Remember Jeffrey Jones? Like me, you may have seen him in countless re-watchings of notable 80's-era films such as Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Beetlejuice, and Amadeus. Or perhaps you remember seeing that in 2003 he pled no contest to coercing a 14-year-old boy into posing for a series of sexually explicit photographs (including Naked Cowboy, Naked Stuffed Animal, and Naked Indian.) In any event, he was arrested last week and charged with failing to renew his registration as a sex offender, thrusting his name into the limelight again.His star had diminished enough by the time of his offense that the headline generated a shrug at best. The whole thing had blown over sufficiently enough that upon a recent watching of Beetlejuice I thought to myself, "Isn't that guy a sex offender? Or was that the principal from The Breakfast Club?" Today that question was definitively answered.
Call me sir, goddammit!
