As Disney/ABC Fires Roseanne for Racism, They Have No Problem Hiring CONVICTED Pedophiles

 The cancellation of the series “Roseanne,” and the public firing of  Roseanne Barr have created a media firestorm, and while ABC was publicly  responsible, the network is owned by Disney, and the decision was  ultimately made by Disney CEO Bob Iger. 

However, the quick decision made by Disney with the claim that it  would not tolerate “racist” comments, makes many wonder why the company,  which built its empire on entertaining children and families, thought  it fitting to fire Barr over her controversial Tweets, at the same time  that it seems indifferent to hiring pedophiles and sexual predators to  work inside the family-friendly organization. 

Both Brian Peck and Victor Salva were convicted of several sex crimes  against children—yet went on, after their convictions, to enjoy  lucrative careers within Disney’s corporation. Peck, who starred in X-Men and in all three Living Dead films, served 16 months in prison and he still works with children on Disney film projects. According to court documents reported by the Daily Mail, detailing Peck’s crimes against a child actor known as “John Doe” to protect his identity: 

The documents show Peck was originally charged with 11  counts including: lewd act upon a child; sodomy of a person under 16;  attempted sodomy of a person under 16; sexual penetration by foreign  object; four counts of oral copulation of a person under 16; oral  copulation by anesthesia or controlled substance; sending harmful  matter; and using a minor for sex acts.

Salva also sexually abused children and continues to enjoy the good  graces Disney offers, all the while Disney is now portraying itself as  taking the moral high road in firing a comedian over a series of  controversial tweets. Salva directed the Jeepers Creepers films. According to a report from Celebrity Insider, which exposed the corporate hypocrisy: 

“In 1988, the child actor from the  movie Clownhouse Nathan Forrest Winters told his mother at the end of  filming that the director Victor Salva had been molesting him for  approximately five years. Salva was found guilty on five of the 11  original counts after he confessed to the sexual abuse and video  recordings of him abusing Nathan Winters were found in his home. Police  also found videotapes and magazines featuring child pornography as  well.”

Salva’s conviction as a pedophile sexual abuser was not enough,  apparently, to keep him from being employed by Disney. The director went  on to make the company millions with the release of Powder, a  film Nathan Winters vehemently objected to being released. Winters was  just a boy when Salva reportedly began sexually abusing him. 

The  molestation went on for five years while the two worked on the film Clownhouse. After Winters told his mom, police investigated, found child  pornography in the form of magazines and videos, as well as the damning  home movies he made of Salva sexually abusing the child actor. 

Still, it  was not enough to keep the director out of favor with Disney. Disney’s approach to Rosanne Barr must be taken in context. The no. 1  rated show on ABC was terminated after the lead actress took Ambien and  went on a Twitter rant she herself said was indefensible. 

With CNN reporting  that the decision to fire her and to nix the show permanently, came  directly from Disney CEO Iger, the most obvious question must now be  asked. Mr. Iger, if it’s seemingly okay for your company to give  millions of dollars to convicted pedophiles, what are you trying to  accomplish by firing an actor over a few crude tweets? 

The one thing that is still blatantly apparent is that Disney does  not care about the child actors who were sexually abused by their  employees. Nathan Winters’s career is done. Used up by a pedophile  director, and cast aside, the actor now says pedophilia in Hollywood is  endemic. As TFTP reported, Winters remarked: 

I was basically blackballed for telling the truth. He’s  been coddled completely, big names in Hollywood have been backing him  throughout the entire process. Seems like there’s an exclusive club and  Victor’s part of that club.

Abusers working for Disney continue to be outed. In December, amidst  the burgeoning #MeToo movement, Disney executive and senior-level music  director Jon Henley was arrested and charged  with three counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a child. His case is  now making its way through the courts. Even though there are reports  that Disney has suspended him, it is unclear if he is still working with  Disney and drawing a salary.
