Disney hired convicted child molester to work on 2006 kids show: report


HOLLYWOOD, June 7, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Disney is facing backlash after news resurfaced of it hiring in 2006 a man to work on a children's series who was convicted of sexual crimes against children two years previously.

Brian Peck was found guilty in 2004 of lewd acts against a child as well as oral copulation with a child. The child was reportedly a Nickelodeon star. While Peck pleaded "no contest" to these two charges, his original charges also included sodomy and attempted sodomy with a child, using a child for sex acts, and sexual penetration by foreign object with a child, reported An Open Secret.

Peck was hired by Disney, owned by ABC, to work on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody just one year after he was released from prison.

Before his conviction, Peck worked on Boy Meets World, All That, The Amanda Show, and other kids’ shows, according to his IMDB resume.

Disney's hiring of a convicted child sex abuser was used by various media outlets to highlight ABC/Disney’s hypocrisy in swiftly canceling the TV show Roseanne after star Roseanne Barr’s infamous – now deleted – racist tweet.

The news comes one month after Reliance Entertainment's Show Dogs was pulled from theaters after parents complained it groomed children for sexual abuse.

The economy was slow in 06' but not that slow, more people looking for work than jobs and they couldn't find a equally qualified candidate without a felony conviction for sex crimes against children? No background check? Surely the man lied through his teeth but seems a bit sloppy handling in the hiring process, embarrassment to say the least for the financial giant that is Disney.

They had to know the criminal background. You apply for a job around children and that is automatically a local police background check.
