2 On Your Side: Canceled Concert

RICK: POLICE ARE TREATING THIS
AS A TERROR ATTACK AND THEY'RE
WAY MORE AHEAD ON "CBS 2 NEWS"
AT 6.
PAT: EVERY GENERATION HAS THEIR
TEEN IDOLS.
ONE RIVERSIDE TEAM HAS LEARNED
THE HARD WAY THE BOY SHE WAS
CRUSHING ON NEVER DELIVERED ON A
PLANNED CONCERT AND NO REFUND.
JEFF: IN TONIGHT'S "2 ON YOUR
SIDE" CHRISTINE FINDS OUT THE
TEEN ACCUSED OF STEALING FROM
FANS IS ABOUT TO GO TO JAIL FOR
FAR WORSE.
REPORTER: AT FIRST I THOUGHT I
HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS KID THAT
I REALIZE WE REPORTED ON HIM TWO
YEARS AGO.
THE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER
CONTACTED "2 ON YOUR SIDE" AFTER
THEY PAID FOR CONCERT WITH THE
YOUTUBE STARWOODS NEVER HAPPEN
THAN WE REALIZE WE HAD REPORTED
ON STEVEN FERNANDEZ BEFORE FOR
SOME VERY SERIOUS CHARGES.
HE'S GARTH
JAVY RAMIREZ AND HER
REACHED OUT TO "2 ON YOUR SIDE"
AFTER THEY PURCHASED 200-DOLLAR
VIP TICKETS TO SEE A YOUTUBE
STAR IN CONCERT IN AND THE EVENT
WAS CANCELED WITHOUT A REFUND.
I THINK EVERYBODY SHOULD GET
THEIR MONEY BACK.
REPORTER: WITH THE PARENT DIDN'T
REALIZE WAS THE STAR OF THE SHOW
WAS UNDER COURT ORDER TO STAY
AWAY FROM TEENAGE FANS.
HE CAME OUT WITH MUSIC.
REPORTER: BACK IN 2015 THEN
15-YEAR-OLD STEVEN FERNANDEZ WHO
WENT BY THE NAME OF BABY WAS
ARRESTED.
HE'S ACCUSED OF USING MEET AND
GREET ACROSS THE SOUTHLAND TO
COAX UNDERAGE GIRLS TO PERFORM
SEX ACTS ON HIM HIS 22-YEAR-OLD
MANAGER AND A FELLOW SKATER WHO
WAS 27.
RAMIREZ SAID SHE HEARD RUMORS OF
THE CHARGES BUT DIDN'T BELIEVE
THEM SO SHE BEGGED HER MOM TO
TAKE HER TO A MEET AND GREET IN
NOVEMBER OR SHE SNAPPED THESE
PHOTOS WITH FERNANDEZ.
WE WAITED FOR LIKE TWO HOURS.
WE JUST WANTED TO MEET HIM.
REPORTER: A FEW MONTHS LATER THE
EIGHTH-GRADER ASKED HER MOM TO
TAKE HER TO A CONCERT FERNANDEZ
WAS ADVERTISING ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
HE BILLED IT AS STORM LANDED
SAID IT WAS TO BE HELD AT THE
PICO RIVERA SPORTS ARENA.
THIS IS A PROMOTIONAL VIDEO
HE POSTED TO HIS YOUTUBE
CHANNEL.
THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A
CONCERT OF MEETING GREAT AND A
CARNIVAL.
REPORTER: THE DAY BEFORE
FERNANDEZ CANCELED BECAUSE OF
RAIN AND THEN RESCHEDULING
CANCELED AGAIN.
YOU DID THE A LOT OF HER HOPE
SO.
MONTHS HAD PASSED AND THE PAIR
SAY THERE HAS BEEN NO TALK OF A
CONCERT OR A REFUND.
I TRIED TO INSTAGRAM AND
MESSAGE HIM.
WE WANT A REFUND AND NO
RESPONSE.
REPORTER: ON HIS INSTAGRAM AND
TWITTER ACCOUNT THERE WERE
HUNDREDS OF MESSAGES FROM FANS
ASKING FOR THEIR MONEY BACK.
THERE WERE GIRLS COMING FROM
OUT OF STATE THING FOR PLANE
TICKETS, HOTELS.
THEIR PARENTS TOOK OFF WORK TO
BRING THEM.
REPORTER: THE PICO RIVERA SPORTS
ARENA HAS NO RECORD OF FERNANDEZ
RESERVING THE VENUE FOR HIS
CONCERT ON ANY DATE IN 2017.
THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD
OF HIM.
TWO ON YOUR SITE TALK TO THE
LAPD AND THEY SAID THE JUDGE
ORDERED FERNANDEZ MORE THAN A
YEAR AGO TO NOT DO ANY MEET AND
GREETS BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THEY
SAY HE SOUGHT OUT HIS VICTIMS.
HE WAS ORDERED TO STOP SELLING
MERCHANDISE ON LINE.
RAMIREZ ORDERED T-SHIRTS BUT SHE
NEVER RECEIVED THOSE EITHER AND
THE WEB SITE SELLING THEM HAS
BEEN SHUT DOWN.
"2 ON YOUR SIDE" CALLED AND
E-MAILED FERNANDEZ HIGH-PROFILE
ATTORNEY MARK GERAGOS BUT HE
NEVER RESPONDED.
THE DAs OFFICE DID AND WE PASS
ALONG THE INFORMATION MAY BE IN
VIOLATION OF A COURT ORDER.
ALL THREE DEFENDANTS WILL BE
GOING TO TRIAL SOON.
WE TRIED TO GET THEIR MONEY BACK
THAT IT'S HARD TO GET AHOLD OF
THEM BECAUSE HE IS A JUVENILE.
AT THIS POINT THEY ARE HAPPY
THEY DIDN'T GO TO THE CONCERT
KNOWING WHAT THEY KNOW NOW.
IT'S A GOOD REMINDER TO REALLY
GOOGLE THESE IDOLS THAT KIDS ARE
GOING TO TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE
GOOD PEOPLE.
PAT: I CAN JUST SEE BEING ASKED
CAN YOU TAKE ME TO THE
CONCERT.
REPORTER: BABY.
PAT:
YOU?
