Yeah, I remember the situation. They set him up hardcore. Even when it was said in court that they observed him the entire time in the theater. The empty except for him and the detectives theater, I might add.

Someone higher up in the command chain of people who like to exert control must've hated him, and used this to stall his career. Because after it, he got almost nothing. A few bit parts, and some voice work.

People with lesser careers who had done far, far worse were given second and third chances, but not Reubens. Which is a shame because he seemed like a genuine person when he's not acting like Pee Wee.
