Ya see, I honestly just don't really get that.  He could easily have murdered said 12 year old and just now be getting out.  And that would be widely considered a somehow less terrible crime.  This kids family, somehow, wouldn't of minded as much if he'd had his head removed with a shotgun versus being molested.  

And Victor Salva pretty much does have a scarlet letter...  With the kid organizing boycotts (well, he did for Powder anyway) it's not like actors agents won't tell them about his past if they don't already know.  Same for the crew really.  It is not something he can conceal.

Interesting discussion on how hints of paedophilia can pop up in a film, when it is directed by a convicted paedophile like Victor Salva. But, a film need not be directed by a paedophile--convicted or not--to have hints of paedophila in it. And there are reasons for that. For example, in "Horror of Dracula," the male dominant vampire basically tells the female submissive vampiresses: "You are weak; therefore, you can't hunt; therefore, you can't feed; therefore, I'm giving you something weaker to feed on. Here's a girl. Feed on that."
Indeed, if a vampire has not hunted before, such as "Bram Stoker's Dracula," or, it has been a while since they last hunted, such as "Salem's Lot," the first victim is often a child, because a child is weaker then an adult.
Or, if for some reason someone needs a virgin, such as "Once Bitten" or "Lair of the White Worm," the victim is often a child, because a child is more likely to be a virgin, then an adult.
Here are some more films that hint at paedophilia from the incestuous relationship
in "Black Sabbath" to the true life vampirism of "Tenderness of the Wolves."
Man preying on boys: "Dracula" (1979) and "Ultraviolet."
Man preying on girls: "Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter."
Woman preying on boys: "Dr. Terror's House of Horrors" and "I Was a Teenage Vampire.."
Man preying on both both boys and girls: "Fright Night"
And all of the above: "Vampire Circus."

Man, I just saw Fulci's DON'T TORTURE A DUCKLING.  That is full of dead boys...and I don't want to reveal the ending, but the killer is easy to figure out today due to recent events....I wonder if the killer was as obvious to audiences in 1972, probably not!

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
