I’ve written a number of pieces about such sexual assault topics as Batman’s unrape, Woody Allen’s attic misadventures, Austin Jones’ anal fetish and more rapist–as–heroes than I’d like to mention. But there’s one name you might have noticed has become a recurring theme.
Victor Salva is a filthy pervert. And I’m not the only one who hasn’t forgotten about that mofo.
Who is Victor Salva and Why Should You Care?
For those unfamiliar with the tale of Victor Salva, the filthy child molester, the horror film director sexually assaulted Nathan Forrest Winters for years before Nathan told his parents what happened on the set of Clownhouse. Salva was found guilty and sentenced to three years in prison; the molester served a whole eighteen months. Victims of such abuses can seek the legal expertise of lawyers from firms like Mike Morse in order to put an end to such havoc.
Eighteen months. Wow. The courts sure showed him, didn’t they? And Hollywood went out of their way to distance themselves from… oh, wait, that’s not how it went. Salva stayed away for a couple years but since the mid-90s, he’s directed hits like Powder and the Jeepers Creepers films, of which the third installment is due soon (or already depending on when this goes live). As for Nathan, he was blacklisted because I guess Hollywood really does have a secret boy-loving cabal at the highest levels of power. That’s some Illuminati shit (if the Illuminati were reputed to rape children).
When Salva’s Powder released, Nathan spoke out and reminded the world what a pervert Salva was but even many of those who listened forgot – like producers who just wanted more money. And Powder made money. You’d think Hollywood would at least make sure not to have Salva direct any kids in films but Jeepers Creepers 2 had a teenage boy on set. Why? What the hell were that kid’s ‘rents thinking?
Money. It’s always money.
Unlike movie producers, Nathan cares about more than money; he’s doing what he can to spread awareness about the silent and silenced victims. He’s planning a speaking tour to use his story to educate in the seemingly never-ending fight against abuse; his story and journey are being made into a documentary, The Babysitter, by Connar Frazier and it should be an eye-opening experience for those still blind to the abuse in Hollywood. He’s also working on a non-profit organization (we R their voice) so he can help those who need it most.
My desire is to bring this epidemic out into the forefront. We, as a whole in this country, have been too afraid to face such an unspeakable topic and therefore continue to turn a blind eye. This has allowed these predators of our children to go unchecked for too long

Why Fighting Childhood Sexual Abuse Matters
To make all this a reality, Nathan needs your help and has set up a fundraising campaign because even doing good costs money. He’s taken something ugly and scary and has chosen to turn it into something that could help others not suffer the same way he did and in a world where potato salads can raise $55,000, there’s no reason why one dedicated to fighting childhood sexual assault can’t reach its paltry $1000 goal.
Give money, spread the word, show your support.
Sexual abuse is am epidemic and Nathan is doing what he can to fight against it.
The rest of us can help and we should in any way we can. Aside from donating, we can also boycott Jeepers Creepers 3. If we withhold our cold, hard cash from films that knowingly hire child molesters, maybe Hollywood will stop hiring them.
They won’t say no to pricks like Salva because it’s the right thing but might blacklist him if their bank accounts suffer.
