Today's Blind Items - P's Friends
There is a behind the scenes power player in Hollywood, who was on a blind earlier this year. Let’s stick with calling him P.
P once represented a former A– list teen star who you all know, during the early years of his career. However, there is no reason to think this former 80’s star is one of P’s victims. While he has been in the news a great deal lately for reasons other than his acting, our former star does return to the big screen soon. About a month from now, he stars in a small-budget crime thriller, as a vicious, cross-dressing vampire.
Back in the day, a little over 3 decades ago, one of P’s close work friends happened to be a notorious child-molesting photographer, who also dabbled in child pornography. Let’s call this photographer B.
Around this time, another of P’s close work friends was another long-time serial pedophile. He was called NS in a prior blind, and you all know him. NS was an acting manager. P, B, and NS all had clients in common, through referrals from one to the other. Their businesses at the time were not in competition with one another – but rather complimentary.
It was not unusual for P, B, NS, and a couple clients to all hang out in the same place together.
Back in the late 70s, B was first brought to the attention of the LAPD. It wasn’t until about a decade later that he was finally caught in a nationwide child porn sting, along with several others. B fought the charges, and escaped on a technicality during the appeals process.
Despite this, B was welcomed right back to Hollywood. B began branching out as talent manager and coach. B managed a certain young actor, starting when he was barely a teen. This young actor had big promise, and quickly began getting a lot of work. Unfortunately, this young actor quickly spiraled down the path of substance abuse, and died of a drug overdose before he turned 25.
B was accused of child porn a little over a decade and a half ago, but he struck a plea deal. B pled to a misdemeanor, and got probation.
A few years later, one of B’s clients went to the police. He was barely a teen at the time, and got B convicted for molesting him. B finally served a few years in jail.
What did P know about his friends, and when did he know it? How long did he remain friends with them?
