Gabriel Jarret is no stranger to the entertainment industry, having appeared in 1985’s Real Genius alongside Val Kilmer, as well as films Last Days and Apollo 13 and TV shows The West Wing and 21 Jump Street. However, the 53-year-old actor has now allegedly been caught in a paedophile sting operation.
According to MailOnline, Jarret was caught by social media vigilantes Creep Catcher Unit, who set up a decoy account and claimed to have been in contact with the actor for more than a year. The outlet reports that Jarret was supposed to meet a ‘teenager’ in Santa Monica on Sunday night, a meeting that was allegedly based on ‘sexually explicit’ messages sent by Jarret that he thought were sent to a 13-year-old girl.
In a since-deleted video, Jarret is said to have insisted that he thought the girl was 18, and that he was only meeting with the person to tell them to stop messaging him. He reportedly said: ‘I’ve got someone that was calling me again and again, and I told her again and again, you know, you need to stop this. And she started getting insistent, whatever. And I’m here to tell her to stop. She said she was 18.’
The Creep Catcher Unit sent the footage along with other alleged evidence to Santa Monica police. Messages seen by the outlet are said to have started back in May 2022 and in them, Jarret allegedly grooms the supposed underage girl. The phone number allegedly used by Jarret apparently matches one he previously wrote on court documents filed in LA in 2018.
The Agency has reached out to Santa Monica police for comment on the matter. If you’ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the The Agency entertainment team by emailing them, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting their Submit Stuff page.
