On May 14, 2020, a 13-year-old boy reported to Sheriff’s Deputies that the Director of the Los Gatos Youth Theater, later identified as 50-year-old Joseph Houg, made him feel uncomfortable during a one-on-one Zoom meeting. According to the victim, Houg repeatedly requested to see the boy’s abdominal muscles. The victim ended up complying with Houg’s requests after failed attempts to redirect the conversation. The victim reported another 13-year-old boy who also felt uncomfortable with his interactions with Houg. The second victim reported that Houg requested to see a pair of the boy’s underwear during a one-on-one Zoom meeting.
