>“Jeepers Creepers 3” hit theaters for one night only on September 26, and certain plot points are rubbing critics the wrong way given the criminal history of writer-director Victor Salva. The 59-year-old was convicted in 1988 of the sexual molestation of Nathan Forrest, the 12-year-old actor and star of his film “Clownhouse.” Salva videotaped the sexual act and was also convicted of possessing commercial videotapes and magazines containing child pornography.
>Salva only served 15 months of his three-year sentence, and he somehow went on to have a career in Hollywood in the years that followed. Disney hired him to direct their supernatural drama “Powder,” and Salva found his greatest success with “Jeepers Creepers,” the 2001 horror film that spawned a franchise.
>“Jeepers Creepers” is currently on its third installment, and it has been drawing criticism not only because it marks another opportunity for the convicted pedophile to make a feature but also because it includes a character whose backstory involves being molested by her stepfather. Deadline reported last year that a casting notice for the main role of Addison was looking for an “18-year-old actress [to play a character] who at the age of 13 had been sent to live with her grandmother after her stepfather ‘started making overtures’ to her.” Gabrielle Haugh landed the role.
>“Jeepers Creepers 3” does not depict any kind of child molestation, but it does include one moment where two characters are discussing why Addison no longer lives with her stepfather. One of the two characters is romantically interested in Addison and seems to understand why her stepfather would make “overtures” on her. “Can you blame him though? I mean look at her,” the character says. “The heart wants what it wants, am I right?”

Anyone ever seen Clownhouse? Really makes you think about that scene with thekid in the bathtub. Why was this guy ever allowed to work in the industry ever again?

IGN: Victor Salva has a well-documented criminal record. According to some reports his history contributed to some of the delays in making this film and there are those who say they’ll continue to protest anything he produces. How do you respond to that?
JB: Obviously it’s a very serious issue. But I can truthfully say the very first time I met Victor it was 2000 and the Internet wasn’t what it is today. I didn’t even know anything about his background when I met him. I had the advantage of just getting to know him for who he was, how he treated me, what kind of artist he was. I got to know him through my own personal experience with the guy. It’s one off the best creative experiences I’ve ever had working on these films, a real highlight of my career. I just think it’s a shame because in this day and age, the Internet being what the Internet is, it’s been great in a lot of respects and in some respects it’s really cheated us. We can sit in our office or sit in a room and type somebody’s name and read something about somebody and judge them in ten seconds and think we know them. The truth is, Victor’s not the same guy he was 33 years ago. He’s just not. Most people aren’t. I believe people deserve second chances. It was a horrible thing that happened and a horrible mistake that Victor made and nothing can change that. But I know who the guy is today and he’s not the same person and I’d like to see him have a second chance. But then there are those who feel like he should just crawl in a hole and bring the dirt in on top of him, that he should haven’t the chance to make a living and he should just go away and never been seen or heard from again. And that’s certainly their right to feel that way. Working for him has been one of the biggest privileges of my career. I can say that with a hundred percent confidence. There is redemption in all of us.

I saw Clownhouse before I knew who this guy was and before Jeepers creepers came out even at the time before knowing anything about the director I thought to myself "the director is molesting this kid"

there's a huge difference. If i say there are dragons in a movie and it's just someone offhandedly mentioning how they existed long ago and that's it, people would be pissed

Cameron Cruz
More pedophilia defending Jewish BS. Just the fact that this guy was able to work at all after this incident proves (((they))) are trying to normalize pedophilia.
Its not even about openly endorsing or defending these people. They just use really passive language and mannerisms when addressing pedophilia to slowly normalize it.
Xavier Sanders
most people are crazy about their children. they can try this shit as gently and slowly as they like, it will never work. a line will be crossed and blood will be spilled and the cycle will begin again
that said there are a lot of fucking degenerate, asslicking scumbags forcing gender reassignment on their children for virtue points so what the fuck do i know

The youngest of the brothers, Casey, was played by 12-year-old Nathan Forrest Winters.
During filming, Salva kept Winters behind on set, where he secretly filmed himself forcing the kid to give and receive oral sex. When Winters told his parents about the abuse, the authorities raided Vincent Salva's house.
They found enough pornographic material of children -- including the tapes of 12-year-old Winters being molested -- to sentence Salva to three years in prison, of which he served 15 months.
Robert Brooks
Hollywood is truly rotten to core. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Once you lift the blanket you'll find Satanic orgies, blood sacrifices, multi-billion dollar drug trafficking. All covered with a veneer of liberalism.

Pedophiles like him are the biggest retards ever.
He literally was sent to prison for doing something awful and he still doesn't understand why it was bad, to the point he feels comfy publicly acknowledging it in his writing.
His career isn't really that successful, though. There was a 14 year gap between the last Jeepers Creepers and this one, and no one will even see this one 'cause it couldn't even get a limited release. Salva clearly has some special connection that allows him to do this, but even that connections has probably worn thin which is why this dumb sequel only got a one-night release.

It was the late 80s user, that was all they had back then
Joseph Rodriguez
Whenever I see cases like this where the person should clearly have no career but somehow does, it's a clear implication that they have dirt on other similar people. Getting access to these pedo circles requires some degree of networking, so if you get caught the expectation is that you'll keep quiet, do your time and you'll still have opportunities waiting for you, so long as you don't name anyone else. This is how the DEN guys were able to escape to Europe and later the Dominican Republic, they had a ton of dirt on everyone who bought into their child actor pedo ring and could easily extort them for resources by threatening to expose them if they didn't comply and aid them in escaping the authorities.
It's all fucking sick. Really makes you rethink all of your favorite directors/actors/showrunners and how close they are to this shit. Even if they've never done anything and think it's wrong none of them have ever tried to stop it because they enjoy their career and money too much. Even though I would miss all the content I love, LA getting hit by a giant earthquake would not be bad thing.

>[on Powder (1995)] [It] contains many of my thoughts from my time in prison in its subtext. It was a terrible time for me, enduring the constant taunts. I often felt like Flanery's [Sean Patrick Flanery's] albino character. My power did not come from within myself, though; my close friend Francis [Francis Ford Coppola] gave me that power. He visited me weekly, we discussed my crimes. Francis helped me to accept my past . . . which is certainly powerful!
