Jeffrey Jones got arrested for doing things with a kid and child porn.

He was in

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Amadeus

Beetlejuice

Sleepy Hollow

and many other movies.

ACK.

I really liked him.

You just never know do you?

 

[Goofyposter]

Wow!!...how sad....

 

[Serena]

That's awful!

What would make someone with such status do something like that. I guess he is only human but did he think he could get away with a sick act.

He is also Chairman Clinch (sp?) in the Alien attraction at the MK.

Let's just hold the phone and wait and see what comes out in the trial, shall we? From my quick research I've found that he's been charged with one count of sex with a 17 y/o minor (which, to me, isn't the same as sex with a child) and one count of having child pornography on his computer.

Now, if the law is stating that a 17 y/o is a minor, then it's possible that the "child pornography" is just as sketchy as their determination of what a minor is. IMO, this could be an extortion attempt of the minor ("Pay me X amount of dollars or I'll go to the police because I won't be 18 until next month"). The news I'm reading doesn't say rape of a minor, it just says sexual relations.

Let's hold onto our hats until we get more details. Otherwise it's just a witch-hunt.

I liked him too...

 

[disneygals]

Nope, there's a difference between sex with a child and a 17 year old, but if it was MY 17 year old, I wouldn't take it lightly.

GROSSSSSSSS. I liked him too. I hope this isn't true

 

[JAP]

I too am disappointed. He is a funny actor.

What a gross and despicable thing he is accused of. It will be difficult to ever watch Ferris Buehler again.

 

[Deb in IA]

And I thought you were talking about EROS, JTB . . .



This is very sad, actually. And although the generally accepted age for consent is 16, the fact that he also had kiddie porn on his computer doesn't sound good, does it?

 

[Jeff in BigD]

Do you have a link with the story?

 

[olena]

Hasn't he gotten into trouble for this before?

Here's a link: Story From Toronto Star

FWIW, here is the law for sexual age of consent in California:
