Elijah Wood: 'Hollywood in the grip of child abuse scandal similar to Jimmy Savile'
The Telegraph ^ | 05-22-2016 | Henry Bodkin

Posted on 05/22/2016 7:29:58 AM PDT by NRx

Hollywood is in the grip a child sexual abuse scandal similar to that of Jimmy Savile in Britain, Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood has claimed.

The 35-year-old former child actor said paedophiles had been protected by powerful figures in the movie business and that abuse was probably still taking place.

In an interview with the Sunday Times, Wood said he had been protected from abuse as he was growing up, but that other child actors had been regularly “preyed upon” at parties by industry figures...

...Wood said the abuse was allowed to continue because victims “can’t speak as loudly as people in power.”

“That’s the tragedy of attempting to reveal what is happening to innocent people,” he said.

“They can be squashed but their lives have been irreparably damaged.”

Allegations that senior Hollywood figures have been protecting child abusers have gathered pace in recent years.

Anne Henry, co-founder of Bizparents, a group set up to help child actors, said Hollywood is currently sheltering around 100 active abusers and said a “tsunami” of claims was beginning.

Polansky was a very traumatized child—probably raped during his time in WWII as a little boy

And a pregnant wife murdered by Charles Manson's family.

I'll never excuse what Polanski did but the guy has issues.

Bingo!

I recall an interview in Entertainment Magazine with Leo. His father was friends with (Gosh I forgot his name) ugh...Anyway when the interviewer asked Leo about him. How fun it may have been grown surrounded by famous artist thru his father.

Leo respond “I do not wish to talk about him, can we move on?” That told me alot that this person tried or did something to him.

It’s been rumored for decades that the casting couch doesn’t have an age limit. When you look at how messed up the Hollywood elite’s personal lives are, it all starts to make sense.

These men wield enormous power. They can promise fame and fortune beyond one's wildest dreams. All you have to do is have sex. And if you (or your child) won't, there's an endless line behind you of people who will.

And if you spill the beans, you're finished.

yes. And still all the people who are supportive and even defending and defensive about Woody Allen. Purely disgusting. Many of these are women that frequently attack conservative men and woman for violating their feminine ‘choice.’ Beyond comprehension. All self serving vipers.

Yep, the media avoids the homo connection like the plague. Most of the pedo perps are fags. ...like that vile POS Geffen.

my wife tells me everytime she sees Leonard DiCaprio that he was a gay cabana boy for some famous hollywood producer

she said he made a move or two when he was a little kid, then couldn’t get work, then was a teen-age boy-toy for hollywood

I don’t know where she knows this from, but everytime he pops on screen, I know what she’s going to say

I do believe that the bond between Howood and the rats is a protection racket...protect the millions and lavish lifestyles including their perversions, and the Howoods will in turn donate millions..

FWIW, Alex Jones speaks of pedophilia and the pervasiveness of it and how it is part of the globalists’ plan. Has melt down.

He sums up some of the broad strokes of what is at play with all the bathroom legislation which has been coming forward. I had heard of some of this, but he puts it together very effectively. I so hope he’s wrong, but I am concerned he may not be. God help us please.

Here is a clip of the meltdown. (about 18 minutes)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KtO3DJzWKU

Here is the context of the meltdown. He begins with a discussion of the Pope and the error he is moving into with many of his recent pronouncements. The pedophilia attack on the Church is mentioned.

Well, none of the people who have spoken out about it, like Corey Feldman, (will name names)

Which really surprises me. He was the main bread winner for his Dad, who made him do anything for money, among many other things. He had no protection, neither did Corey Haim.

The only reason, I think, why he isn't naming the pervs is because he's afraid of being called a discredited liar, a complicit Hollywood media and lawsuits that won't end until the day he dies.

I don't "get" DeCaprio...IMO he is nothing but a pretty soft boy and has absolutely no appeal to me.....I like men, men...

there are so many "actors" in the movies or on the tv that I don't "get"...I know that they are there because of some in with the big boys...

Corey Feldman and Corey Haim told the story of the adult male queers in homowood and their incessant need to molest little boys. It was in a CNN interview that Feldman revealed what homowood’s male queers do to little boys. Nothing ever came of it because homowood is simply far above the laws of the little people. It is simply part of the “gay” lifestyle and normal people labeled by the queers as “straight” need to get over the fact that queers are going to have access to their kids.

I read Corey’s book. They tend to prey on kids like him from really messed up homes. Elijah should be very pleased he had such involved parents. It is COMMON for people in the child acting biz to ask to have the child alone in their office. Parents allow this because they want their child to be a star. We need to STOP allowing children to be without their guardians ever EVER in these working situations. And NO parties with adults.

This needs to stop. Pedos need to be flushed out everywhere. Everyone is so scared to be called a racist, when racists (if it’s belief and not action) don’t hurt anyone. But pedos hurt innocent children. It doesn’t matter if the Pedo is talented or rich. Bill Cosby was very funny. He seemed nice, had great common sense, timing, expressions. THAT DIDNT STOP HIM FROM BEING THE WORDT KIND OF RAPIST.

these really seem like the end times....the perversion is pure evil...

everytime we give in to what we call "victimless" perversion, we loose....because there is no victimless perversions....they devastate the victims and they devastate the purveyors...

I've long suspected that a lot of our elected federales are all perverted in some way....

such limp wrists...

Lots of wanna be actors convince themselves it’s okay. It’s at that point that they sell their souls to the devil.
