Just read a story on the province home page. Surrey adult caught fondling woman.

Could this possibly be Josh Boden?
Josh Boden in trouble again
Moderator: Team Captains
The ex-Lion Boden is turning 23 in December, and this may be why the report distinctly uses the perpetrators middle name as well. At least that is what I hope is the case. Plus I believe that he generally has resided in N Van.

This says same Boden.
I recall his ex-gf also turned up murdered last year. I'm not suggesting he did it, but he is never far from trouble, or people who are in trouble.

Sad reading that, but the Lions have moved on since Boden screwed up the first time, and he must have slowed down as he ran away and was caught. Stupid waste of talent, not even a 10 cent head to go with that ability.Tighthead wrote:http://www.winnipegsun.com/sports/footb ... 25741.html

Unfortunately, for every alleged trangression or police incident, the Lions' name gets tied into it. The Vancouver Sun has picked up the story:

VANCOUVER -- A former B.C. Lion has been charged with sexually assaulting a Vancouver woman near Commercial Drive and Broadway on Monday.
Vancouver Police say they arrested Joshua Joseph Boden as he allegedly groped a woman earlier this week at about 7:30 p.m., Const. Lindsey Houghton said Thursday.
The officers observed the incident and then attempted to detain Boden, who put up a struggle, Houghton said.
Boden is now charged with both sex assault and resisting arrest. He appeared in Vancouver Provincial Court Wednesday and was remanded in custody.
Vancouver Police also want to talk to a young woman who was sexually assaulted at a Burrard bus stop last week. Houghton said it is too soon to say whether the Burrard assault is linked to Boden or to a series of other recent sex assaults in the city.
A witness called police Sept. 3 after seeing a woman waiting for a bus in the 500-block of Burrard groped by a "muscular black man" who appeared to be about 25.
When police arrived the victim had gotten on the bus southbound and was not located, Houghton said.
"We would like nothing more than to charge someone for this crime," he said. But first, they have to find the victim, who was described as being in her early 20s, with blond hair.
The suspect description given by the witness matches the one released by Vancouver police last week linked to a series of assaults.
Boden, 22, was born in Vancouver and is a former B.C. Lions' wide receiver. He was released by the team after getting charged with domestic assault and robbery in April 2008. The charges were dropped on August 14, 2008.

A former B.C. Lions football player has been charged with sexual assault after an incident witnessed by police officers in Vancouver on Monday.
Police reported seeing a man fondling a woman and tried to arrest him. He ran away but was taken down after a violent struggle, police said.
Joshua Joseph Boden, 23, of Surrey, is charged with sexual assault, wilfully arresting or obstructing a peace officer and assaulting a police officer. Boden will remain in custody until his next court appearance Sept. 16, said Vancouver Const. Lindsey Houghton.
Boden was with the Lions as a wide receiver in the 2006-07 CFL season and played one game with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats last year.
Last year in Vancouver, Boden was charged with assault, theft and mischief but the charges were later dismissed.
"Everyone would agree it's an unfortunate situation," Jamie Cartmell, the B.C. Lions director of communications, said in an interview Thursday.

It's not as if though an ex-Lion has ever gotten trouble with the law before. Remember the 1998 CFL Most Outstanding Rookie, Steve Muhammad.

Such a waste of talent, that kid could have been a star, PJ took him under his wing, and he still couldn't get his *poop* together. It's reall sad. :(

It is a shame to see that even still this guy is in oodles of trouble when he had so much going for him.THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER -- A former B.C. Lions player has been charged with sexual assault after an incident witnessed by police officers in Vancouver on Labour Day.
Police say when officers saw a man fondling a woman and tried to arrest him, he ran away, but was taken down after a violent struggle.
Twenty-two-year-old Joshua Joseph Boden of Surrey is charged with sexual assault and obstructing and assaulting a police officer.
Police will not say if Boden is also a suspect in another sex assault in Vancouver last week in which a woman was attacked by a black man with a description similar to Boden's.
That man was said to be about 26 years old, five feet, 11 inches tall with a muscular build and wearing baggy cargo jean shorts, a black shirt and a black bandana.
Boden has been remanded in custody until Sept. 16.
He was with the Lions as a wide receiver in the 2006-07 CFL season and played one game with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats last year.
Had is the operative word. Think about it, he was extended an opportunity by Buono that in my terms went above the call for duty, had PJ mentoring him, and then he got involved with the bizarre incident with his g/f. Those charges were dropped and yet that wasn't enough to wake him up. Losing his CFL job with the Lions, then Tiger-cats, almost heading to court on severe charges, now finally this. Who knows what has happened in between.

Yep. I said "had" because at this point, there is a zero chance of him ever being given an opportunity by any team b/c of his continuance to get into trouble and showing extremely poor judgment. It boggles my mind that someone who is the same age as me could not see the bigger picture...Rammer wrote:Had is the operative word.

You read that once again Josh Boden is in trouble Thursday and you are only left to shake your head in sadness.
There will be an immediate rush to somehow connect a player who spent a bit of time with the Lions to the team, as if to somehow paint the club as a bastion of bad guys. We've had that debate on the sidelines at practice over the years and will leave it to others to carry the fight.
No, another Boden story recalls the tale told by Wally Buono, and how it was his hope he could one day impact a game like the one Sunday against the Montreal Alouettes by snaring three of the top B.C. football prospects he had even seen since his arrival from Alberta.
One of Buono's rituals upon settling in south Surrey in 2003 was to check out the the community teams in the area. It was during a stretch when getting to know the midget White Rock Titans when he saw the trio he thought would all one day excel in the CFL.
Boden, of course, was one, an exceptional talent all the way through junior ranks with the South Fraser Rams before he got his brief chance with the Lions as a territorial exemption.
Sean Whyte was the next, and Sunday he will get his latest chance to establish his career as a kicker with the Lions.
The third player was Doug Goldsby, a former Titans quarterback who later went to UBC. He had one reporter thinking about a nice little storyline that might have worked this weekend when he signed a free agent contract to play special teams earlier this year with the Alouettes, only to get injured a couple of weeks back. Then Boden went out and ruined everything, in more ways than one.

Josh Boden was trouble with a capital "T" long before the Lions ever saw him. In hindsight, it was foolish to think that they could ever bring him around. He is clearly a sociopath, and an increasingly violent one at that. Sad story...
