According to legal records obtained by Daily Mail, Nickelodeon was ‘infiltrated’ by accused and convicted child molesters and pedophiles.

Daily Mail reports the court records show the network “employed or worked with five child molesters as well as two others accused of pedophilia.”

A new HBO documentary, titled “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids’ TV,” reportedly highlighted two of the offenders.

The New York Post said the documentary features testimonials from child actors who allege they were subjected to abuse on the sets of Nickelodeon shows such as “All That,” “The Amanda Show,” “Drake & Josh” and “Victorious.”

“Molesters include Nickelodeon production assistants and a talent manager who had sexual contact with young kids and teens,” Daily Mail reports.

From Daily Mail:

Molesters include Jason Handy, a Nickelodeon production assistant who had sexual contact with a nine-year-old girl; and Ezell Channel, hired as a production assistant at the cable channel after a child sex offense conviction, then arrested for sexually assaulting an underage teen at the studio.

Marty Weiss, a talent manager who placed clients on top Nickelodeon shows, was later convicted for ‘lewd acts’ with a 12-year-old male client.

And Cody Longo, late star of TeenNick 2012 show Hollywood Heights, was accused of sexual assault of a 9-year-old girl in Colorado in 2019 and pleaded guilty to a lesser charge two years later.

The HBO documentary Quiet on Set: the Dark Side of Kids TV also detailed the conviction of former Nickelodeon dialogue coach and actor Brian Peck, who molested child star Drake Bell when he was 15.

He went on to work at Disney after his conviction.

The New York Post reports:

The HBO documentary also revealed that Jason Handy, a Nickelodeon production assistant who described himself in his personal journal as a “pedophile, full blown,” sent a photo of himself masturbating to Brandi Carlile, who at the time was the 11-year-old actress who guest-starred on “The Amanda Show.”

In 2004, Handy pleaded no contest to felony counts of lewd acts on a 9-year-old child, distributing sexually explicit material and a misdemeanor of child sexual exploitation.

He was sentenced to six years in federal prison.

After his release, he was once again charged with indecent liberties with a child and sex offender registry violations.

Handy remains incarcerated in federal prison. His release date has been set for 2038.

Marty Weiss, a 58-year-old talent manager who steered clients to Nickelodeon, was convicted of lewd acts with a 12-year-old male client.

A former client told police in 2012 that he was molested by Weiss between 30 and 40 times over a period of three years when the boy was around 11 years old.

Weiss served less than six months in jail.

Cody Longo, the star of “Hollywood Heights,” a show that aired on TeenNick in 2012, was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl in Colorado in 2019.

Longo pleaded guilty to a lesser charge in 2021.

Last year, Longo, who struggled with alcoholism, was found dead at his Austin, Texas, home. He was 34.
