Jonathan Boyer (born October 8, 1955), nicknamed "Jock" and "Jacques", is an American former professional cyclist who, in 1981, became the first American to participate in the Tour de France. In November 2002, Boyer pled guilty to seven counts of child molestation and three counts of genital penetration of an underage girl. After his release from jail, Boyer resumed competitive racing and worked with charitable organizations in Africa.
