Back in 2015, former producer Joseph McMahon was shot to death outside his apartment, and that was the same year that star Tony Lara died of a cardiac arrest. Commonly regarded as one of the worlds most dangerous professions, the new season of the show ups the ante even further, by throwing a worldwide pandemic. The Deadliest Catch is a Discovery Channel series based on the exploits of Alaskan Crab Fishermen. It’s no secret that the Deadliest Catch franchise has been connected to quite a few unfortunate incidents over the years. In the history of Deadliest Catch’s cast members, Keith Anderson’s death is regarded to be one of the most tragic and haunting. Also, as part of his sentencing, Harris reportedly took part in a psychosexual exam. The future reality star reportedly pleaded to lesser charges - Assault 4 and immoral communication with a minor - and served nine months. Semen and blood stains were found at the scene at the time, and the girl was apparently quoted in the official affidavit referring to her and Harris' genitals as their "pee-pees."ĭue to DNA processing delays, Harris wasn’t formally arrested until 1999. The rape dates back to July 1998, when Harris would have been around 15 or 16. Josh Harris was accused of the digital, vaginal and oral rape of a four-year-old girl who was said to be the daughter of a deckhand and family friend.
