The man was just found innocent regardless of whether he was a child star or not. No justice no peace. Innocent until proven guilty, you should all be ashamed.

Skylar Deleon was NOT an actor on Mighty Morphin Rangers. He was in one episode as an uncredited extra (which means he was in the background of a scene with no lines).

Wrong. He was an extra, and never “starred” in anything.
Learn to fact-check.

Don’t worry for what the kids might think. Skylar Deleon was not a Power Ranger — he was just an extra on one or two episodes in the first season.
Press is hyping the Power Rangers connection to sensationalize the story.

I guess you had to blog before you could even do the most cursory research on the subject (and other blogs that didn’t do research either don’t count). I googled Skyler Deleon for you, and I found that he appeared on Power Rangers…as an extra…once. So no, not a Power Ranger. Nothing difficult to explain to your kids. You just got sucked in by a misleading headline.
Here’s a tip: when there’s quotes in the headline such as ‘Power Ranger’ faces death penalty, it means that it wouldn’t be a truthful statement without the quotes. Meaning that Deleon was not a ‘Power Ranger’, just associated with the show enough so that they could pull that phrase out and stick it in the headline, making it more eye-catching. The National Enquirer and other disreputable rags do it all the time, but I’m rather disappointed in CNN for doing this kind of sensationalistic crap.

Skylar Deleon was a character is only ONE episode of that show. He was by no means a star of it.

Everyone is touting Skylar as a former Power Ranger, but he’s only appeared in one episode in a non-speaking role. How does that constitute him being a Power Ranger? The media is using his only acting stint as a hook for readers and it’s a false presumption.
If Skylar Heleon is guilty, then he’s guilty, but don’t drag the Power Rangers franchise into this when he barely has a mark on it.
