Would you choose to work with a convicted peadophile?!

I watched this film completely unaware of the director's past. It was an ok film, the 'Rocky' training montage was ridiculous, but the rest was a midly diverting 100+ minutes.

Then I read about Salva's past on IMDB and I felt sick. Not least because of the amount of people that leapt to the defence of this slimy child molester in the name of 'Art'! Because someone (anyone) makes 'good films' we should divorce ourselves from the fact that this grown man manipulated a 12 year old boy in his employ on one of his films to repeatedly suck his penis while he video taped it?! Because he makes 'good films'?! Is that how it works?! By the same token, if it was your little bother/son/nephew/cousin/friend that he repeatedly debased and dehumanised while in his care you would put that aside as long as the creative content of his 'art' made up for it?!

I'm devasted that my money has helped this man pay his bills! I'm astounded that he is allowed to be in a position to sell anything to the public under the pretention 'I don't like to have sex with little boys'! If you need to eat, go pack boxes!! What also truly baffles me is that this is something that the industry knows about Salva and yet actors like Nick Nolte, Amy Smart, ALL OF THEM, still sign up to help him? Because it doesn't matter? The art it what he does is more important than the little boy he manipulated into performing sex acts with him on camera for his own warped gratification (and who knows who else)?! I wonder if anybody on set allowed their young childre to be around him? The author of this 'inspirational story', HIS story, allows a man who is a known and convicted sexual predator of little boys to bring it to the screen??!!! Am I missing something here?!!

If a man you knew was a convicted peadophile, a man who was a known child predator, offered you a job, would you accept it knowing that all your family, your friends, your peers would know who he is and what he had done? or does it really not matter? help me out here. Peadophiles do not stop being peadophiles when they are caught, they just have to be more discreet and/or more in control of their unnatural urges in the future. I would feel repulsed working looking into the eyes of a man who I knew had only stopped what he had been doing (or maybe just hadn't been caught out again) because he had been caught once already.
