I swear to God, I can't fathom why people just don't get the fact that, when you're on probation for certain things, you should not do anything whatsoever that might be just the littlest bit in violation. Reference Paul Reubens, aka Pee Wee Herman.
LOS ANGELES – The actor who gained fame as children's television star Pee-wee Herman pleaded guilty yesterday to a misdemeanor charge of possessing obscene material and was sentenced to three years of probation requiring him to stay away from children.
The plea was part of a deal actor Paul Reubens, 51, struck with prosecutors, who agreed to drop a separate child pornography charge. Under the agreement, Reubens will have to register as a sex offender during his probation period, undergo counseling for one year and pay a $100 fine.
Reubens, who contends that the images at issue are part of his art collection, will be allowed to continue to appeal his case.
His spokesman, Eric Moses, said that with the plea, Reubens acknowledged possessing 170 images that depicted minors with their genitals exposed and engaged in sexual conduct.
Some of the images were "child erotica" created by Reubens in recent years, Moses said.
As far as I am concerned, that's just stupid behavior. I honestly have always liked Paul Reubens and my little brother and I loved watching "Pee Wee's Playhouse" when we were growing up. But damn, man! Think about your actions!
