Bolhem Bouchiba, a key animator at Disney and Pixar for decades, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison.
In Paris’s Assize Court, Bouchiba admitted to a horrific series of crimes, which included ordering the remote rape and torture of hundreds of young girls in the Philippines. In addition to his sentence, the court ordered twenty years of socio-judicial monitoring, the obligation to compensate civil parties, and a permanent ban on working in a profession with minors. If Bouchiba lives to the end of his sentence, he would be 84 years old at the time of release.
