Chris Christie Distances Himself From Federal Abortion Ban: ‘Should Not Be Involved’
'Consensus that has emerged'
The actor and stunt man who silently played the murderous doll in the movie "Chucky" has been outed as a possible pervert.
A child advocacy group called the "Creep Catcher Unit" confronted Ed Gale on April 14 with a folder containing a collection of screenshots documenting conversations he allegedly had with a person he took to be a 14-year-old boy, reported L.A. Weekly.
The 14-year-old boy was an invention, a decoy account managed by the Creep Catcher Unit.
Gale reportedly began having conversations with the fictitious boy in February. Over time, Gale allegedly began discussing graphic sexual acts and detailing how he'd engage in them with the fictitious boy.
The anonymous leader of the so-called Creep Catcher Unit, who calls himself "Ghost," told L.A. Weekly that in the "days leading up to the meeting, [Gale] got very, very graphic. ... He talked about how he wanted to be inside the kid."
Initially, Gale invited the fictitious boy to his apartment, suggesting he would autograph souvenirs and spare him from having to carry around his belongings while touring the Hollywood Walk of Fame area, reported L.A. Weekly. However, he dispensed with such subtlety shortly thereafter.
"Throughout the chats, he would ask for child pornography," said Ghost.
When the Creep Catcher Unit finally paid Gale a visit, he allegedly said, "I knew this was going to happen."
Ghost said, "He basically admitted to everything. He admitted to wanting to have sex with this kid. He said it could have gone down if the kid wanted it."
Ghost's group frequently livestreams its "catches," modeled in part after Dateline NBC's now-defunct TV program "To Catch a Predator." While they caught the exchange on camera, they did not stream their alleged 353rd "catch" live on Friday.
KTTV reported that Gale confessed during the on-camera confrontation with the Creep Catcher Unit.
"Yes, I'm admitting I know it was wrong and it was illegal," Gale told the CC Unit during the on-camera confrontation. "I'm admitting that. And I'm sorry."
When asked whether he talked "sexually to a minor online," Gale answered in the affirmative, then confirmed he knew it was a felony.

Los Angeles Police turned up toward the end of the two-hour exchange. The Creep Catcher Unit reportedly turned over all the chat logs to the officers.
According to KTTV, Gale's phones have been confiscated, but he has not yet been charged or arrested.
"It’s ironic that in the movie, the serial killer doll is going after an underage boy, then in real life, this guy is doing the exact same thing," said Ghost. "He kind of embraced the role."
According to IMDb, Gale has appeared in over 130 television shows, films, and commercials. In addition to playing but not voicing Howard in "Howard the Duck," Gale played characters on kids' shows, such as Tasha the baby dinosaur in the ABC Saturday morning program "The New Land of the Lost."

Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro has strong words for Dr. Anthony Fauci and far-left network CNN for dismissing the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine against COVID-19, after a new study found that treatments of the malaria drug combined with zinc more than doubled the survival rate of coronavirus patients on ventilators.
Navarro says Fauci and CNN have blood on their hands.
"I had 60 million tablets of HCQ that Tony Fauci and @cc wouldn't allow the American public to use because of their Hydroxy Hysteria," Navarro tweeted on Thursday. "Blood on @JohnBerman @cnn and Saint Fauci's hands. More than 50,000 Americans would be alive today."
The economist shared a link to an article by The Daily Mail, titled, "Was Trump right about hydroxychloroquine all along? New study shows drug touted by former president can increase COVID survival rates by 200%."

The Mail pointed to an observational study on 255 COVID-19 patients published in medRxiv on May 31, that was conducted by Saint Barnabas Medical Center in New Jersey. The study, which has not been peer-reviewed, concluded that "when the cumulative doses" of hydroxychloroquine and zinc "were above a certain level, patients had a survival rate 2.9 times the other patients."
Early on in the COVID-19 pandemic last year, then-President Donald Trump touted hydroxychloroquine as a promising treatment against the virus.
Germany's Bayer pharmaceutical company in turn donated three million doses of the anti-malarial to the U.S., as health care providers were already treating coronavirus patients with hydroxychloroquine-based treatments in France, China, and other nations, MarketWatch reported at the time.
The Washington Examiner noted Trump's promotion of HCQ "earned him pushback from medical experts, including his own White House coronavirus team member Dr. Anthony Fauci, and political pundits who dismissed his claims and maintained the drug was ineffective."
The new study on HCQ's effectiveness comes as Trump has seen a series of apparent vindications in recent days, which was not lost on his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.
The younger Trump tweeted Wednesday, "In the last week alone, we've learned that the media, so-called fact checkers and their Big Tech enforcers lied to us about the lab-leak theory, Hydroxychloroquine and the clearing of Lafayette Square. All to hurt Donald Trump. What else are they lying about?"
