When One's STOLEN IDENTITY Commits Crimes


From this total baby cuteness to this not so cute??? 


Well, havoc of all kinds may also bring extreme changes into the life and looks of cute child actors like e.g. Brian Bonsall, but this special case is more weird than a case of "what may happen in the life of somebody": The grown-up man in the above photo simply stole the name and fame of the former child star, calling himself "Brian Bonsall", but in reality being the serial rapist Nathan Loebe. When brought to court, he was sentenced to 274 years in prison, which means that he shall never be released, no matter what. 

The rapist "borrowed" the name of the former child actor to make an impact on his female victims, and it seemed to work, because Brian Bonsall had been extremely popular when a child.

I suppose he is best known for his childhood role in the sitcom "Family Ties", but he also had success in grown-up roles, e.g. as Alexander Rozhenko in "Star Trek". 

 

He has made all right as a rock musician, singer and guitarist, but he may still be best remembered as the cute child actor. However, some may also know him as the drunken hooligan who was indicted over partner violence and the use of narcotics. Actually, that happened several times, and that's when he met Nathan Loebe, who decided to steal his identity. Brian Bonsall has told reporters that he quite often met people who asked him whether he was the "real Bonsall" or not, which was a question he found very weird, as he was whom he had always been, namely the former child actor who had made an impact on many fans when he was very young. Not until the arrest of Nathan Loebe did he understand that he had been played by an ID-thief who committed crimes, (mis-)using his name.
