Johnny Depp call snuff-film director Hunter Thompson his 'mentor and father figure'

In the court proceedings taking place in Virginia the past two+ weeks, actor Johnny Depp has been praising his 'best friend' and write Hunter Thompson and referring to him as his "mentor and father figure". Depp told court that he spent $5 million on shooting Thompson's ashes out of a cannon.

Hunter Thompson was a snuff film director and "loved to kill" according to his David Letterman interview. Hunter was also jailed for rape as a youth.

Photographer Russell E. Nelson said Hunter Thompson offered him $100,000 to shoot a snuff film, copies of which would then be sold to “wealthy business people for tremendous amounts of money.” This is verified in a 2005 article by Tom Flocco for Prison Planet: “Recently arrested photographer Russell E. ‘Rusty’ Nelson–who according to U.S. District court testimony [2-5-1999] was impersonated by another photographer at Capitol Hill child sex parties during the Reagan and Bush presidencies, told us last week that in 1988 he refused Hunter Thompson’s offer of $100,000 to film a graphic child sex ‘snuff movie to be sold to wealthy private clients where a young boy would be murdered as a sacrifice.’”

In his shattering book on the 1988-1991 child sex ring scandal The Franklin Cover-Up: Child Abuse, Satanism, and Murder in Nebraska, attorney and Nebraska state legislator John DeCamp (1941-2017), interviewed Paul Bonacci, one of the child victims who provided testimonies to grand juries of his abuses and what he had witnessed.

Bonacci’s testimony included an account of how he and another boy Nicholas were taken to Las Vegas and ordered to rape a boy, after which an adult man sodomized and shot the boy — all of which was filmed. The director of the snuff film was Hunter Thompson.

In a 2010 article by The Telegraph (UK) Depp was again associated with child sex abusers, "Johnny Depp, the Hollywood star, has added his voice to a campaign to free three men convicted of murdering three children in a satanic ritual."
