10 Scandals That Cursed The Cast Of Harry Potter
7. Harry Potter And The Goblin Who Indecently Exposed Himself
Nicholas Read, who played a Gringotts Goblin in the Philosopher Stone, was found guilty of performing a sex act under a juggler's hat on a train in 2010 and was ordered to complete a sex offender course.
The 4ft 5inch actor, who also appeared in Star Wars, has a string of previous sex offences that include obscene phone calls and groping a women. In that scenario, his 16-week suspended sentence was given instead of prison because the judge said he was making progress and that the latest offence had helped him in ‘seeking to conquer this sexual deviancy’.
However, it seemed the former actor succumbed to the Dark-Side again when the 46-year old breached his suspended jail term after being arrested once more in 2011 for indecently exposing himself to a teenager on a train. Mr Read was allegedly drunk when he exposed himself to two medical students on a train and took a picture of one of them on his phone.
The father of one avoided jail time as his short stature made the judge consider him too "vulnerable" to spend time with the general prison population. Since then, Read has managed to keep himself out of trouble with the law and works as a sleazy Santa Claus in nightclubs and recently co-opened a hair-salon with Katie Price.
It's probably safe to presume he won't be invited to any Hogwarts reunions anytime soon.
