Famous Ephebophile: Doug Hutchison

Courtney Stodden (18) and Doug Hutchison (52) 

50-year-old actor Doug Hutchison (The Green Mile,The X-Files, and Lost) married his wife, Courtney Stodden, when she was 16. They met after Courtney signed up for Doug's acting workshop. They got married months later with the blessing of Courtney's parents. 

Unlike Hugh Hefner, Doug's marriage to the nymphet wasn't praised. He related to VH1, "I got death threats calling me a pedophile, calling me a pervert. My agent dropped me, my manager said by marrying Courtney was like taking a gun and shooting my career in the head."

The age-discrepant couple were recently on VH1′s Couples Therapy. In the promotional interview with Billy Bush, Doug mentioned that their relationship was modeled after John and Bo Derek. I wrote about John and Bo in The Allure of Nymphets where I related that Bo had to avoid being prosecuted for statutory rape after he bedded the sixteen-year-old future 10 star by fleeing the country to Germany until Bo turned 18. Doug mentioned in the interview that John and Bo were married for 22 years and that Bo held John's hand on his death bed. 

I was shocked by Billy Bush's defensive, harsh and antagonistic attitude towards Doug. Not once did Billy praise Doug for getting Courtney's parent's blessing and for waiting to have sex with the nymphet until after they got  married.
