Billy Bob's Son Alleged Sex Crime Victim

Willie ThortonLaw enforcement sources tell TMZ Billy Bob Thornton's son is at the center of a criminal investigation -- the alleged victim of "unlawful sex."

Here's what we know. Willie Thornton, age 14, was dating a 22-year-old woman. Her ex-boyfriend apparently became jealous. Sources say the ex called the LAPD, informing them his former GF was having sex with a minor.

Law enforcement sources tell us there is an "active investigation" into the crime of "unlawful sex" -- translated, an adult having sex with someone under 18. We're told Willie is cooperating with the sex crimes unit. And, we're told, cops have also interviewed Billy Bob.

BTW, the picture was taken four years ago.

4. TMS why would LAPD tell you this information? Aren't sex crimes involving minors confidential?

5. HELLO, TMZ? Isn't there a law protecting the names of minors involved in stuff like this, keeping their names out of the news? You are disgusting, this poor kids name and face and "victim of sex crime" should NEVER have been printed.

7. I can't believe you put his name and picture on the site, even if the pic is 4 years old. You guys suck more and more every day.

12. I'm sure if you saw this kid's picture today you all would stop jumping up and down about TMZ priting this info .
Maybe he looks alot older ad he lied about his age Who knows not you guys!

It's the 22 yearold obviously nutziod woman's problem and sickness if she was truly aware of his real age.
The apple doesnt fall far from the tree.

14. To Tammy: First of all, It's TMZ not TMS. Second of all, if you read closely TMZ received the information from "law enforcement sources" meaning someone within the department is leaking the information. To those of you questioning TMZ's integrity for posting this story: I laugh at all of you because I highly doubt that a 14 year old is willingly having sex with his girlfriend is a "victim". Yeah, it's disgusting that a 22 year old is dating a 14 year old but it doesn't necessarily mean she's forcing him to do anything he doesn't want to do. Do you remember what your hormones were like at 14? This girl can't be the brightest considering she's dating a 14 year old. She was probably hoping to get close to his dad!

15. It doesn't matter if she forced him or not.the law is the law and she broke it.If the guy were 22 and the lady 14,he'd already be in jail.
