one hope that Daisy bitch from "Rock of Love" shows up for a guest gang-rape/murder.

Dammmm she's as hot as the girls in hanson, I'd fuck her
21. Sloane - March 31, 2008 10:49 AM
@10 Simon:
What the hell does mistaken mean?? According to statistics over 1/2 of rapes go unreported .
22. grunion - March 31, 2008 11:30 AM
Every band has it's rapist...
just like every night has it's dawn...
23. gotmilk? - March 31, 2008 11:40 AM
how are they going to prove anything if she reported it days later. you can't exactly do a rape kit 4 days after the fact.
24. sicasso - March 31, 2008 11:46 AM
moron.
25. Auntie Kryst - March 31, 2008 11:53 AM
@23 Goddamnit Grunion that was funny. I was trying to think of a Posion lyric, you got it! "He's in for hard time. How can he desist??" Meh...sucks.
26. stephanie - March 31, 2008 1:25 PM
#23... hahahaha!!!! that's great.
27. blp - March 31, 2008 1:29 PM
@22 Sloane. If over 1/2 of rapes go unreported, how do we know 1/2 of rapes go unreported?
28. Grapevine - March 31, 2008 1:31 PM
Did you know that Rikki Rocket's real name is Richard Ream?
Really.
Dick Ream.
Is it any wonder he's up on a rape charge?
29. Harry Ballzack - March 31, 2008 1:52 PM
I have no doubt Ricky Ream HAD to forcefully get a piece. Who in their right (or truley media desperate) mind would willingly give it up to Ricky Ream ?
Hmm - Look What the Cat Dragged In !!! Gawd this band was a pile of shit. They're about as worthless as a dick on the pope !! " Glam Rock." That shit sucks as bad as disco music. Give me Cheap Trick or BOC - Ted Nugent - AC\DC, any time. I would buy a David Lee Roth CD before I would even TOUCH a "poison" CD. (that's NOT sayin I would buy a David Lee Roth CD either)
30. Grunion - March 31, 2008 2:32 PM
Auntie you know I do it all for you.
31. Randal - March 31, 2008 3:38 PM
Poison sucked back then, Poison still sucks.
There, I've joined the bitter and angry posters of this fine establishment of a website.
Randal
32. jesus - March 31, 2008 3:58 PM
You guys are missing the main point here. Did anybody read the AP story? His real name is Richard Reams. Dick Reams! I mean... c'mon... Why the hell would anybody change their name to Rikki Rocket when they were named DICK REAMS in the place?!?!?
33. Miss Thing - March 31, 2008 8:28 PM
Seriously...WTF with men and chapstick? It creeps me OUT when a dude takes one of those things and runs it over his lips while he's just standing there. It's got a very disturbing lipstick vibe.
34. Missystar - March 31, 2008 9:45 PM
Get a new look, asshole!
35. unicornzrawk - March 31, 2008 9:53 PM
Whoa if Randal says they suck they must really suck.
36. leaveme4dead - April 1, 2008 2:01 PM
I would so fuck this guy if I was a chick, then i'd take all his money, then come back on this page and laugh in all your faces.........bitches.....

"Every year since 1989, in about 25 percent of the
sexual assault cases referred to the FBI where
results could be obtained (primarily by State and
local law enforcement), the primary suspect has
been excluded by forensic DNA testing.
Specifically, FBI officials report that out of
roughly 10,000 sexual assault cases since 1989,
about 2,000 tests have been inconclusive (usually
insufficient high molecular weight DNA to do
testing), about 2,000 tests have excluded the
primary suspect, and about 6,000 have "matched" or
included the primary suspect.1 The fact that these
percentages have remained constant for 7 years, and
that the National Institute of Justice's informal
survey of private laboratories reveals a strikingly
similar 26-percent exclusion rate, strongly
suggests that postarrest and postconviction DNA
exonerations are tied to some strong, underlying
systemic problems that generate erroneous
accusations and convictions."

