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."

I wonder if he'll get the same treatment from the justice system as pedophiles such as Michael Jackson & Paula Poundstone.

If only actors were allowed to marry, this would never happen.

Now that's funny... Or tragic... Or both.

Arthur, my only regret is that it will likely be necessary to steal this line many times in the future.

And "The Pest", where he played a crazed German hunter who wants John Leguizamo's head.

They should do the taxpayer a favor and arrest everyone in Hollywood. I think I'd feel safer and less creeped out in San Quentin than in Hollywood.

There it is.

You took the words right out of my mouth. That is my favorite line from Amadeus and the only one I remember. Doesn't he kind of remind you of Al Gore?

And yet someone will inevitably post that we might as well legalize child porn if it is to ever go away...

Yeah, especially the deadpan delivery. I remember it well because I had seen the play with Mark--uh--Luke Skywalker playing the role of Amadeus. In the play the Emperor delivers the line in a sweeping overly-dramatic "THERE it is!" It made it very memorable. The tossed-off way it was used in the movie made it less memorable but more effective in portraying the emperor's banality.

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

All of Hollywood is "jinxed".
This sort of stuff is de rigeur for the Hollywood crowd - bunch of perverts.
This particular deviant happened to get caught, that's all.

I thought Howard the Duck was one of the finest sf movies of all time. Always wondered why there was no sequel.
