"The Powder Mile"

[~Ally~]

I'm not sure, but I think it may have actually been the actor, playing the part of Powder, that had some kind of pedophilia charge hanging over him.

No, I checked it out and it was the writer/director, Victor Salva.

The boycott of the movie was staged by his 20 year old victim, whom Salva had a video of himself performing oral sex with when the boy was 12.
