Former country music radio DJ Justin Barrett Frazell has been indicted by a Tarrant County grand jury on a sexual assault charge.
The former KFWR 'The Ranch' morning show host was arrested on charges of sexually assaulting a teenager during a New Years Eve party at his home in Mansfield. He was fired from the station shortly after his arrest. The station is owned by the LKCM Radio Group.
In April, Frazell was arrested again in Denton County on a charge of indecent assault, a misdemeanor. He was released on $2,500 bail.
In the Denton County case, reports say a woman told a deputy that she was at the Lucky Spur Ranch Retreat in Justin for an event which was being hosted by Frazell when the incident happened. Her statement was in a warrant.
Frazell began his radio career in 2000 and has hosted the morning show at KFWR-FM, 95.9 The Ranch, since 2009. A nominee for entry into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame, Frazell has also hosted a popular show on Sundays, the award-winning Texas Red Dirt Roads Radio Show. Before working at KFWR, he also worked at 570 KLIF-AM and KPLX-FM, 99.5 The Wolf, as reported by NBCDFW.
A trial is pending in the case.
