Many people are aware of Hollywood actor Robert DeNiro facing a scandal back in 1998 in France, involving sex with underage prostitutes at Saint-Tropez. De Niro was never charged in that case, nor did he go to trial.
Here, Jamie Dlux touches upon another instance in which DeNiro hired two convicted child sex criminals, while producing, directing and starring in the 1993 film A Bronx Tale. Again, DeNiro never faced charges in that case, but the man who taught him truck driving for the movie, Brian J. O’Neill, was convicted on 242 counts of rape, sodomy, assault and other charges involving children as young as three years old. One of those victims had been brought onto the set of DeNiro’s movie and also had stayed overnight at the home of a DeNiro employee.
The other convict, paralegal named Bruce Wisnefsky, was found guilty on 133 counts involving sex with two underage girls, forced to engage in sex by O’Neill. One of the girls testified, “It happened a couple of times a month. I had to do it or I was beaten.” Wifnessky submitted a set of alibi witnesses that included DeNiro as well as Balthazar Getty, the grandson of J. Paul Getty.
