Brian Giles was caught on surveillance video allegedly pulling the hair of his ex-girlfriend and knocking her to the ground. That's definitely Giles. I'd recognize him anywhere. He's so screwed.

The video allegedly shows Brian Giles walking into a bar in Arizona, approaching his ex-girlfriend pulling her hair and then walking out through curtains at the bar exit. You can then see the ex-girlfriend falling to the ground though the opening in the curtains. Later a bar patron is seen acting out the violent act while describing it to others.

NBC San Diego 7/39:

Olvera claims that in 2002, Giles beat her while she was pregnant with his baby. Olvera later miscarried. Goldstein said Olvera doesn't blame Giles for that miscarriage, but he said she does blame Giles for another miscarriage. He said that earlier this year, she became pregnant again with Giles' baby. According to Goldstein, Olvera lost the baby after Giles allegedly threw her down a hallway.

Brian Giles' current girlfriend Chanel St. James (google at your own risk) has also been caught on tape entertaining adult men.

Oh SNAP

The Court of Public Opinion has just rolled in and has found Brian Giles guilty as charged.

I don’t know if that holds up in court, but seriously, CoPO knows its stuff.

That picture

of Giles couldn’t look any sadder. Total sad sack in that pic, almost like the picture is reacting to the news story.

I wonder if he beat her because she wasn’t tan enough?

I hope they throw the book at him..but we all know it’s not gonna happen.

Don't hate the game, hate the nerds!

So you think he's guilty because of his skin color?

its a civil suit

no criminal acts have to be prove, and beyond a reasonable doubt is not in play either.

That ain't good

I was wondering when the smoking gun would make its appearance.

I’m interested to see if she’ll get paid. Her defense seems to be they carried out a marriage-like relationship and acting like a married couple doesn’t grant you marriage rights. Hi, Prop 8 anyone?

Marvin v. Marvin, It's a 1976 California Supreme Court Case from some actor

It’s called a Marvin Action, although its usually really hard to prove.

“California law recognizes non-marital relationship contracts. These contracts may be express or implied, oral or written—but they must be provable in any case. The contract may also provide for a sexual relationship as long as it is not a contract for sexual services.”

You have to prove that there was some contract, usually you have to have third party witnesses who can confirm it.

Oh, California

You and your gold-digger legislation…

New team rule: No consorting with the women-folk. This goes for all of you: Ownership to outfield.

whoo boy

This will make me de-lurk! Checking my sources who know the ex-wife, but I only remember allegations of cheating from her, not abuse and I was initially thinking this current case was one of gold digging..but the video? So screwed.

Pretty sure the “cheating” was part of the arrangement.

I was thinking of the most recent girlfriend when I typed that. I miss my ability to delete comments when I comment here.

"That's definitely Giles. I'd recognize him anywhere."

From my view point it’s hard to tell whether or not that is Giles.

1. The Video is black and white…how are we supposed to know how tan this guy is?
2. The guy is wearing clothes…umm now when has Giles been known to wear clothes?
3. I see no Padres logo anywhere on him….I mean he does play for the Padres right?

The way I see it case closed.

NOTE SDPads_1 does no way endorse nor condone the beating or abusing women in any way. If this does turn out to be true then Giles should have the worst thing ever happen to his baseball career…..trade him to either Washington (26 consecutive seasons without a playoff appearance), KC (22 seasons) or Pittsburgh (15 seasons). Or they could always send him to the worst city ever…..DETROIT……
