Matthew Wendland Arrested on Child Porn … Goofy & The Beast Busted … Its Not Such a Wonderful World at Disney

What is going on lately with those that play the role of the Beast from Beauty and the Beast? Previously, Broadway star James Bardour was charged with five counts of criminal sex acts and sexual abuse against the teen back in 2001.   

Now 20 year old Matthew Wendland who dresses as Disney characters “Goofy” and “The Beast” was arrested on 51 counts of child pornography. With a much recently publicised Tigger slap of a teenager and now this one would think that Disney may want to tighten up their background checks and constantly evaluate their help. Its not like the the Disney characters are not around children 99.9% of the time.

Roommates of Matthew Wendland, 20, tipped police to images in Wendland’s room of children in sexual poses, according to an Orange County Sheriff’s report. A search turned up a half-dozen printed computer pictures of children under 18 performing sex acts or in sexual poses and at least another 45 images on a CD, the report stated.
