Actor Jeffrey Jones Arrested

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Actor Jeffrey Jones, best known as the suspicious high school principal in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," was arrested Thursday for allegedly having sex with a 17-year-old boy and possessing child pornography, authorities said.

Jones, 56, surrendered and was freed on $20,000 bail, said Officer Jason Lee (news), a police spokesman. Arraignment was scheduled for Nov. 21.

Jones was charged with one count each of using a minor for sex acts and possession of child pornography, said District Attorney's spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons. She said the alleged victim was a 17-year-old boy.

Police began investigating Jones last November after a minor came forward and "alleged criminal acts of a sexual nature," Lee said.

Investigators subsequently searched Jones' home and seized "numerous items of evidence," Lee said. He did not elaborate.

Jones could not be reached for comment. There is no listing for him in the Los Angeles area and the Screen Actors Guild (news - web sites) did not immediately respond to a request for his agent's number.

A widely recognized character actor, Jones played the music-loving Emperor Joseph II in "Amadeus," the mentalist Criswell in "Ed Wood (news)" and the father in "Beetlejuice."

I too, have discovered that a perfectly happy existance can be had without having to visit a movie theater.

I resent paying $10 to get brain damage. Instead of that money going to some Hollywood pervert to pay a hooker or shoot up, I give the money to a charity of my choice.

The distinction has been ignored by the press. To me there is a big difference, but they --and many others--wants to iderntify the word "minor" with the word "child>" so that sex between and adult and anyone under 18 becomes child abuse.

Pretty soon they'll need a whole prison wing just for the people who were in Beetlejuice.

It's the Beetlejuice curse!

It's also about as close as you'd get to positive depiction of free market economics in a Hollywood movie.
