So is he a child molestor? I never have been able to figure out the news about him.
From the article
Then in 2004, Reubens was sentenced to three years probation after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor obscenity charge involving photographs of minors engaged in sexual conduct were seized from him
Apparently they were rob lowes sex video tapes and antique collectables. https://web.archive.org/web/20100830071650/http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/gossip/2003/01/10/2003-01-10_pee-wee_says_his_porn_was_le.html
No, he was caught jerking off in a porn theater and charged with public indecency. In my opinion the whole thing was blown out of proportion and a stain on his legacy that doesn’t deserve to be there. People just hear “sex crimes” and “children’s performer” and come to that assumption. (No shade to you, its a fair assumption. I more have a problem with how the media handled it at the time)
You should probably continue on with the quotes a bit longer.
“That mischaracterizes the art collection seized,” Reubens’ lawyer, Blair Berk said Friday. “If that means a black-and-white tintype from 1901 with a young man of indeterminate, 17- to 19-year-old age, laying on the beach after having gone skinny-dipping … then they got it.”
“It was clear from the start that we, along with the many distinguished art experts supporting Paul’s art photography collection, vehemently disagreed with the city prosecutor’s view of what constitutes art,” Berk said.
From the same article you linked.
I don’t care about the wanking, but the CP possession charge is hard to ignore.
He whacked off in a porn theater afaik. So no. Weird though but I don’t know what else there is to do in a porn theater.
He has had 1 or 2 incidents involving child pornography of some sort (which I’m not underplaying lol), but as far as molesting, not that we know.

They were eventually dropped.
