Actor Jeffrey Jones Arrested for Alleged Sex Acts With a Minor

The Associated Press

Published: Nov 14, 2002

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, 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 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" and the father in "Beetlejuice."

To be fair and accurate, the police searched Paul "Pee Wee" Reubens' house and looked at his erotic art collection, but I don't think they found anything illegal, like child porn. At least, they never filed any such charges.

He was also in Out on a Limb with Matthew Broderick. The Jim and Jim skit was LOL funny.

What the hell kind of 17 year old " BOY " would want to have sex with a 56 year old " MAN " ? If the kid consented I have no sympathy for him - period .

Proving child porn is "illegal" child porn ain't easy, especially after the Supreme Court's most recent pronouncement on the subject. Plus, it's only a misdemeanor in California.

Ferris Bueller seems to be jinxed. Ferris himself killed a kid while drunk driving in Ireland, I believe.

"I DON"T TRUST THAT KID AS FAR AS I CAN THROW HIM..."

And with your bad knee, Ed, you really shouldn't be throwing anybody.

He played a satanist lawyer who fell victim to Al Pacino's Satan in The Devil's Advocate.

Whoops AP, sodomy is not sex.

He was the guy who got entered by the monsters in that famous movie, Howard The Duck.

Californian actors are pedophiles

More specifically, homosexuals are more likely to be pedophiles.

Charlie Sheen developed a substance abuse problem. Jennifer Grey got a nose job and faded into oblivion. Mia Sara is doing softcore porn. The only people prominent cast members who seem to have come out ahead are Alan Ruck and Ben Stein.

...and Ferris himself (I forgot his name. What does that tell you?)

Now we know the real reason why Ferris was running from him.

Well, other than killing that Kid, Matthew Borderick is doing okay for himself. Too bad he's married to the biggest butterface in Hollywood...

[SerpentDove]

>>Well, other than killing that Kid,<<

What happened?

HOMOSEXUAL

Why is that word absent from the article and every post up to this point?

...and who bother having statutory ages of consent if the homosexual crowd won't allow them to be enforced (in fact lobbies for them to be repealed).

PS> "homosexual" did make a previous appearance.
