In his private journal, Jason Michael Handy once described himself as a “pedophile, full blown.”
Handy snapped more than 1,000 photos of girls at the elementary school across the street from his house, using a camera with a telephoto lens, according to court documents. He volunteered at a Malibu church, where he worked with 6-year-olds. And his job as a production assistant at one of the nation’s most prominent producers of children’s television programs, Nickelodeon, gave him access to child actors on and off the set, and allowed him to exchange email addresses and phone numbers with them.
He used the hopes of at least two girls who dreamed of careers in TV to sexually exploit them.
