  • As the premiere of the horror flick Jeepers Creepers 3 approached in September 2017, many posted messages on social media to remind potential moviegoers about director Victor Salva's criminal history: Salva was convicted in 1988 on charges related to the sexual molestation of 12-year-old actor Nathan Forrest Winters during the filming of his movie Clownhouse. Salva served 15 months in prison and finished his parole in 1992. The Associated Press reported at the time: Salva's criminal history was first brought to light before the release of his 1995 movie Powder when Winters and his friends protested the movie. Winters said that he couldn't believe that Disney would work with a child molester: At the time, Salva released a statement saying How deeply I regret my actions. It continued: Caravan Pictures, the company that made Powder for Disney, also released a statement: More recently, Salva's past hindered the casting of Jeepers Creepers 3 when the web site Breakdown Services removed the casting call for a 13-year-old character (to be played by an 18-year-old) upon learning of Salva's crime. Winters never starred in another movie. (en)
