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 the charges and was sentenced to nine years in prison.
Remy Gonzalez was a pastry chef and brother-in-law to Buddy Valastro, the star of the reality TV show “Cake Boss,” which showcases the operations of Carlo’s Bakery in Hoboken, New Jersey. Remy appeared in several episodes of the show and was known for his cake decorating skills.
In August 2010, Gonzalez was arrested and charged with aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, and 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 gained significant media attention due to the popularity of the show and the serious nature of the allegations.
Following his arrest, Remy Gonzalez was held on a $300,000 bail. He eventually entered a plea agreement with the prosecutors. In 2011, he pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated sexual assault and was sentenced to nine years in state prison. As part of the plea deal, other charges were dropped.
The conviction required Gonzalez to register as a sex offender under Megan’s Law and to undergo parole supervision for life after his release from prison. His involvement in “Cake Boss” ended with his legal troubles, and the show continued without him. Buddy Valastro and the rest of the cast did not publicly discuss the matter in detail, likely due to the sensitive nature of the situation and legal considerations.
