Remy Gonzalez, a former cast member of “Cake Boss,” was arrested in 2010 on charges of sexual assault involving a minor. He later pleaded guilty to lesser charges and was sentenced to nine years in prison.
Remy Gonzalez, a pastry chef and brother-in-law to Buddy Valastro, the star of the reality TV show “Cake Boss,” faced serious legal issues in 2010. He was arrested and charged with first-degree aggravated sexual assault, second-degree sexual assault, and third-degree endangering the welfare of a child. The charges stemmed from allegations that he had sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl in New Jersey.
The case proceeded through the legal system, and in 2011, Gonzalez accepted a plea deal. He pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated sexual assault, which were downgraded to third-degree charges. As part of the plea agreement, the first-degree charges were dropped, and he was not required to stand trial.
Gonzalez was subsequently sentenced to nine years in state prison and was required to register as a sex offender under Megan’s Law. He was also subject to parole supervision for life after his release. The conviction and imprisonment led to his departure from the show and the family’s business, Carlo’s Bakery. The situation was a difficult one for the Valastro family, who expressed their distress and support for the victim in the case. Remy Gonzalez’s legal troubles significantly impacted his career and personal life, and he has largely remained out of the public eye following his release from prison.
