Nick Catanese: Black Label Society Sex Offender [DARK MUSIC HISTORY]

  1. Nick Catanese: The Black Label Society Sex Offender

     

Nick Catanese was born June 2, 1971. He was the rhythm guitarist for Black Label Society until 2013. While in the band, he was nicknamed as, ‘The Evil Twin”, since he was able to keep up with bandmate Zakk Wylde. 

 

In January of 2018, he plead guilty to unlawful contact, corruption of minors and endangering the welfare of children in Pennsylvania. At the time, he was 46. Catanese was an instructor at the School of Rock Castle Shannon, and was caught sending sexually explicit messages to a 14 year old student over instagram. He requested nude pictures of the student, while also having sent pictures of his genitals, along with messages describing sex acts. Catanese’s username was ‘dreviltwin13’ on the app, of which the profile has since been deleted, or is at least unsearchable. 

 

An affidavit was issued after the School’s owner alerted the police. When the affidavit was issued, Catanese was already fired, as there had been an incident with another female student. Judge Donna Jo McDaniel sentenced Catanese to five years of probation, avoid contact with minors, have no access to computers with internet capabilities, and to register as a Megan’s law offender for 25 years. Megan’s law is a US federal law that requires people convicted of sex crimes against children to notify the local law enforcement of any changes in their address or employment.
