However, Jones has been largely absent from the spotlight since his arrest in 2003.
In 2003, Jones pleaded no contest to charges of possessing child pornography, related to accusations that he hired a 14-year-old boy to pose for indecent images.
According to Entertainment News Weekly, the actor was sentenced to five years of probation, required to attend counseling, and mandated to register as a s** offender for life.
After his sentencing, Jones reportedly stated, “This concludes a really painful chapter in my life. I am sorry that this incident was allowed to occur. Such an event has never happened before and it will never happen again.”
BBC News reported that the actor was arrested in Florida in 2004 and in California in 2010 for failing to update his s** offender registration.
After pleading to the latter charge, his sentence included community service hours and additional years of probation, as reported by CBS News.
Although Jones doesn’t reprise his role in the Beetlejuice sequel, his character’s gravestone appears in the movie’s trailer, and a backstory is given in the film itself.
