Questions surround Santa Monica’s Sci-Fi World as staff and volunteers quit and claim that its founder, who was convicted for possession of child pornography, remains active in the museum.

Sci-Fi World, a new 'museum' that promises fans real and replica props, costumes and sets from popular films and TV shows, hosted its opening 'gala' on Memorial Day in the historic former Sears building just a couple of blocks from the Santa Monica Pier.

Huddleston appeared regularly at comic book, sci-fi and film conventions including Comic-Con and WonderCon with pieces of the bridge, most notably the captain’s chair. He'd take pictures of celebrities like “Star Trek” actors Nichelle Nichols, Walter Koenig and Marina Sirtis sitting in it — a donation bucket for the museum not far away, said former volunteers. The restored bridge, however, is not assembled at Sci-Fi World.
