Saban better do something about it or there will be a final cancellation of PR soon.

I know the franchise itself has gone trough many good and bad things, but if the trend of the cast members going into crime mode continues, it might be the final nail in the coffin for Power Rangers. No-one is going to let their children watch a show whose actor is accused and/or tried for a serious crime. It doesn't matter if its an actor from the present or from a past season: this is bad not just for the franchise's/show's reputation, but for Saban's and Nickelodeon's reputation as well.
Not to discount the seriousness of what Medina and now Naufahu has done, but I don't think this will hurt PR in the end. Both of their crimes didn't have anything to do with the series or their time in it. And both are long gone from the series. Rene's case didn't even seem to get the publicity here Medina did.

Now of you have a string of actors continuinally get in trouble, things may be different. But we haven't had too many of these incidents. And none have taken place on the set or anything to do with Power Rangers.

Saban Brands had nothing to do with any of this. And can only try and do good background checks on its future employees. Which wouldn't have helped in tthe above situations since both were long gone.
