Breaking News: 'Jerry Joseph' Sentenced to 3 Years!

On July 27, 2011, Haitian immigrant Guerdwich Montimere was convicted on three counts of Tampering with a Government Document and two counts of Sexual Assault on a Child and sentenced to three years in prison. He is currently serving his sentence at the Tulia unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in Swisher, Texas, and is eligible for parole in May 2012.

Montimere became famous under the assumed name of Jerry Joseph when he became a star player for the Permian High School basketball team, in Odessa, Texas. At that point, he was 22-years-old and posing as a 15-year-old sophomore, in the course of which he dated and had sex with at least one underage girl. His deception was discovered in May 2010 and he was arrested soon after and held in the Ector County, Texas, jail while awaiting trial.

Joseph/Montimere is all the subject of the chapter "Friday Night Lies" in Texas Confidential: Sex, Scandal, Murder, and Mayhem in the Lone Star State. See also "'Jerry Joseph' Jaws with GQ!"
