We all know that edited movie clubs are all the rage here in Utah. So I find it rather ironic (and hilarious) that the owner of one such franchise (Flix Club Videos) was arrested for sex crimes (KSL broke the story).
Daniel Thompson made a name for himself and Flix Club by editing sexually explicit out of popular movies. Both Thompson and Isaac Lifferth (who we think worked for Thompson at the video store) were arrested on suspicion of sexual abuse and unlawful sexual activity with 14-year-old (a sure sign of desperation, no doubt).
Apparently Thompson and Lifferth paid two 14 year old girls for sexual favors. The girls met the men through another friend. The girls performed sex acts on Lifferth for $20, who then introduced the girls to Thompson. Police say the girls were again paid $20 for performing sexual acts on Thompson in his Orem edited-movie store. Both men claim they believed the girls were 18…(riiiiight).
In addition, after raiding the Thompson’s store, police said they found a very large stash of pornographic material.
There are so many things wrong with this scenario I don’t even know where to begin.

This is unbelievable that someone who is trying to appear “good” by editing videos is actually a quack. I can’t believe how low people will go. Another wolf wearing lamb’s wool that’s for sure.

Who says he’s trying to appear “good”? Just because he rents edited videos doesn’t mean he’s necessarily a good guy himself. I mean, who’s taking out all the offensive material? The dirty work is done by those not worried about getting dirty.
