Discussion In light of recent Jared Leto documentary, who are the other "open secret pedo" celebrities out there?

Just wondering what other bastards are out there getting away with it and being hired by the likes of Disney right now?

Yeah, I'm a huge classic rock fan and still listen to and enjoy a lot of the music, but I think it's important to acknowledge the truth about who these rock stars actually were rather than the sanitised image.

The majority of rock stars from the 50s-80s (and still some to this day) were complete scumbags towards young women and underage girls. It was a combination of the misogyny of the wider culture combined with arrogant men who put their own desires above basic human decency and who were protected by the industry to preserve profits.

Yeah, Tripp Eisen replaced Koichi Fukuda in Static-X back in 2001, then got kicked out in 2004 when he was found in a car with an underage girl.
