Drake Bell continues to give something to talk about after his participation in the documentary series “Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV”of the Chanel Investigation Discovery. Now he remembered his meeting with the ex coach of dialogues Brian Peckafter he was released from prison for having sexually abused him while they both worked at the channel Nickelodeon.

In interview with Yordi RosadoBell detailed that Peck, despite having been identified as a sex offender after the accusations that the actor made against him, had contact with teenagers after serving his 16-month sentence: “He was on the set, working, going to parties, walking around Hollywood, as if nothing had happened. I remember one time I saw him in a restaurant, and he was at the table with 10 or 12 teenage actors, ages 14 to 16. I walked in, saw him and realized he was back to what he was doing, turned around and left.”

Drake also said that After the scandal Brian was hired by other companies besides Nickelodeon: “When (Peck) got out (of prison), he was a registered felon, a registered sex offender for crimes against a child, and he went straight to work in Disney Channelin Fox; all those companies just hired him back.”

A few days ago the channel Nickelodeon issued a statement in which it supports Bell’s decision by having made known the abuses committed by Brian Peck: “Now what Drake Bell has revealed his identity as a plaintiff in the 2004 case, we are shocked and saddened to learn of the trauma he has endured, and we commend and support the strength needed to move forward.”
