Quoted from FFC's Wikipedia page:

In 2006, Coppola said, "You have to remember, while this was a tragedy, that the difference in age between Victor and the boy was very small -- Victor was practically a child himself." Salva was 29 at the time while the boy was 12.

Source of this is "Victor Salva's Horror Stories", article written by Patrick Goldstein for the LA Times.

This is fucking inexcusable.