39. poisonfan - April 3, 2008 7:55 PM
First, what ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Second, worry not, writer of this article...rikki still does quite well...saw him in vegas and girls were all over him, and Third, I am not judging one way or another, as the truth can only be determined in court, but after having met him several times, I can say that he was super nice and respectful to his female fans and never once did I see him being inappropriate with any of them (even the groupies who were practically throwing themselves at him)...wait for the courts people, dont hang him just yet,.
40. QUEENPOISON - April 4, 2008 10:34 PM
I SUPPORT RIKKI. HE IS INNOCENT...HE HAS A FANCEE' HE IS A KIND MAN AND WOULDN'T HURT NOT ONE PERSON. STOP THIS BAD STUFF NOW. HE DOESN'T DESERVE THIS. BEST DAMN DRUMMER IN THE WORLD. AND HE LOVES PEOPLE. HE WOULD NEVER NEVER HURT A WOMAN. GET A CLUE HE IS A ROCK STAR AND HE IS A HANDSOME MAN YOU ALL NEED TO GROW UP...THIS ABOUT A MAN WHO IS BEING FRAMED ....
41. Howie Hubberman - April 4, 2008 11:07 PM
Rikki !00% innocent !! Don't even think Rikki Rockett as a man would resort to what he is accused of !! Not in a million years,,, Haters on this Site,GET A F'IN LIFE.... HOWIE HUBBERMAN
42. matt 432 - April 5, 2008 7:05 PM
i live in mississippi and i see what these hoes do. the guys automatically innocent.
43. Karen - April 7, 2008 12:25 AM
I can't wait to see who this chick is. There is no way Rikki would rape someone.. ever! This is total bullshit!
Ya'll will see someday when the details come out. We love you Rikki, we know it's not true!!
44. David J. Travers - April 14, 2008 12:59 AM
Stop all these tasteless jokes! You haters are so pathetic that you all have so much time to post hate about someone. I've met Rikki and he is a super nice person. If you've seen him interviewed, you would have seen that. He has a very loving and beautiful fiancee in Melanie Martel. His band, Poison, he co-founded, is super-successful, and are his best friends... he has so much going for him, and is so nice, why would he throw it all away? Oh yeah, he DIDN'T throw it away! Justice will prove him innocent, and will prove you assholes wrong.
Yes, "they're still alive", and coming to a town near you! Where's your favorite band these days?
F' the haters!!!
45. Kelien - April 18, 2008 6:36 PM
Yeah and I guess, White Snake, Def Lepard, and Skid Row all sucked too huh? All you idiots out there saying they sucked, owned every album and just can't admit it now because its not the "cool" thing to do. Ill admit I liked them. I owned every album. Ill go one step further and say my life was such hell when Look what the cat dragged in came out, that if it hadn't of been for I won't forget you and Cry Tough, I would have killed myself. Would I sleep with Ricki? If I wasn't married with children now, hell ya. Personally, I was fonder of C.C's Chaotic nature, and Bobby's dark hair, and quietness. Bret tended to be to pretend to be to full of himself. But, Yeah I would have done any of them.
I don't believe for one instant that Ricki is guilty. What is sad is all of you pathatic losers who bash other people simply because you are no talent hacks that only wish you could sound half as good or have half the success. Its no wonder some of you still live at home with Momma. No respectable woman would have you. You could learn some lessons from poision because there isn't a woman I know that listened to hair bands that wouldn't have sex with them, willingly and for free. I seriously doubt the guys bashing them can say the same. Knowing the kind of people you seem to be, you couldn't even pay someone to touch you.
46. dallas - April 18, 2008 9:54 PM
How dare you idiots say this kind of shit! Do you HONESTLY think that someone like Richard Allan Ream (aka Rikki Rockett) HAS to RAPE someone? Obviously, you guys have never truly been backstage at a rock show....Poor back woods Mississippi girl wants some money after she got shit housed and acted a fool...hubby at home wondered why she never showed up after the big night at the casino....hmmmmm...we call 'em "bus girls" down here in Mississippi.........get fucked up and fucked in the ass and feel bad about it in the morning........oh well, fuck off! that's rock and roll for ya! Callin' a rock star out for something like that is sheer blaspemous to rock n roll........that "guy like that" that so many of you guys want to see in jail has made many a person's dreams come true over many many years.....not the first time some DUMB BITCH wanted to get a piece of the pie...I'M SURE!!! Maybe its the chicks "LIKE THAT" that deserve bottles up their asses for acting like whores? Ever thought of it that way? LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!RockWithFire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
