This back in the day A/A- list mostly television actor who hit network gold a couple of times in his career was caught up in some really bad scandals with the tweens and teens that populated one of his shows. On an earlier show, that really made his fame, he sexually assaulted multiple women, but none came forward because they didn't think they would be believed and they did go on a date with him, so they knew what would be said about them.
On a later show though, things went younger. There were not very many legal age women on the set. One teen was about 14 when she went on the show and had a line or two. She wanted to be an actress and our actor took her under his wing and said he could get her more lines the next week and get her a main cast role if she would let him coach her. He did every day in his trailer for about a month. When she told him she was pregnant, he freaked out. Had she told anyone? No. He invited her to go to a horse sale that upcoming weekend and they could talk about it more. She went and at some point when they were looking at horses, she ended up behind one and the horse kicked her in the head and she was killed. Was it an accident? Did our actor, as an expert, maneuver her into a vulnerable position? The autopsy didn't indicate she was pregnant. Was she? Was it a cry for attention? Whatever it was, she ended up dead. It didn't stop our actor though.
