Flashback: Mr. Rooney from Ferris Bueller
"I did not achieve this position in life by having some snot-nosed punk leave my cheese out in the wind." -- Principal Ed Rooney in Ferris Bueller
Just making the rounds looking for some celebrity photos and came across this one of the principal from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Here he is -- with a bag of takeout -- in Beverly Hills. So what happened to Jeffrey Jones after Ferris? He became a registered sex offender.
Here's the scoop from IMDB.com: In November 2002, after having been accused of hiring a 14-year-old boy to pose for sexually explicit photographs, Jones was charged with one felony count of employing a minor for purposes of taking sexually explicit photos and a misdemeanour count of possessing child pornography and released on $20,000 bail. In July 2003, after pleading no contest to the felony charge, he was placed on a sex offender register, given five years probation and ordered to undergo counselling. The misdemeanour charge of possession or control of child pornography was dropped. Imagine if he was a real high school principal. Ick!
