Shane Black is deeply sorry for casting a sex offender in 'The Predator'

Shane Black's initial response to casting a sex offender had unsettled Olivia Munn. However, the director almost broke down while apologizing for his unwise casting

Director Shane Black has apologized for casting a sex offender in his movie 'The Predator'. The director mentioned that he was "deeply sorry" for unknowingly casting Steven Wilder Striegel, whose secret was spilled by actress Olivia Munn when she reported the fact to 20th Century Fox following which Steven's scene was removed from the movie. 

His case was verified almost a week after the Los Angeles Times reported the removal of the scene from 'The Predator' when 24-year-old Paige Carnes informed the Times that she was allegedly abused by Striegel when she was just 14. In 2010, Striegel was charged with two cases of felonies which included the risk of injury to a child and enticing a minor by a computer for which he was imprisoned for six months. Due to her young age at the time of the incident, Paige was referred to as a young Jane Doe, and she stated that at the time, she was way too young to speak for herself.
