Nickelodeon reportedly hired accused and convicted child molesters and pedophiles who worked on the set of kids shows that were produced by the Paramount-owned cable network.
Legal records obtained by DailyMail.com found that the network employed or worked with five child predators, as well as two others who were accused of pedophilia.
The staggering figure was previously unknown but came to light after a recent HBO documentary, titled “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids’ TV,” included testimonials from child actors who allege they were subjected to abuse on the sets of Nickelodeon shows such as “All That,” “The Amanda Show,” “Drake & Josh” and “Victorious.”
In the documentary, former child star Drake Bell, now 37, alleged that when he was 15, he was sexually assaulted by Brian Peck, who worked as Nickelodeon’s dialogue coach.
The next year, he was sentenced to 16 months in jail and ordered to register as a sex offender after pleading no contest to two child sexual abuse charges.
Peck went on to work for Disney. In 2021, Bell, who co-starred alongside Josh Peck (no relation to Brian Peck) on “Drake & Josh,” pleaded guilty to attempted child endangerment and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles.
