Dancing Boy Blind Item

On the d/l right now but guess who messaged me privately on twitter to express interest in my acting-related overture?

I suppose you already know but a certain former child actor whose abuser still enjoys a successful career in making horror movies. Also, and on the forever d/l, I first wrote him at like 5am, and promptly fell back asleep, during which time I had a dream of sorts (yes, *that* kind).

‘Jeepers Creepers 3’ Director Victor Salva, Convicted Child Molester, Wrote Child Molestation Into New Film

A mention of child molestation in “Jeepers Creepers 3” is drawing revulsion because the film’s writer and director, Victor Salva, was convicted of child molestation in 1988.

The 59-year-old filmmaker was convicted in the molestation of Nathan Forrest Winters, an actor in his film “Clownhouse,” who was 12 at the time. Salva was also convicted of videotaping the sex act and of possessing commercial videotapes and child porn magazines. He served 15 months out of his three-year sentence.

According to IndieWire, the third installment of the “Jeepers Creepers” franchise does not depict any child molestation, but does include a scene in which two characters discuss why a teenager named Addison (Gabrielle Haugh) no longer lives with her stepfather.

“Can you blame him though? I mean look at her,” one character says, according to a review of the film by IGN’s Adam Dileo. “The heart wants what it wants, am I right?”

Dileo later said the line was removed for the theatrical cut of the film, but was included in a screener sent to critics. The film has been shown in a theater only once. – Source
