Victor Salva child molester.


I was reading the trivia for the film Powder, Salva directed this in 1995, and saw that he was convicted of child molestation several years earlier.

And in other news no one doesn't know yet...

John Lennon was shot dead.
Nelson Mandela was released from prison.
Terrorists flew planes into buildings in America.

It's clear from your response that this is something you've known about for a long time, but I can't be the only Jeepers, fan that didn't know. The few times I looked up info for the films nothing about Salva's, crime ever came up, and I've never looked up Salva, how often do you google a director? Proof that something so obvious to you, but unknown to someone else is the post by DeathsDesign, whom I'll just refer to as He, saying that Jeepers, fans need to band together to have a third film made. He was completely unaware that Jeepers 3, was filmed and finnished months ago. His post only seemed like common knowledge to me because I heard about it so long ago. I also want to say I'm not angry over your reply, when I started reading about what Salva, had done I felt like an idiot that should have all along.

Was more of a joke reply than anything.

The Salva board as well as the boards for films he's made, have been rife for years with 'He's a Paedo!!!!' topics.

reply

I didn't know that either...

And like you said, it's not that often you look up a director or producer.

reply

Yes he was convicted of his crimes.

As much as i hated him for his past deeds, i cannot help to like JPs movies. It is something hard for me to reconcile and i don't think I ever will

That said, since his last conviction, seems he has stayed clean.
