The iconic Chucky actor Edward Gale, Ed Gale for short, has been accused of pedophilia and soliciting s*x from a minor by the YouTuber CC Unit or Creep Catching Unit. The channel organizers set up a sting operation where they caught the veteran actor and stuntman red-handed, with Gale confessing to the crimes on camera.
Fans of the cult classic slasher film franchise Child's Play from the 80s might remember Edward Gale, who played the titular character of Charles Ray Lee or Chucky in the franchise's first, second, and fourth installments in 1988, 1990, and 1998 respectively. CC Unit released this video exposing the pedophilic actions of the actor on Twitter earlier this month with the hashtag #arrestedgalenow.
Who are the CC Unit? The California-based group dedicated to protecting children online
Creep Catching Unit is a California-based organization managed by individuals who have chosen to remain anonymous. The founder and the person who can be seen in most of their videos go by the moniker Ghost, and he was the one who could be seen confronting Ed Gale with his cameraman with chat logs proving the pedophilia allegations.
According to their YouTube About page, the organization's main aim is to help protect children from online predators by raising awareness about criminals who prey on minors and "catching" them. As evidenced by the recent allegations they brought against the Chucky actor, group members pose as children online to bait pedophiles into communicating with them.
CC Unit then turn over all of the evidence to the relevant authorities and also physically try to confront the criminals, just as they did with Ed Gale. Who, according to the video posted on Twitter, was expecting a 14-year-old minor to show up at the door when the YouTube group entered the house with a cameraman.
In an interview with Fox 11, Ghost, the founder, revealed how a "decoy" from the CC Unit posing as a minor was solicited for s*x by the Hollywood actor:
"From the decoy he wanted s*x and he wanted to be a daddy."
In the video, the Creep Catching Unit's questions also lead to Ed Gale confessing to engaging in pedophilic actions with minors a total of ten times.
As expected, people online were horrified, with many calling on the authorities to arrest Edward Gale while praising CC Unit for their sting operation. Here are some of the general reactions to their tweets:
It appears that while the evidence provided by the YouTube organization was enough for the police to take away Gale's cell phones, he still has not been arrested. It is unclear how, when, or if the actor will be charged at all.
