Don't know but there's a similar situation in the UK with Jimmy Savile. It was only after his death that his pedophilia, etc. came to light. He was a DJ and TV "presenter" ("Jim'll Fix It!" --granted wishes to kids.) Wiki: "Scotland Yard launched a criminal investigation into allegations of child sex abuse by Savile over six decades, describing him as a "predatory sex offender", and later stated that they were pursuing over 400 lines of inquiry based on the testimony of 300 potential victims via fourteen police forces across the UK...The suspected victims included 28 children aged under 10, including 10 boys aged as young as eight. A further 63 were girls aged between 13 and 16 and nearly three-quarters of his victims were under 18. Some 214 criminal offences were recorded, with 34 rapes having been reported across 28 police forces"
One kids' TV show had a "Jimmy Savile puppet" in an episode made before the scandal; it re-aired by accident.
