Why is that a setback for Maddie, J-J?
what would a dbs check have shown then?
Has he done anything illegal?
It's not a setback for the search for Madeleine. That actor has been used in several Crimewatch reconstructs and is no threat to children.

Is it at all relevant ?
Whilst it may have been an unfortunate choice, it is not as if he is a child abductor or attacker is it?
Oh, for goodness sake!
I honestly don't see what the big deal is.

He is an actor, yes most of his work is in adult films, but why should that make any difference to the ongoing search and investigation?
Pretty sure 'acting' in a porn film isn't a crime. Poor judgement by someone at the BBC (if they knew) but hardly the end of the world.
I have to say this seems something of a non-story to me. According to the report, he has worked for crimewatch before. Why is this such a big deal?
Shock horror - Is he a Private Dick?
And wears an old Mac ?..lol
He's an actor not a child minder.
Makes you wonder.

That is: makes you wonder why anybody would buy this paper if this is the standard of the articles.
If you do the research, its amazing how many movie actors got their start in films for the discerning lady and gentleman. More so in the sixties and seventies than now but its not illegal and doesn't make the bloke a paedophile.
"Why wasn't a DBS check done when they knew he would be working with children?"

How do you know a DBS check wasn't done?

What Criminal offense were you expecting to show on his DBS?
what difference does it make what films he was in before ? I can't see it makes any difference at all , even if he played a child killer , it is not real just acting. Working in a 'porn' film is not against the law so it would not have shown up even if he had a DBS check
Her name's not Maddie, either - it's Madeleine, her parents never called her Maddie.
Perhaps he was trying to break into 'real' films.

I note he kept his clothes on throughout the reconstruction
The main point in hiring him would have been that he looked enough like the person he was playing to be convincing no other reason.
