Disney Channel Star Arrested After Allegedly Trying To Have Sex With Minor

This past week, 48-year-old actor Stoney Westmoreland was arrested in Salt Lake City after he allegedly used a dating app to send explicit photos to a person he believed to be a 13-year-old boy, then arranged to meet for sex with him. When Stoney showed up to meet the boy, he was arrested by Salt Lake City Police and members of the FBI Child Exploitation Task Force. The actor was charged with attempting to entice, seduce or lure a minor by internet or text. He also faces four counts of dealing in materials harmful to minors.

Westmoreland appears on the hit series Andi Mack, playing the title character's grandfather, "Ham Mack." In response to the arrest, the Disney Channel fired him and released a statement that reads, "Given the nature of the charges and our responsibility for the welfare of employed minors, we have released him from his recurring role and he will not be returning to work on the series which wraps production on its third season next week."

In addition to his role on Andi Mack, Westmoreland has also appeared as a Secret Service agent on eight episodes of Scandal, plus he's been on NCIS, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul
