CleanFlicks Founder Arrested

CleanFlicks Founder Arrested

Charged with forcible sexual activity with a 14-year-old girl, Daniel Thompson was known for editing videos to make them more family friendly.

The co-founder of CleanFlicks, a video editing service once used by many Christians, has been arrested in Utah for allegedly paying a 14-year-old girl for sex.

Daniel Thompson, who ran CleanFlicks till the courts shut it down in 2006, had more recently operated Flix Club, a family-friendly edited-movie video business in Orem, Utah. He was arrested last Thursday on two charges of forcible sexual abuse and two charges of forcible sexual activity with a 14-year-old. Thompson is out on bail.

Thompson’s business partner at Flix Club, Isaac Lifferth, was also arrested on similar charges.

Thompson reportedly told police that Flix Club, which carried videos in which objectionable content had been edited out, was only a front, and that he and Lifferth were also involved in making and distributing porn movies.

Flix Club was forced to close last year after a federal court ruled that movie-editing businesses violated U.S. copyright law when they "sanitized" films by removing nudity, sex, profanity, and other objectionable content.

According to police reports, Thompson and Lifferth allegedly paid two 14-year-old girls $20 each to perform oral sex, and Lifferth allegedly had intercourse with a 16-year-old girl multiple times, including in the offices at Flix Club.

Sad turn of events.

Must say though — that was a pretty good thread. FReepers disagreed but actually had an intelligent discussion going on there.

Looking at the keyword link makes me wonder — why is it the number of views don’t show anymore on the current posts?

RE: Views.

I don’t know. I think there was a thread on it and it had someting to do with something.

But I don’t know.

I do wish they still had the count on Views, though.

Christians are not sin-less but should sin less.

This is sad for many reasons. Not one of us is perfect but those who are in ministry or leadership roles sure let many people down when they give in to their sinful ways.
