While Leo was not indicted, being even distantly connected to an young hooker who died from a drug overdose was enough to force him out of television and pretty much ended his public career.

-Loony Leo began life in 1946, as a side effect of [[Professor Borzoi]]'s Belief Ray invention, which brought movie creatures alive and off the screen, terrorizing film-goers. The Gentleman was barely holding his own against one such giant gorilla monster when Leo intervened, taking the Belief Ray away from Professor Borzoi and smashing it. This act caused the film monster to fade away, and almost sent Loony Leo with it, until the Gentleman called for the crowd to help by believing in Leo.
+Loony Leo's real life began in 1946, an unexpected side effect emerging from a theater poster during the discharge  of [[Professor Borzoi]]'s Belief Ray invention. A device which transformed movie characters from imaginary screen-life into the reality of the living world. Borzoi used it to terrorize film-goers.  The Gentleman was barely holding his own against one such giant gorilla monster when Leo, now fully corporeal, intervened, taking the Belief Ray away from Professor Borzoi and smashing it.
 Loony Leo crossed the Gentleman's path several times after that, always to the Gentleman's benefit.
