Editing James Stacy (section)

===Sex crimes===
Five years after his retirement, the ''Los Angeles Times'' reported that an 11-year-old acquaintance of Stacy had accused him of inviting her to his house for a swim and touching her genitals. Stacy was charged with having molested a child and was released on bail.

However, during his release Stacy was accused of "prowling" the neighbourhood looking for children to molest. When a family with two underage girls moved in next door, the wheelchair-bound Stacy loitered outside their house and drunkenly yelled into their door, “Come talk to me, I know you’re in there!”, for which he was arrested but not charged. Just a week later, Stacy began harassing a ten-year-old girl in her mother's backyard. He was arrested again and diagnosed as a [[pedophilia|pedophile]] by a psychiatrist. Shortly after, Stacy entered a no contest plea.

Rather than attend his sentencing, Stacy fled the state and surfaced in Hawaii. He attempted suicide by jumping off a cliff, only to survive and get arrested at the hospital. Stacy willingly returned to California rather than be extradited, and was sentenced to six years in prison. Ironically, the prosecutor said that if Stacy hadn't run he would likely have only got probation. He served out his prison time quietly at the California Institution for Men at Chino. Upon his release, Stacy spent the remainder of his days in obscurity.

On Sept. 9, 2016, James Stacy died after going into anaphylactic shock due to receiving antibiotics, according to his fiancée Antigoni Tsamparlis. He was 79 years old.
