1:33 PM PT -- TMZ Sports obtained court docs explaining the allegations ... and they're graphic and disturbing.

The accuser is a male family member who claims Wetteland engaged in oral sex with him on 3 separate occasions between 2004 and 2006 ... while he was a young child.

Wetteland has been booked for 1st degree felony continuous sex abuse of a child -- and if convicted, he faces up to LIFE in prison. John Wetteland -- the former closer for the New York Yankees -- was arrested in Denton County, Texas on Monday on suspicion of child sex abuse ... official records show.

Details surrounding the alleged incident are unclear -- but the charge specifies that the alleged victim is under the age of 14.

The 52-year-old right-hander was booked and posed for a mug shot. He was later released on $25,000 bond.

We're reaching out to law enforcement to find out more.

Wetteland was a star back in the day -- he was the MVP of the 1996 World Series, helping his Yankee squad defeat the Atlanta Braves. He posted all 4 saves for the Yanks during that series.

He was also a 3-time All Star during his 12-year MLB career ... during which he played for the Dodgers, Rangers and Expos.

During his Yankees career, Mariano Rivera was his set-up guy.

He later went to on to serve as a bullpen coach for the Washington Nationals.

Story developing ...

So someone accused him of something that happened 15 years ago today? Get the fukk out of here. You need to go to the police when the crime occured..not 15 years after.

[shadymcgrady]

if true he deserves a gruesome death

Not to mention the kid already got an autographed baseball.

maybe they caught him on tape admitting it, going to need some type of evidence

[Mac4Lyfe]

I have no clue what is going on with this case BUT my first reaction is always, WHY would this come out over a decade later? What proof do they have? Was it a he say, he say or is their concrete proof. Male, female, what have you, I think there should be a statue of limitations in most cases. Most people can't remember what happened last week, let alone many years ago. He might be a sick guy but you have to prove it and not just ruin a guy based on an accusation.

I have a cousin who was accused of raping his girlfriend of 6 months when he clearly did not. He was arrested while laying naked in bed with her asleep after having sex, when she called the police. She accused him because she was failing in school and she heard that the University would forgo her current grades and give her straight A's that semester due to rape. So, she planned an elaborate scheme to accuse him of rape. True story that basically ruined his life. He was finally found not guilty as her scheme was uncovered but he was never the same. Which is why I am usually very leery when I here claims with zero facts. Now maybe there's more to this story?

[pavyracer]

No one knows what happened. The thought that someone can go to the police as an adult 15 years after and say that this happened to him when he was younger is scary. Even if Wettland is found not guilty everyone will remember this story whether is true or not. You can't book someone based on an accusation, especially an accusation that you have no proof it happened agaist your will. If I was 14 years old and an adult asked me to suck his rooster I would have punched his balls..not wait 15 years to go to the police.

[The Giant]

Maybe he thought it was chewing tobacco??

Exactly... Even if you're 9 years old, you have to say something to your parents or another grown up and they have to take action right then, not 15 years later. It doesn't absolve the sick fuks but you cannot prosecute someone based on a recollection many years later. Hell, maybe they have a nanny cam or found pictures on his computer. Without concrete evidence, this is here say.

Sicko

[MinnesotaFats]

Sounds like extortion

Spoiled family member probably cash from Uncle John

How do you prove this allegation 15 years past?

How many times we see this crap get tossed lately? Half of Weinsteins accusers tossed out, Kavenaugh stuff tossed out, Cosby beat 1st trial....

IDK frankly i think something needs to be done to seal charges of this nature until a guilty verdict. He is ruined regardless of facts or trial.

[sourtwist]

Just the tip of the iceberg

Could you have a mod delete this please.

Just messing with you...there is a thread but it’s all good....bottom line if it is true..2 things...one fukk John and 2 why did the accuser wait 15 years??

[BigOrange]

I thought it was oral sex with a young boy? Did he molest a girl as well?

morino was taken at the time by his aunt

[pavyracer]

This does not make any sense. An 18 year man goes to the police and says when he was 3 years old his uncle exposed himself and he touched his pee pee.

Disgusting.

Are you trying to steal my molestation thread??????


I take great pride in them!!!

[MinnesotaFats]

u must be a defense attorney

HaHa... I got booted ftom Wm Mitchell Law School for running a book on campus!

But I look at motive.... what motivation does this person have to speak out years later?

Look at Weinstein- the gals come forward because they stop getting roles

Look at Wynn- the massage girl comes forward because Steve chooses younger girls now

Look at Sheen- the girls come out because he stops paying hush money

Look at Clinton- Lewinsky comes forward after she's moved out of the White House

What motivation exists here? What proof exists here?
