‘Jon & Kate Plus 8′ Editor Arrested for Child Porn
William Blankenship, an editor who worked on shows like Jon and Kate Plus 8, Kate Plus 8, 17 Kids and Counting and Table for 12, was arrested on October 21 on child porn-related charges.
TLC Cancels Kate Plus 8, Jon Gosselin Responds
58-year-old Blankenship was charged with 10 counts of sex exploit of a minor, which means he possessed photos and/or video of a minor engaged in sexual activity. YUCK.
No bond has been set for the creepster. He is likely ”under the authority of the U.S. Marshals” until trial, a spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons said.
Figure 8 Films, the company he worked as a subcontractor for, released a statement on the arrest:
“Bill Blankinship was employed by Serious Robots, with whom Figure 8 Films subcontract for editing services. Upon learning of the shocking allegations his employment was terminated,”
The company went on to explain that Blankenship was never in contact with the Gosselin children or any of the other TLC stars:
“At no time was this man ever in the field or in direct contact with any of the talent for any of our productions.”
Disgusting!
