The actor, whose IMDb page lists credits for “NCIS: New Orleans” and “Game of Thrones,” was arrested last week after LAPD detectives claimed he was in sexually explicit communication with an out-of-state minor.

Joseph Gatt, a 50-year-old English actor living in Los Angeles and perhaps known for his recurring roles in “Game of Thrones” and “NCIS: New Orleans” was arrested on April 6th after Los Angeles Police Department detectives claimed that he was having online, sexually explicit communications with an out-of-state minor. This is not the first time that Gatt has victimized a minor, as there was already an outstanding felony warrant for his arrest based off of similar circumstances with another minor victim.

From Fox News:

[Gatt] was arrested for contact with a minor for sexual offense.

Police are now “seeking to identify any additional victims” following Gatt’s arrest.

Gatt was booked into the Los Angeles County Jail on April 6 at 9 a.m. local time and was released after posting a $5,000 bail around noon the same day.

Sexual predators in Hollywood have become increasingly common, to the point that it rarely shocks some readers to learn about any given celebrity being investigated for or accused of grooming or sexual assault. However, this does not make it less concerning that so many people with money and power are preying on our children.

Furthermore, that $5,000 bail is all that is required to be back out on the streets after an arrest for sexually explicit communication with a minor is scary indeed. The amount of harm that the actor can continue to do while out on bail is difficult (and uncomfortable) to imagine.

Not good news for Alec when Gloria Allred gets involved.

Actor Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun on the set of his new Western movie in New Mexico on Thursday, killing his photography director and injuring the director, the local sheriff’s department said.

The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office said Halyna Hutchins, director of photography for the movie “Rust,” was fatally shot while director Joel Souza was wounded.

Hutchins, 42, was pronounced dead after being airlifted to University of New Mexico Hospital, officials said.

Souza, 48, was being treated at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, The Associated Press reported.

Production has been halted on the movie, AP said. 

A spokesperson for Baldwin said there was an accident on the set involving the misfire of a prop gun with blanks.

The Santa Fe New Mexican reported the 68-year-old Baldwin was seen outside the sheriff’s office in tears.
