A statement released by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said Poundstone, 41, was arrested on a felony warrant for three counts of committing a lewd act on an unidentified girl under the age of 14.

The statement said she was also charged with endangering two other unidentified girls and two boys.

Police said Poundstone was held briefly at the Santa Monica jail before posting a $200,000 bond. The date of her arraignment in Santa Monica has not been set.

The statement said the alleged lewd acts were committed May 19 and June 6, and the child endangerment committed on June 6.

Poundstone has been a foster parent since 1993, and has adopted three children. A Santa Monica police spokesman would not comment when asked if the charges involved Poundstone's foster children.

A statement from police said Poundstone was arrested in Malibu following a lengthy investigation conducted by police, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, and the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office.

Poundstone's personal manager, Bonnie Burns of Burns & Burns Management, said, "I know Paula Poundstone well enough to know these charges are 100 percent incorrect."

"She has been an incredible parent, she's made huge sacrifices to see the children who weren't dealt the best cards in life were well taken care of, and she's always shown herself to be completely honorable and full of integrity," Burns said.

"I believe when the truth comes out, you'll see these charges are unsubstantiated and without merit."

Poundstone began her career as a stand-up comic and currently appears on the syndicated television show "To Tell the Truth." She has won two Cable Ace awards, an American Comedy Award for best female stand-up at the American Comedy Awards, and a local Emmy award.

Listen you piece of shit Witch, don't be so fucking fast to cast the first stone. I bet you feel a lot better judging others instead of looking towards your own faults.

Did it ever cross your small, suburban mind that maybe Poundstone herself was a victim of molestation and/or abuse? And these incidents were just a completion of the vicious circle?

I feel sorry for your children, they need you with them to respond to their thoughts and feelings, instead you devote yourself to the computer. One day you will realize (hopefully) what wonderful people they have blossomed into and how you all took it for granted. How you didn't realize that life can be a gift and how it should be marveled at every day!

I don`t care if she was a victim or not, if she hurt those children she deserves a one way ticket to the graybar hotel....They know how to take care of the baby rapers in there

You are just as weak as Poundstone was BiggCatt. You both cannot seem to separate your feelings from your would be behaviors.

"You don't care", "deserves" those are behaviors that are dictative of your feelings about the acts she committed. Poundstone was a victim (perhaps), yes, but that did not give her leeway to do what she did to those children. But her overwhelming feelings to do so got the best of her.

How dare we try and control the uncontrollabe? Yes, we may feel emotions, but that does not mean we have to behave on them. As human beings we should pride ourselves on being conscious creatures, then why would we want to engage in self defeating behaviors championed by our feelings?


tsk, tsk BiggCatt...(read below)

Fuck you Poindecter. For a second you had a point about me judging her to fast. but then When you mention that "She might have been Abused" that killed all credibility you have. I was fucking abused by my step dad. I dont abuse my kids. Go fuck yourself. And i spend a hell of a lot of time with my kids Mother fucker. Dont ever talk that shit to me again. Im a great father.

No, Im not going to let Poindexter ruin a good week for me. Forget i blew up Poin. You dont know me. Maybe thats why you made that comment to bring across the same point about her. Its just I love kids and if she is guilty then she should be roasted. dont want to hear about the abuse cycle bullshit.


But i do find this odd.

If she was a Middle Class White Male christian what would the attitude be from you? No she is Openly a Lesbian woman and she adopted 4 kids, most likely its her own kids that this happen to.. Someone leaked it out but they wont confirm it. so Because she is a Female and She is Lesbian no one wants to make a big deal until she is convicted, but if it was a man..No way wouldnt get any kind of break what so ever.

Anger out of the blue? How odd...

He was angry about your no one is responsible veiw of crime because in the end every one has the ability to chose their actions, and if you are not capable of controling your animal urges give the children to foster care.
