A scene in the forthcoming Twentieth Century Fox movie The Predator featuring former Days of our Lives star Steven Wilder Striegel was cut after the studio learned he is Connecticut’s sex offender registry.
The studio's move, first reported by the Los Angeles Times, occurred immediately after it learned of the actor's background.
Striegel was arrested by Newtown police in August 2009 on charges of engaging in an inappropriate internet relationship with a 14-year-old girl. Age 38 at the time, he was living in New York while the girl was living in Newtown.
He was convicted in May 2010 of two felonies, risk of injury to a minor and enticing a minor by computer. He was sentenced in August 2010 to 10 years in prison, suspended after he served six months in jail, and three years of probation.
He remains listed on Connecticut’s sex offender registry.
Striegel is a longtime friend of the film’s director,...
