Manager of young actors arrested in molestation case

Saw this in the Times this morning. Just a thought, but letting our kids do sleepover with adults…not a good idea.  I don’t care if he’s a manager, agent, coach, producer, whatever, there’s no good reason to allow a child to sleep at a non-related adult’s house just cause.  Not blaming the parents in this story, just saying.

A Hollywood manager who specializes in representing young actors has been arrested on suspicion of molesting one of his clients, and police suspect there may be other possible victims.

Police arrested Martin Weiss on Tuesday on suspicion of committing lewd acts upon a child under the age of 14, said Det. John Alviani, coordinator for the sexual assault unit of the Los Angeles Police Department‘s Topanga Division.

Detectives executed search warrants in Santa Monica, where the 47-year-old Weiss lives and runs his business, Alviani said. The alleged victim, an aspiring singer and musician formerly represented by Weiss, told police he had been sexually assaulted in Weiss’ Santa Monica apartment and in a home in Woodland Hills, according to an affidavit attached to the warrant.  Read full story here.  You can also read about it on The Daily Mail here.
