Martin Weiss, Hollywood Talent Agent Who Reps Kids, Charged With Alleged Molestation

Preventabusenow

Concerned Parent: You are absolutely right. There is no "look" the only way to protect children from these people is to educate them and their parents on all the things to look for, and all the tricks and threats that molesters use. I run a not for profit organization that does just that. It's amazing how many kids and parents don't know all the tricks and threats. Kids also need to know that sex is not love especially between an adult and child. I encourage everyone to obtain complete protection against child molestation by visiting us on the internet. We are protect children Incorporated.

My son auditioned for him, thank God i was there.... very sad story, Marty was very talented...and secure in his field as a well respected talent agent..

I am very sad to hear about this IF TRUE, because it IS a sickness. However, it doesn't take away from the fact that Marty was a VERY KIND person to MANY people. SInce hearing of this news I 've been questioning my own judgment - it's like, was he nice because of what he wanted or because he felt guilty? There seem to be a lot of criticism of him for his sexual orientation, too, which is UNFAIR. All in all, I'm afraid it probably is true and I feel for the victim mostly, but also for Marty for being a sicko.

I agree he has a reputation for being a hollywood pederast for years. He actully told me once that he was sodomized by a man named justin. Well his cell phone rang it was on speaker and it was Justin...wow how a mans voice can sound like a 12 year old.... I told my manager 4 times about him... he could not fire him...he was actually one of the best talent recruiters but he left when I called LAPD. If he makes bail lots of people are going to make his life hell before he goes there. And hes gonna get his ass wooped. I got kids and feel like tracking him down. But hes not worth going to jail over. Sorry for the typos...

I am wondering,, since you seem so terribly affected and passionately upset about Martin getting found out, will you contacting the police again to refresh them on your story of the Martin you reported long ago? Given he has been a sole proprietor for the past 14 yrs, I am sure they no longer remember or have knowledge of your findings long ago? Given now that you have children and NO (as you say) that there are other victims...will you come forward now, speak of your agency, and let them investigate it and his former clientele of children to see if any others have been injured? Or, do you just need to vent and move on with your life? Sorry you are going through all this anguish! Understandably so, what will you do with all your prior knowledge? Will you make yourself available as a witness to testify against him based on what you know? Will you reinforce the police of all of your knowledge of his goings on

I knew the guy in the 90's from the talent agency I worked at. I warned him. I befriended him when he told me his sick desires. I just kept a distance talked briefly from time to time. I always warned him. He once told me the day he gets caught he will shoot him self in the head. I reported this to my manager and LAPD the police did nothing , I dont know why. But Marty Old Boy You got lots of sodomy action ( as you used to call it ) sick bastard. When you lef work you would say Im going to look for very young boys. I told him ya and some one is going to look for you. Well ya got caught and Im shure you will get lots of -hot MAN -not boy - MAN sodomy where your going to. Your not even gay your a creep sicko peedo.... bust a nut with buba!

Wow, you sound like you are BOASTING about everything you knew and heard. You have known about this since the 90's? You told your manager 4 times but did you tell the LAPD 4 times? I guess your life got too busy to be bothered with being persistent with the LAPD. Oh and you talk about how you warned the alleged molestor. How about warning his future clients? It mentions that he had a website. How about telling one of the Hollywood guilds or something? You feel like "tracking him down or something" NOW which is a good 2 decades after you had knowledge of what he was doing? If what you say is true, you could have helped to prevent 2 decades of child abuse had you been a "squeaky wheel" back in the 90's. But now that he is finally cought all of the sudden you are BOASTING that you knew all alnog? You mention that you don't know why "THEY" did nothing. Well maybe it is because they were only told ONCE. Many times autorities do not take things seriously if they are only told once or they loose the phone number of the person reporting the crime or WHATEVER. Why did you not follow thorugh a little harder? Yeah, yeah you told your manager 4 times. But obviously he was not too concerned. Why couldn't you be more concerned? Oh, I know why, your career would have been hurt had you made a stink about it at that time. You waited 2 decades for someone else to come forward and NOW you are telling all? Now I think THAT is truly sick as well.

