Blind Item #9 - Gross Negligence - Mr. Hedge
This pedophile committed horrible, multiple criminal acts upon a child at a relatively young age, over a period of years. The details of how the whole sickening story played out were simply almost too incredible to believe. This led to the case attracting national attention. Sadly, the system completely failed his victim, as the abuse should have been stopped much, much earlier.
Despite all of the foregoing, this pedophile somehow only spent a handful of years in prison. He was a registered sex offender. Just a short couple of years after his release, he moved to Hollywood, where he also registered as a sex offender with authorities in his new state of residence.
Incredibly, this pedophile began working in casting in Hollywood, often with children. He found himself a great deal of work over the next several years, even casting work for a couple films you would all know.
Several years ago, this pedophile was working on a fairly big-budget film.
This film touted an A-list director. This director first made it big in television, and later moved into film. Just a couple years earlier, this director’s career was launched into the big-leagues, when he directed an important film, for one of Hollywood’s most storied franchises.
Everyone who employed the pedophile claimed to have been fooled by an alias.
The A-list director claims that once he was informed of this pedophile being employed casting children on his film - that he took immediate action and notified the authorities.
However, the pedophile didn’t really use an alias to fool the studio and director, as they had claimed.
The pedophile was charged with having used an alias, which is a criminal act for any registered sex offender. When the case went to court, the judge ruled that every Hollywood employer of this pedophile knew his full and legal name. The pedophile walked out of court free.
So everyone in Hollywood either never bothered to Google the guy, or knew and didn’t care.

Not sure why this is a blind as it was reported back in 2011.
ReplyDeleteYeah I thought McG for director but Dena got it

ReplyDeleteFive years for kidnapping and molestation of an 8 year old boy? JFC.
ReplyDeletewhy is this a blind item tho? Just wanted to remind us that this happened?
ReplyDeleteI am glad we have this blind, as I did not know it. The point is, Abrams et.al. managed to skip out of responsibility by claiming they were lied to and mislead when in fact they were not. Yes, gross negligence.

The guy just left his last name off used his middle name as last name
ReplyDeleteAnd the inside joke is Abrams made it big on the TV show ‘Alias’?
"Super 8" noted for its similarity to Spielberg films. So many young boys!
ReplyDeleteAre Mr Hedge blinds *ever* something that's not openly in the news?
ReplyDeleteYes, pretty sure we just needed a reminder that these people knew.
ReplyDeleteJJ Abrams was probably in on it. No one in Hollywood has clean hands.
ReplyDelete@Thonker & Dena I think some of these obvious blinds are put out so the public is warned. People tend to forget things. A lot of the blinds I read are easily solvable because I remember reading the stories in tabloids or from watching A Current Affair, Hard Copy, & Hollywood Babylon.
Perhaps for the people who knew it was a case of glass houses, yuck.
ReplyDeleteJJ Abrams really looks a lot like Spielberg. I mean REALLY.... Father and son...?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about this one. I'm sure it's news to many who have started to pay attention to Hollywood only in the last couple years when it became obvious how bad it really is, so some catching up doesn't hurt.
ReplyDeleteNot Gay Gay Abrams! IS ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SACRED?
ReplyDeleteAbrams.
ReplyDeleteSpielberg protege.
Any questions?
You can't figure out why pedo's get off completely or very lightly again and again by the 'justice' system.
Think.
Does noone require police checks and working with children clearance over there? In Australia anyone who will work remotely close to children needs both.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, how can these two not be related!? https://www.cinemablend.com/new/Steven-Spielberg-J-J-Abrams-Teaming-Up-Sci-Fi-Project-18336.html
ReplyDelete@ Normal Joss Whedon was the first one that I thought of. He used to work in televison decades ago. Another Fake Male Feminist & Pompous Ass just like Rob Reiner.
ReplyDeleteHe cast School of ROck by Richard Linklater, saddened
ReplyDeleteGiving these pedos a modicum of security by not being named is getting really old. Name them or dont put them in at all. Sick of these people never having to answer for these crimes. Remember when we thought old creepy Dan’s time was up? Yeah, looks like that isnt going anywhere now.
ReplyDeleteThis Jason James Murphy character had my son's name in his notebook!! He went to my sister to get his haircut and she had my son's photo at her station. He told her he was casting and that my son, who was 6 at the time should come in for an audition. She told me about it in front of my son who was so excited. I did not/do not want him in the industry, my husband works as a film editor and he complety agrees. However, my son was so wanting this and I thought and audition would be ok, did not think there wold be anyway he would have a chance. This guy was so into my son, came out after the action and said how great he was and that he had a couple of agents he was sure would be interested, blah, blah, blah. Told my son to look at this as an interesting experience to tell your kids about one day but never called any agent. Then down the road...got a one call asking if we new this guy.
ReplyDeleteIf Spielberg is evil and then JJ Abrams is evil, what does it say about all those people who work with them and the studios who support them? It is all one giant network of depravity with M.A.D. on all fronts?
ReplyDeletePeople tried to cast or rep my boys repeatedly. I never let them do anything more than extra, with one or both of us there the whole time. So they had the experience and fun and have a bit of face time in a big tv series and a couple of major features. No way I'm letting my kid act/model/audition for anything anytime.
ReplyDeleteTurned down principal roles, $1k a day modeling gigs, whatever. Doesn't matter. Would you let your kid swim in a cesspool?
Nope! My son wanted to model, noticed he was being "courted" by some Instagram "stars". Deleted that account, explained over my dead body would I let him "Go to New York, to hang out for Fashion Week". Totally serious. Dam creeps.

ReplyDeleteI would like to comment as a sexual abuse victim of the 50+ year old Father of a foreign z-list (back in the mid 1980s) journalist when I was 11. His son went on to become an A+ list Editor for a foreign news franchise (now defunct) and former imprisoned press PR rep for a former A++ list foreign spokesman.
ReplyDeleteThis present paedophile witch hunt does nothing for victims unless perpetrators are revealed. It simply Triggers a whole lot of buried terribleness.

ReplyDeleteA little harsh to blame Abrams when it was apparently hime and his manager who grassed the pedo up. http://jimfishertruecrime.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/hey-kid-want-to-be-star-pedophiles-in.html
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of alias is "Jason James"?
ReplyDeleteI really have doubts of JJ Abrams for being "in" on it. I don't think the pedos would take kindly to him ratting out of their own even if it was a poor attempt.
