The Union of British Columbia Performers released a warning announcing "Jeepers Creepers 3" director Victor Salva's sex crime with a minor in the past.
“It has recently come to our attention that a casting breakdown has gone out for a future film entitled 'Jeepers Creepers III' and that the director of the film, Victor Salva, was convicted of sexual misconduct in 1988,” it read.
"Jeepers Creepers 3" director Victor Salva was convicted of performing a sexual act with a minor and was sent to jail for three years and served 15 months.