Sounds like gay to me.

Stupidrose

How stupid are you

Argent-59963@mypacks.net

He used the words 'sodomy action' and you didn't drag his ass down to the police station by his hair ( and you knew he was serious?)... I'm confused! How did you sleep knowing it was still happening...I get you reported multiple times, yet then you just let it go...? I would have followed him and called the parents of his clients and informed them of what I heard, wether I lost my job or not...people just don't go around saying those sorts of things in fun as it is a horrific statement!

Rose

Because I believe most men don't have that caring side like a mother. Well most mothers. Sad.

good_idea

"most men don't have that caring side like a mother"WOW that is so old school Rose. Your antediluvian attitude is what dominates Friend-Of-The-Court(FOC) all around the country (only the older FOC crowd) and deprives children of their father.As a single dad, I am twice(10x) the caring parent the mother is, with none of the credit. Conversely, the mother is half(1/10x) the caring parent I am with all the credit with the "old school" crowd.

Jjjj

So glad someone is doing something about this! Why did this Hollywood pedophile only get a few years in prison for kidnapping?

Looks like a pervert to me,

Charles

He is definitely victimizing other people, he's known around the Hollywood community as a pederast. Watch other people come forward.

Concerned Parent

No actually he wasn't KNOWN at all as a pedophile. He was known as a person who loved kids and the kids really cared about him so please don't spread stuff you don't know and as far as him "looking" like a pervert. Not sure how someone can look like a pervert. If he is guilty than he is ill. And as a parent whose child was managed by him it is a big shock to all of us. I did my homework. He didn't have a record. I never left my child alone with him because I never leave my child alone with anyone. Ignorant comments will not get you anywhere. Let the judge decide if he is a pervert.

James Firth

DO you have the name of the child who is now prosecuting?

jay

You are wrong. He is a sick man who is a pederast and molested many kids. I knew him when I worked at a big casting ajency. I was his friend untill he started being open about his sick desires. Then as I stated he confessed to some things I wont state here. I went to the Police and he quit the next days. This is fact - the judge cant judge a chili eating contest. Did you know the man?

whats wrong with every one your all so ignorant! most peds are not mean people and you cant tell who they are een if you have known them for years.. Dont trust any one with your kids - especially adults who LOVE KIDS - ahh dhuu....like teachers - the largest group of peedos, or any one whos desires a passion are kids and work with kids. Im not saying every one, there are people that truly loves kids in a normal way. But just keep your instincts alert.

I think one of the reasons alleged crimes like this go unreported is because people, like some of the ones who commented here, are not only angry at the alleged molestor but also at the victims and/or their families: "whats wrong with every one your all so ignorant! " In fact I think that people can be just as cruel hurling insults at people who trusted the wrong person (someone who turns out to be a child molestor) as much as the child molestor themselves. What is wrong with those kinds of people who are high on their horse as if they have never been a bad judge of character in their lives? I think just about everyone has made a wrong judgement that has affected someone else in a bad way. As a teacher, I am careful that I am never alone with a kid in a room with a closed door. I also don't hug back when a child runs up and hugs me. It is really sad because I am afraid to even hug a kid for fear of my reason being blown out of proportion. Yes there are untrustworthy people out there but there are also many trustworthy people as well. When parents are on the other end of the spectrum, i.e. overly protective, then that too can hurt their children because they limit their interaction with other human beings which in turn can make them less able to "read" people when they get older. Just about anyone can potentially be a molestor including parents themselves! Ok, so extra caution is important but it is also important to have some level of trust in your lives so your kids do not grow up afraid of everyone and/or have such a lack of experience interacting with all kinds of people that they will get taken advantage of when their "helicopter parents" are not always around when they become adults.

