EVERETT - A television and movie actor who formerly lived in Mukilteo was charged today in Snohomish County with second-degree rape of a child accused of having sex in 1998 with a then-12-year-old relative of his wife. 33-year-old Scott Hamilton Bairstow now lives in Los Angeles. Charging documents allege that Bairstow had sex with the girl three more times outside Washington.

Mukilteo police reportedly obtained a court-authorized order to tape-record a telephone conversation this month between Bairstow and the girl.

During the conversation, the girl allegedly told him she was considering telling somebody about the sexual intercourse. He allegedly replied that if she did, he could be thrown into jail and have his career ruined.

Bairstow has appeared in feature films including "Tuck Everlasting" and "New Best Friend." His television roles included appearances in such shows as "Party of Five" and "Touched by an Angel."

What a creep, but then he's just following an old Hollywood tradition. I believe it was Douglas Fairbanks Jr. who when approached by a reporter when getting off of a plane with his latest underaged honey told the reporter, "I may be to old for her, but I assure you, sport, she isn't too young for me."

Hey, if anybody is a registered user of IMDB, you should update Scott's bio!

"Sheesh! I had to look it up. This guy played "Jesus" in the series finale of Touched by an Angel..."

Apparently he didn't learn anything from his role. What a shame!
