Reno Radio: Former KWYL Morning Host Jailed


Ron James, a former radio personality on KWYL Wild 102.9 FM has been sentenced to up to four years in prison.

James, whose real name is Amos Ayers, had pleaded guilty to sexually motivated coercion.

The Washoe County District Attorney's office confirmed Amos Ayers will have to register as a sex offender.

State law states coercion also has two key elements that include physical violence or threatening to hurt someone.

Ayers is also required to complete a psycho-sexual evaluation. He was taken into custody following his sentencing hearing on Thursday.

He would have to serve at least one year before he becomes eligible for parole.

Ayers was arrested in 2016 after an 18-year-old woman reported in June 2015 that she and Ayers attended an event one night with an acquaintance.

According to a statement, she had been drinking and the two went back to the suspect's office, where she said Ayers sexually assaulted her.
