Ex-Radio Prod. Facing Child Sex Crimes Kills Self
Steve Brancik, former radio producer for the "Paul and Young Ron" morning show on WBGG/Miami has been found dead in a Hollywood home.
Hollywood Police Lt. Manny Marino has confirmed that Brancik, 44, committed suicide Monday night in a home located in the 19-hundred block of Dewey Street.
In August of 2009, Brancik was arrested and charged with four counts of lewd or lascivious molestation involving a person 12 to 16 years old and one count of lewd and lascivious exhibition.
According to the Hollywood Police report, over the span of two years Brancik intentionally touched or kissed a boy on four separate occasions; the first incident allegedly occurred when the boy was only 12-years old. In one incident, Brancik allegedly put his hands down the boy's shorts, kissed him and attempted to put his tongue in the boy's mouth. Some of the incidents reportedly happened at Brancik's home, while others occurred in the boy's home in Deerfield Beach.
Following his arrest, Brancik was fired by the station's parent company Clear Channel Communications.
