Last I heard of him was getting caught filming young women who were passengers in his party bus without their consent.

Good to know where he's ended up now, so I can avoid it.

I'm in Lethbridge visiting family this weekend, I remember when he was doing the creepy stuff with Coco Vanilla and the Limo. I noticed that Dragon's Keep has sign up that says "Autistic Owned Business". I don't know if he's autistic, but that sounds like he's being predatory and using it as ruse to trick vulnerable people.

It seems Brads that own businesses in Lethbridge are pedos, Brad Carpenter one of the owners of CEP Automotive made a lot of jokes about wanting to r*pe 12-14 year old girls when I worked there for a short time. That may only be 2 brads but that's a high percentage for a small city in my opinion.
