Criminal records show that Gale worked with a pedophile actor on the film that made his Hollywood breakthrough, Howard the Duck.
Jeffrey Jones, who co-starred in the film with Gale and also featured prominently in Beetlejuice and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, was arrested in 2002 for possession of child pornography and was convicted of soliciting a minor.
He has since been arrested twice for failing to update his sex offender registry status.
In a 2014 interview, Gale described his past association with Jones, receiving him for Thanksgiving dinner in Palm Springs after filming Howard the Duck in the 1980s, before Jones was sentenced.
