Scott Justin Freeman (born June 20, 1979) is an American voice actor and convicted sex offender. He is known for his work for Funimation, most notably as Issei Hyoudou in High School DxD, England in Hetalia: Axis Powers, Shusei Kagari in Psycho-Pass, Takashi Kosuda in B Gata H Kei, Yuji Sakamoto in Baka and Test, Pierce Aogami in A Certain Magical Index and Hayato Narita in We Without Wings.

On April 5, 2014, Freeman was charged with eight counts of possession of child pornography. On July 30, 2015, he pleaded guilty to all charges as part of a plea bargain, waiving his right to a jury trial. He was sentenced to three years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. In response, Funimation announced that they had terminated their relationship with Freeman, and his ongoing roles were replaced with other voice actors.[1] Freeman served his sentence at the Joe F. Gurney Unit in Anderson County, Texas until he was paroled in 2018. Freeman lived in Papillion, Nebraska from 2018 until 2020.[2][3] As of April 2024, he lives in Grove, Oklahoma.[4]
