BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (KMSP) - A Minnesota talent agent accused of molesting two brothers who wanted to become actors was booked into jail early Tuesday, one day after a nationwide warrant was issued for his arrest.

"We've seen it over and over again where people in authority get an opportunity to groom kids then abuse them," said Washington County Attorney Pete Orput.
Investigators say Feeney befriended the brothers and their parents in the fall of 2007, which is when he began providing the boys with casting opportunities and acting classes. By 2009, the boys' mother said she considered Feeney a close family friend and trusted him with her sons.

The boy's mother learned about the alleged abuse after her younger son noticed she was posting pictures of her children on Facebook and told her he did not want other people to look at his body. When asked why, he began to cry and told her his acting coach had touched him inappropriately.
She then called in her older son, and he too began to cry and told her he had been touched as well. Neither brother said they knew Feeney had touched the other until the family discussion brought it to light.
In 1992, Feeney was convicted of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct while he was a counselor at a Catholic Youth Camp in Aitkin County. In February of this year, he was charged with indecent assault and batter, enticing a child and unnatural acts in Massachusetts after he was accused of assaulting a 14-year-old boy in his home; however, he posted bail in that case.
Given the access to children Feeney had through his talent agency, authorities worry there may be more victims.

Unexpectedly...
He’s innocent! Everyone knows homosexuals aren’t child molesters. /s
But homosexual males never molest boys. It’s always heterosexual males like Jerry Sandusky who do so. I know this is true because the liberal media and Hollywood tell me so and they’d never lie or be wrong about anything./sarc
Bet he’s a NAMBLA member too.
When are people going to understand that inside every homo is a pedophile screaming to be set free?
Whaaaaattt? You mean gay adults raping young boys? No way! What’s next, homosexual priests molesting altar boys?
Paedophilia is just another of the colorful folkways of the sodomite lifestyle.
I enjoy hanging out with good people of all ages, orientations and even genders (tho I am quite comfortably gay, so all you ladies, well probably never be more than good friends!). Im very open minded about just about everything with the exception of illegal drug use and mean hearted people Im initially physically attracted to the boy next door type (think Neil Patrick Harris) or the silver fox (think George Clooney) but thats just what first turns my head its truly whats inside that turns my heart and what I find very physically attractive most people would consider boring. As an actor Ive mingled with a lot of famous people and most are very nice, but Im much more impressed with real down to earth types who like me for who I am, not for what I can do for them. Some notables I still would like to personally work with would include the Coen Brothers, Robin Williams, Bill Cosby and William H. Macy.
Okay, this one hits a little too close to home. Two of my sisters-in-law got some acting work through Walden Entertainment. They suggested my son pursue some work in a couple of movies Walden was producing.
I’m a former TV producer myself and didn’t really appreciate their website. Thank goodness for mommy spider-sense. Plus, I’m not into the stage mom thing. Love summer theater, but I’m there all the time and know what’s going on.

If the state insists on releasing these fiends, they need to start tatooing “MOLESTOR” on their foreheads or something. Trusting them to notify others of their condition is ludicrous.
What TV shows did you produce?
Hang this fcuking queer!!!
Cut his junk off, feed it to him,
then blow this fcuking queers brains out.

The “catch and release” method of dealing with these slime balls is insane. These piles of crap should be tossed onto a deserted island away from human society or given a “lead pill.”
Gardening stuff on HGTV, my own invention, and some shows for Travel Channel. Worked for ABC for awhile.
Don’t want to get too specific as I don’t want to reveal too much. I might get outted as a, gasp, conservative!
Zimmerman had to come up with $100,000 - wonder how much this guy had to come up with...
As bizarre as your statement seems, I think you are 100% correct. I would rather see a child molester have a short and brutal sentence and then have the choice of release from prison with the a fore mention tattoo or remain in prison for a long time.
