Sig’s Sexual Assault
Edgar’s brother Sig became embroiled in a sexual assault case of his own when his estranged daughter accused him of physical abuse. Reported by The Seattle Times, Melissa Eckstrom accused her estranged father of triggering depression, eating disorders, and suicidal thoughts after experiencing the sexual trauma during her childhood. Sig maintained his innocence throughout the trial by stating the accusations were an attempt from his ex-wife to “extort money from me” and ultimately turn his daughter against him.
