Parker McCollum is not waiting on a trial.<\/p>\n

According to multiple reports, the 33-year-old country music star immediately axed his stage manager, Joel Schoepf, who was recently arrested following an interaction with a popular child sex predator catching group.<\/p>\n

Schoepf was taken into custody in New Braunfels, Texas on Nov. 13, and was charged with a second-degree felony of online solicitation of a minor under the age of 14.<\/p>\n

According to Whiskey Riff<\/b><\/a>, McCollum immediately cut ties with Schoepf, who had been serving as his stage manager since 2023. The singer has not offered a public comment.<\/p>\n

Whiskey Riff also reported that Schoepf was arrested as part of a sting by Alex Rosen, a former college football player turned child sex predator catcher, who has a massive following on social media as well as YouTube and Locals. <\/p>\n

Rosen shared a video on X on Nov. 13 of Schoepf being put into handcuffs. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a predator,\u201d Rosen said as Schoepf was being loaded into a police vehicle behind him. \u201cWe caught him off Reddit. He was into babies and toddlers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rosen claimed that Schoepf came to meet a 13-year-old boy.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is getting what he deserves right now,\u201d Rosen said. <\/p>\n

You can see the video here<\/b><\/a> but beware that it includes extreme adult language and sexual descriptions. <\/p>\n

Schoepf was reportedly released on $50,000 bond on Nov. 14. He has not yet been convicted of a crime. <\/p>\n

Whiskey Riff said Schoepf\u2019s LinkedIn shows that he has a \u201clong history of working in the country music industry in Texas.\u201d The outlet said that Schoepf also worked as a guitar tech for Cross Canadian Ragweed from 2006 through 2010, was touring manager for Cody Canada and the Departed for two years, and a tour manager for Reckless Kelly from 2020 through 2022. <\/p>\n

Whiskey Riff said that Schoepf has also served as a production manager for Willie Nelson\u2019s Luck Reunion since 2012. <\/p>\n

The outlet said that Schoepf\u2019s most recent country music gig came as a guitar tech for McCollum starting in 2021 and that he had been a stage manager for the singer since 2023. <\/p>\n
