In an in-depth interview with THR, the 'Goonies' and 'Lost Boys' star opens up about his late best friend Corey Haim's rape by a producer at age 11, the pre-teen parties where predators stalked and groomed their marks and the "dark side" of his close pal Michael Jackson: "The man is gone. Let him rest in peace."
A recent interview with Elijah Wood has reignited the conversation on pedophilia in the entertainment business. The Lord of the Rings star later clarified first to The Hollywood Reporter and then on his personal Twitter account that his comments about "something major ... going on in Hollywood" were based not on his own experiences and observations but rather on news reports and the 2015 documentary film An Open Secret.
But another former child actor Corey Feldman, star of such iconic 1980s movies as The Goonies, Stand By Me and The Lost Boys was not so lucky. In past interviews, his A&E reality series The Two Coreys and his 2013 memoir, Coreyography, Feldman has detailed how he was preyed upon by men in the industry. His own experiences were not as nightmarish as what befell his Two Coreys costar, the late Canadian actor Corey Haim. Haim was just 11 when, Feldman says, a man raped him on a movie set. (Haim died in 2010 at age 38 after years of drug addiction.)

I believe they keep it under raps with threats of career ruin or violence. Hellywood is powerful.
The police answer to the politicians and the politicians answer to whoever gives them the money—including hush money no doubt.
This might be asking a lot but perhaps people could petition for a law requiring the notification of parents of aspiring child stars of the dangers of pedophiles in the entertainment industry.
Warning others in private can get the word out without getting yourself in danger.
Remember the Roman Polanski child molestation case? The victim was a 13 year old girl. That happened a long time ago and how did Woopie Goldberg and the actor Reiner who played Meathead on All in the Family react? They came to the defense of their friend Polanski and Woopie Goldberg even claimed that it wasn’t “rape rape”.
I read a short article about that Jeffrey guy friend of Clinton, the guy who had a home on Lolita Island as well as a private plane. Someone who knew him mentioned that he had lots of money but no one seemed to know where he got it from. This turned a light bulb on in my head—what if it wasn’t really his home and jet plane but property that had been loaned to him for the express purpose of being used as a honey trap for blackmail purposes? Men of great wealth could be paying him to lure important men into his trap in order to control them. I am getting the leery feeling that this is wide spread. It could explain how the most unworthy people get promoted into such high places. And what about those madams and their little black books?
Remember that angry father who killed his son’s karate teacher for molesting his boy? And there was also a mother who killed or shot a pedophile who molested her child.
And these b@s@tards get away with it for years because they have standing and respect in the community.
