If you don't have the time (or stomach) to watch it, Entertainment Weekly has the pertinent details.
Edit:
My reactions to Will Friedle's "regrets":

Strong and Friedle recently expressed regret for standing by Peck, who appeared on a couple of episodes of Boy Meets World in 1999. They said on a February episode of Pod Meets World, which they cohost with Danielle Fishel, that they didn't know the real story at the time.
"He didn't say that nothing had happened," Strong said. "So, by the time we heard about this case and knew anything about it, it was always in the context of, 'I did this thing, I am guilty. I am going to take whatever punishment the government determines, but I'm a victim of jailbait. There was this hot guy. I just did this thing, and he's underage.' And we bought that storyline."
Added Friedle, "We're sitting in that courtroom on the wrong side of everything. The victim's mother turned and said, 'Look at all the famous people you brought with you. And it doesn't change what you did to my kid.' I just sat there wanting to die. It was like, 'What the hell am I doing here?' It was horrifying all the way around."
Oh, he was in the courtroom after all? I am very glad he felt the proper level of shame at the time and I hope he carries it with him forever. Didn't stop him from guest-starring on Ultimate Spider-Man and not coming clean to Bell with what he did to him. Pure scumbag.
Batman Beyond is tainted for me now. Forever. This crap did NOT just effect Nickelodeon stuff. It would be easier if that's all it was.
The excerpts from Twin Peaks' Kimmy Robertson's letter have to be heard to be believed.
I'm like "You are a woman and you are victim blaming like this. What is wrong with you?"
I am disgusted and furious.
