This is disgusting. I loved Mr. Rooney too!


Actor Jeffrey Jones faces sex, child porn charges
Character actor known for roles in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Amadeus




LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor Jeffrey Jones, best known as the suspicious high school principal in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, was arrested today 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 is scheduled 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.

That sucks...he was great in everything I saw him in.

Maybe the real reason he was chasing Ferris around Chicago was so he could have sex with him.

BAM! Cheap shot, but funny!

I loved this guy, I thought he was so funny. He's obviously got some problems though. I hope it doesn't stem from being in Tim Burton flicks because then we'll have to worry about Johnny Depp...

shame... now i'll never look at "ferris bueller" quite the same again.

won't stop me from diggin it, tho'...ferris is still the man.

I could see if the guy was 12. But he's 17. Does this make sense that in a few months, the whole thing would have been perfectly legal?

I'm not advocating sex with children in any way, but this imaginary cut off line at 18 bothers me sometimes.

If the person he was fooling around with was 18, we would call him a stud for being able to nail such a young person at his age.

If the person hes fooling around with is a few months younger, its the exact opposite, he's a heinous child molester.

Just doesnt make sense to me.

Well he DID have child pornography in his house. That makes the 17 year old boy part a little creepy if you ask me.

One thing that confuses me about this country:

A movie called "American Beauty" is a big hit where a 40 year old has sexual fantasies about a high school girl. . .no problem.

A man in his 40s has sex with a 17 year old boy and then there are problems.

Not advocating either. . .just wondering what the difference is. . .[of course, if we're talking about child porn, that is a whole different thing. . .]

Another thing that mystifies me:
Men in their 30s can drool after Britney Spears or the Olsen twins (did anybody read Details a few months back?), but if I (just about 30) drool after NSync, then there's a problem. . .

What is it about these men and kids?Something needs to REALLY be done.No talk,just torch their ass and this shit will stop.I'm sorry but i don't get it,what makes a child attractive to a man?SICK SHIT

That's Disgusting. Can someone post a picture of Jeffrey Jones? I think I know who it is but I'm not Sure.

Thanks Skel. Yeah,I can't believe it. This is who I thought really odd to have to have this kind of Controversy and Charges.

Who cares about Jeffrey Jones! Poor Pee-wee, man!
