Posted by Lorie Orum on Sunday, May 19, 2024

A former NCIS actress by the name of Zoe McLellan has an active arrest warrant for reported kidnapping. 

McLellan’s ex Jean-Pierre Gillain, 51, claims that Zoe, 46, vanished with their son Sebastian, eight, as far back as April 2019, and he has neither seen nor heard from them since that time, per TMZ

In January 2020 however, J.P. was booked into a Louisiana prison ‘for first-degree rape and aggravated crime against nature charges,’ with McLellan claiming the abuse victim was none other than their son.

Court records obtained by TMZ show that an active arrest warrant for kidnapping was issued in May. 

Gillain’s attorney Lawrence Markey told the publication that the child has been missing for nearly two years and is believed to be with Zoe somewhere near New Orleans.  

The actress also reportedly has outstanding charges of ‘kidnapping, child custody deprivation and child stealing’ alleged against her, for an issue that occurred while the former spouses warred over custody of Sebastian in 2017. 

That year the Castle actor claimed Zoe took the then-four-year-old to Toronto while she filmed Designated Survivor without his permission or consent.

In December 2020 he also posted a ‘wanted’ poster to his instagram with the caption reading: ‘Please share and reach out if you know anything about where this person is! She’s abducted my son.’

To complicate matters more, in January 2020, Gillain was extradited from California and booked into the Parish Prison in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana on ‘first-degree rape and aggravated crime against nature charges,’ per records obtained by WDSU

Zoe alleged at that time that the victim was none other than their son and the abuse — which he reportedly described to her in detail and is in therapy for — occurred between 2014 and 2016.  

‘There’s no script I’ve ever read that’s been as awful as this,’ McLellan told WDSU. ‘However, I always tell my son that we are warriors, not worriers, and we are fighting for him and that I will be able to keep him safe.’ 

‘There are other victims,’ she also maintained in a phone call. ‘I am hopeful that they will step forward, that they will have the courage to step forward because there are other victims.’ 

The pair were married from 2012 to 2016.
