日前，曾在迪斯尼乐园与好莱坞女星瑞茜·威瑟斯彭发生冲突的摄影师被指控危及儿童安全和殴打他人。为拍摄威瑟斯彭及其小孩，这名摄影记者甚至用照相机殴打了挡住他去路的一名5岁小孩。

    据美联社10月9日报道，美国加利福尼亚州阿纳海姆市警方称，现年44岁的托德·华莱士被指控在加利福尼亚的迪斯尼乐园殴打了威瑟斯彭的女友、其女友5岁的小孩以及迪斯尼的两名工作人员。

    有着“好莱坞金发尤物”之称的威瑟斯彭曾因主演影片《律政俏佳人》而一炮走红。9月2日，华莱士盯上了前往迪斯尼游玩的威瑟斯彭。当威瑟斯彭和她的朋友拒绝拍照时，华莱士恼羞成怒，推搡并殴打了前来保护威瑟斯彭安全的工作人员和威瑟斯彭身边的朋友和小孩，同时还差点伤及威瑟斯彭。这不仅让女明星心惊胆战，也吓哭了随行的孩子们，当时的局面一片混乱。

    警方称，此次事件要警醒那些千方百计想获得明星私生活照片的报刊杂志——为了得到一张照片而不惜危及和殴打儿童是犯法且没有职业道德的。

    报道说，华莱士曾在1993年因入室行窃和冒名顶替收货罪被判监禁，并在狱中服刑4年多。

    而此次游园受惊事件也不是威瑟斯彭第一次与狗仔队发生冲突。今年4月，威瑟斯彭在洛杉矶的一家体育馆健身完毕后准备离开时，她的车被众多摄影记者围堵。虽然恼怒的威瑟斯彭将这些记者告上法庭，但最后却是获得败诉的结果。

    A photographer was charged with child endangerment and battery for allegedly striking a 5-year-old child with his camera and shoving another out of the way to take pictures of Reese Witherspoon and her children.

    Todd K. Wallace, 44, was charged Friday and was due back in court Wednesday, Assistant City Attorney Patrick Ahle said.

    The photographer also is charged with battering the 5-year-old's mother, who is a friend of Witherspoon, and two employees at a Disney theme park, said Anaheim Police Sgt. Rick Martinez.

    Wallace became angry when the "Legally Blonde" star and her friends declined to be photographed Sept. 2 at Disney's California Adventure and cursed them, Martinez said.

    Wallace was initially cited for misdemeanor assault and battery of the two employees. The incident left some of the children in tears.

    Tabloids must realize that "battering and endangering a child to get a picture for their magazines is criminal and not business as usual," said Witherspoon's attorney, Blair Berk.

    A phone message left for Wallace early Saturday was not immediately returned. He served more than four years in prison after a 1993 conviction of second-degree burglary and receiving goods by fraud, according to state corrections records.

    In August, prosecutors decided not to charge photographers whom Witherspoon said chased her from her gym and trapped her outside the West Los Angeles gated community where she lives with her husband, actor Ryan Phillippe, and their two children.
