Veteran Disney Executive Arrested On Child Sex Abuse Charges

Tyler Durden's picture

In the latest case of Hollywood's spiralling sexual abuse scandal, Variety reports that a veteran 58-year-old Disney executive has been charged with three felony counts of child sexual abuse. Jon Heely, the longtime director of music publishing at Disney, was arrested nearly a month ago and charged with three counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a child. One of the reported victims was 15. The other was abused for four years starting at the age of 11, according to the charges.

His attorney Robert Helfend said Heely “vehemently denies these allegations.”

Heely, who oversees the licensing of music from Disney films, pleaded not guilty on Thursday. If convicted, he faces up to nine years and three months in prison according to The Daily News.

Oddly, the House of Mouse waited until yesterday to suspend the alleged pedophile. A spokesperson claimed the company had only just learned of Heely's arrest:

“Immediately upon learning of this situation tonight, he has been suspended without pay until the matter is resolved by the courts."

Heely’s attorney, Robert Helfend, denied the charges: “He vehemently denies these allegations and we will be fighting until the end to clear his name,” Helfend said. “It’s a shame, that’s all I’ve got to say."

Heely has been with Disney since 1981. He oversees licensing of the company's massive catalogue of film music. He also produced a series of Disney concerts around the world, including “Fantasia Live in Concert,” that feature orchestral performances and film clips.

The punchline: Heely's Twitter bio reads, “Disney Concerts and living to glorify God in all things.”

"... and to glorify God in all things."

We must remember that his "god" (as with most Hollywood denizens) is Satan.

Sort of like "Uncle" Joe Biden.

hmmm... something tells me you didn't graduate middle school considering you can't do basic arithmetic. You do know that of the last 100 or so pedophiles and rapists in Hollyweird, Media, and Congress, 99 of them have something in common and since you're a little slow, I'll give you a hint, the letter in front of their name starts with the 4th letter of the alphabet.

Really?  I don't remember any story in the bible where Satan actually harms anyone.

Is it not the other main character that kills people with floods, plaques and disease?

Manson didnt stab anyone... should of been set free

Did you ever notice that in the present time, people in power are exceedingly happy while many are wishing for a hard reset which entails a removal of all of the corruption and the population being shocked awake?

Replace "floods, plaques and disease" with "hard reset."

Watch Jordan Peterson to find the answer to your question about good and evil. He's probably one of the best clinical psychologists in the field. Total genius. He expands on Heidegger, Freud, Jung, and many others. In addition to being a clinical psychologist he is a professor at the University of Toronto and has all of his lectures for free on YouTube. Every 30 mins of investment in JP will yield 5 hours of reward.

I like him but his insistence that no one should care about what Israel does to harm people turned me off.

Good luck with that.  I'm sure Satan has an eternity all planned out for you.

And it's knowin' I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
That keeps you in the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentile on my mind.

I've become so cynical that my first thought is why the fuq d'ya think Disney made cartoons in the first place?

Note:Possibly the best human response to seeing a guy dressed as Santa or a Priest is to punch him in the face, because why would you want to hold other people's children all day.  

PS - I'd happily give to wrongful facepunch legal funds but somehow I think we'd have a 80% positive "hit rate" and we'd cover the loss on the youtube advertising!!!

Caution - I have been watching Doug Stanhope vids for 2 hours today! (Thanks Billy the Poet)

Doug will make you think.

His NFL bit is the funniest thing I've ever seen:

"Don't stab him with it, tease him with it."

Ha they probably already have. That month they waited to suspend him was so he could trail Raj Patel, his replacement.....

Shouldn't laugh because actual children were hurt, but burn baby burn. Fuck these people.

Actually the sex references in Disney are very likely animator's nods to their forebears. In the early/mid 1900s Disney animators felt underpaid and underappreciated (actually some were the best paid in the business). As a stab at Walt (he was an asshole to work with according to many) they began to sell seedy pornographic paintings of things like "Snow White and Dwarves" to show their disdain and make extra bucks. Look into it!

Its much much worse than that but I understand it's so bad that you have to rationalize it like this.

Disney uses what most think of evil, snakes and things, but they then tweak perverted stuff, girls marrying animal, kids getting comfortable with strangers, being curious, young girls dressing/acting out adult lives.  Lots of hidden stuff in Disney films and most have noticed in an obscure way but still indulge, even with their kids, it’s Disney afterall. 

And this is why large public companies must rid themsleves of these, caught, people, they bring unwanted publicity to the brand they spend fortunes building.

Reminds me of that '90's era online investing commercial where some obese woman at an investment firm was laughing hysterically with her back to the her computer while her fat ass was bumping the keyboard, resending over and over, which the at-home investor thought was enthusiastic advice to sell his holdings. Jeezis, enough already!
