Drake Bell Speaks Out On Being Sexually Abused At 15 By Nickelodeon Dialogue Coach

Considering all of the sexualized scenes we've witnessed on Nickelodeon, we can only imagine what trauma the child stars experienced.

Drake and Josh star Drake Bell has come forward to say that a Nickelodeon dialogue coach sexually abused him when he was only 15. The coach, Brian Peck (no relation to Bell's co-star Josh Peck), worked on All That and The Amanda Show, leading many to wonder if Amanda Bynes is also a victim of abuse.

Peck was arrested in 2003 for lewd acts with a minor while coaching the victim at his home. The incident occurred two years before his arrest, according to an LAPD statement. Peck was 43 at the time.

The investigation began after the minor's family informed police that Peck had abused the child over the course of six months. In October 2004, Peck was sentenced to 16 months in prison and was registered as a sex offender. Bell is now revealing himself as the victim in Peck's case, according to the docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.

Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV is set to air on March 17 and March 18. It will center around the toxic work culture of iconic ‘90s and early 2000s shows created by alleged predator Dan Schneider and will feature other child stars, including Zoey 101's Alex Nikolas and All That's Giovonne Samuels.

Meanwhile, Bell himself faced child endangerment charges in 2021 after being accused of grooming and having sexual contact with a minor. The victim alleged the actor began grooming her when she was 12, and the messages turned "blatantly sexual" when she turned 15.

The Drake and Josh alum pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two years probation and 200 hours of community service in 2021. "I accept this plea because my conduct was wrong," Bell said in a statement on Zoom in 2021. "I'm sorry that the victim was harmed in any way, but that was obviously not my intention. I have taken this matter very, very seriously. And again, I just want to apologize to her and anyone else who may have been affected by my actions."

The disturbing cycle continues.