ROSSCATHY29

AND NO DISRESPECT CONCERNED PARENT, BUT IF ALL PARENTS TRULY FEEL THE WAY YOU SAY YOU DID,,I MUST SAY YOU ARE A PRIME EXAMPLE AS TO WHY PARENTS ALSO NEED LAWS AND LEGAL BINDING GUIDES WHEN ALLOWING THEIR CHILDREN IN THE COMPANY OF ANY THING OUTSIDE HOME THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE A RELATIVE TO ACCOMPANY THEM. I REALLY FEEL PARENTS NEED TO BE A BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE AND SMARTER WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR KIDS.THIS ALSO SO INCLUDES LEAVING THEM IN THE COMPANY OF RELATIVES. BE SMART. SCHOOLS ARE REQUIRED TO DO BACKGROUND CHECKS, ALTHOUGH THAT MEANS NOTHING BECAUSE PERVERTS ARE IN SCHOOLS TOO, BUT KIDS ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE ALONE WITH ANY ADULT AT SCHOOL, ITS NOT COMMON PRACTICE...SO PARENTS,PLEASE PROTECT YOUR KIDS,IF THEY DONT HAVE LAWS TO MAKE YOU AT LEAST USE COMMON SENSE..LOOK ON THE INTERNET FOR IT.

ROSSCATHY29

WELL I BELIEVE MARTIN WEISS IS A PERVERT AND YES THERE ARE MORE VICTIMS...IT IS TRUE THAT THE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD IS SHADY AND U HAVE TO SURRENDER YOUR SEXUALLY IN ORDER TO MAKE IT BIG..NOT ONLY SHOULD THERE BE LAWS TO COME FOR THE AGENTS BUT ALSO FOR THE PARENTS WHO ARE MONEY HUNGARY AND TURN A BLIND-SIDE TO REALITY..EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT CHILD SEXUAL PREDATORS ARE DOMINANT IN THE INDUSTRY.PARENTS NEED TO BE HELD LIABLE AS WELL...PROTECT UR CHILD, NOT YOUR MATERIALS.

Clairwise

Sorry but you are dead wrong in your attack of the op. I know a lot of people in Hollywood who thought this guy was as creepy as the day is long. Within one minute of meeting him I knew I wanted nothing to do with him.

Truly, I'm glad you posted because I'm dying to ask someone who hired him, HOW the heck did you NOT see the red flags? Honestly. This guy is so arrogant and proud of it. He boasted his "stable" of boys. Stable! I'm not trying to blame the victims and I'm glad you used sense by not leaving your child alone even when you felt trust, I just can't see how you missed the signs that this was a predator.I'll never understand it. Didn't you notice he only wants to spend time with boys? He shows up to kid events and ONLY pays attention to the kids. No grown up wants to spend all day at a pool party or a roller skating event. He is a very sick man and I'm sorry you didn't see it but it doesn't change the fact that he never did a good job of hiding it.

Hjkhkj

Why would you want to know something like that James? Youre sick too. Thats none of your or anyone elses business but them and the poilce.

Whats the kid's name who is now pressing charges and also how can i find out who else was a client for the agency he worked for

Pedophilia isn't an illness, it is a lifestyle choice.

Roofcleaningbysutton

Pedophilia isn't a illness or a lifestyle choice its a sin against God that will be dealt with. Lifestyle choice sounds too sterilized of the truth. The fact was they were raped. We can all make choices, but with them comes consequences.

Gods word says that it would be better that a millstone(Stones used to grind wheats into flour by way of ox because of the great weight) to be tied around the peds neck and dropped into the see than for just one child to be offended(skandalizō which is Greek for our word scandalized).Now, don't be weak minded and think its OK to do this because Gods word also says He alone is the judge(Judicially) We only have declarative power. Thats why it says it would be better, meaning figuratively speaking.I am 40 and a 80s child for sure. I grew up watching the Coryx2 and loved every minute of it. I would have really been happy to have been their friends and hang out, but if I would have known their seemingly wonderful life was actually a horror, I would have ran the other way.
