Avatar Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Feb 9, 2007 Local6.com - A Walt Disney World cast member who plays Beast from "Beauty and The Beast" was arrested Thursday on 51 counts of child pornography, according to Local 6 News. Orange County sheriff's deputies arrested Matthew Wendland, 20, after receiving a tip from one of his roommates at Camden World apartments near the Disney World property. Authorities picked up Wendland at his work at Disney, where he was dressed as The Beast from Walt Disney World. Officers then went to his home. 'He gave us consent to search his apartment," Orange County Sheriff's Sgt. Rick Mankewich said. "In his bedroom, in his apartment we located several images of young children posed in pornographic positions." "(They) found explicit photos of children ages 3 and up," Local 6's Charnel Wright said. "It was shocking, even to investigators." "It is obviously concerning for anyone downloading pictures like this," Mankewich said. "I've viewed the pictures myself and it is extremely disturbing looking at these." The 20-year-old did not have a criminal background. "This guy doesn't have a criminal history," Mankewich said. "You can do all of the check you want and it is not going to show anything. We just lucked out that somebody saw these images in his bedroom, which is locked, and was able to get to us." Authorities believe Wendland downloaded the images and did not take them himself. A Disney official said Wendland has been suspended without pay. Wendland also plays the character Goofy at Walt Disney World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatar Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 I am glad that got him before his sickness got worse, plus in is definitely in the wrong job to have an illness like his. I don’t think he will go to prison though. IMHO, his first time in trouble and he did not molest any minors, directly, I think they will give him mandatory rehab and a very long probation sentence.

The Interpreter Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Life is so unnerving For a servat who's not serving He's not whole without a soul to wait upon Ah, those good old days when we were useful Suddenly those good old days are gone Ten years we've been rusting Needing so much more than dusting Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills Most days we just lay around the castle Flabby, fat and lazy You walked in and oops-a-daisy!

Monroe Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 (David Gilmour) Momma loves her baby, and daddy loves you too. And the sea may look warm to you babe And the sky may look blue But ooooh babe Ooooh baby blue Oooooh babe. (Roger Waters) If you should go skating On the thin ice of modern life Dragging behind you the silent reproach Of a million tear-stained eyes Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice Appears under your feet. You slip out of your depth and out of your mind With your fear flowing out behind you As you claw the thin ice. (David Gilmour) Ooooooh, Babe. Now we are off topic!!!!! Or are we??????????

The Interpreter Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 ^^^ Now, read that. We knew that was where this was headed. First the love of parents for their child... Then the verse about a mind going wild... You slip out of your depth and out of your mind With your fear flowing out behind you As you claw the thin ice. Perhaps it is just me, but to me it seems terribly sad, and terribly on topic. Some things are just too awful to comprehend directly. I, for one, am proud of this board for the way we have responded. And proud, too, of the understanding mods who have let this thread stand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatar Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 No charges to be filed after 'Tigger' complaint Sarah Lundy | Sentinel Staff Writer Tigger, the Walt Disney World character, is no longer in the cross-hairs of the State Attorney's Office. No charges will be filed against 31-year-old Michael J. Fedelem, the employee playing Winnie the Pooh's bouncy friend, the State Attorney's Office announced today. Prosecutors reviewed the complaint that Tigger punched a 14-year-old during a home-video session at Disney-MGM Studios last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 ...which means no criminal charges. The supposed victim will doubtless still file a civil suit, seeking moola...which is what this has been about from the beginning.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
