'Kissed her on the lips, touched her vagina and had her touch his penis,' admits Deadliest Catch co-star Edgar Hansen to sexually abusing teen girl

'Deadliest Catch' costar Edgar Hansen admitted sexually abusing a 16-year-old girl last fall on Friday. He admitted touching her genitals and making her touch him in return.

In exchange for his plea to fourth-degree assault with sexual motivation, he was given a suspended sentence of 364 days in jail.

According to court records, he also received two years’ probation and various fees and fines totaling $1,653, with an additional $4,800 fine suspended.

He was also ordered to undergo a sexual deviancy evaluation and treatment and provide a DNA sample to law enforcement.

The prosecuting attorney’s office agreed not to pursue any charges that may arise in the future in connection with the case, which was first reported on by the Seattle Times.

In a brief handwritten statement accompanying his guilty plea, Hansen acknowledged “touching [the victim’s] private areas … for the purpose of my own sexual gratification.”

According to the victim, Hansen “kissed her on the lips, touched her vagina and had her touch his penis,” prosecutors stated in a probable cause affidavit.

Investigators spoke with Hansen’s wife, who said she “confronted him” after learning of the abuse, the affidavit shows. He “initially denied” it but “eventually admitted that he kissed [the victim] and touched her inappropriately.”
