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 cant speak as loudly as people in power.
Thats 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.

..Wood said the abuse was allowed to continue because victims cant speak as loudly as people in power. WOW - the EXACT same mentality OF the New York Times. This is how the Times gets away with attacking conservatives and lying about conservatives. They 'feel' the little people can't 'speak as loudly'...
ONE MORE REASON TO VOTE TRUMP... WE CAN TALK BACK LIBERAL ELITE THUGS.

You’d think someone would speak up. The alleged “victims” themselves, the family or friends they told, pics or videos of these “parties”

Whoopi Goldberg used her spot on ABC’s “The View” to try to clear up the record regarding the crime to which Polanski pleaded guilty in 1978.
“I know it wasn’t ‘rape’ rape. I think it was something else, but I don’t believe it was ‘rape’ rape,” said Goldberg, dismissing the possibility that Polanski had forced himself on anyone.
“He pled guilty to having sex with a minor and he went to jail, and when they let him out (on bail, pending sentencing), he said, ‘You know what, this guy’s going to give me 100 years in jail. I’m not staying.’ And that’s why he left.
“So that’s why I wanted to be really clear,” Goldberg said, “cause I want to know exactly what I’m talking about.”

Penn State, Savile, Polanski, etc. It’s not easy for a child to speek up, nor is it easy as an adult. It’s probably the most traumatic thing a person can deal with, and then to get dragged through the media?

Well, none of the people who have spoken out about it, like Corey Feldman, or now Elijah Wood, are actually naming names. It’s a little hard to do anything if people won’t make a real accusation.
To: goodwithagun
Then maybe someone like Mr. Wood, who says he was not a victim, could start naming names.

Hollywood has been a festering cesspool of debauchery for decades, yet nobody has bothered to dig into it. These rumors are nothing new.

That’s pretty much what I meant. That is the “scandal”: that people know but won’t do anything.
The actual abuse is a crime, a tragedy, an abomination, pick your noun, but not a scandal.

Besides cheap lawn care and maids, and restricting guns to A-list actors, here’s yet another reason why Hollyweirdos line up for DemocRats: a lot of them are child molesters.

For a child molester, there would be no better dream job than Disney producer with stage mothers pushing their kids to do ANYTHING to get that part.
To: goodwithagun
True, and I don’t disagree.
But there’s also a chance to bring down the abuser and in some cases, $$$ to be made
See Michael Jackson’s accuser(s)
These bastards need to be humbled and sued out of existence

It would be informative (and disgusting) to research a lineage of pedophiles.

When people go to the movies or rents an X-men film, is supporting and condoning the pedophilia it’s director Bryan Singer flaunts.
Singer hosts “twink” parties which bring in 14 year old boys to “entertain” his Hollywood elite fellow pedophiles.
Singer is a multi-millionaire, and has been able to get charges dropped against him a number of times.
The documentary Open Secret, exposes Hollywood elite’s pedophile problem.

Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy in Media reports that An Open Secret, a new explosive documentary on Hollywood pedophiles opened on Friday night, July 3, 2015, at the Cinema Village at 22 East 12th Street in New York City. On July 17, the film will open in Los Angeles at Laemmles Music Hall in Beverly Hills. Directed by Amy Berg, An Open Secret exposes how pedophiles operate in Hollywood and cover up their crimes. Bergs 2006 documentary on the Catholic Churchs cover-up of pedophilia/pederasty, Deliver Us from Evil, was nominated for an Oscar. The Hollywood Reporter describes the film as A sober look at
the sexual exploitation of teenage boys in the entertainment industry by the older men who can make or break their careers
. [W]ith any luck it will encourage other victims to speak up, and enlighten the parents of showbiz aspirants about the industrys dangers. Several journalists are included in the film. One journalist said his story documenting the sexual crimes committed by top Hollywood figures was killed, that is, censored. Even more shocking, director Berg said she could not find any company willing to distribute her film until Rocky Mountain Pictures, the distributor behind such ground-breaking conservative-oriented documentaries as Obama 2016, stepped up to make sure this important film gets released in various cities this summer. Vesuvio Entertainment is helping with distribution of the film. The film is rated R, meaning those under 17 must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian. It includes interviews with victims and identifies by name those who have been caught, prosecuted and convicted for sexual abuse. The film identifies a pedophile ring led by a convicted sex offender named Marc Collins-Rector, who had ties to the rich and famous in Hollywood. Collins-Rector established an Internet-based TV company called Digital Entertainment Network (DEN). Marc Collins-Rector DENs first project, Chads World, was described by the Los Angeles Times as centering on a 15-year-old from Michigan who questions his sexual orientation and ultimately flees his towns intolerance to move in with a gay couple in a California mansion. This and other questionable Digital Entertainment Network projects are discussed in the Berg film. Digital Entainment Networks investors reportedly included movie director Bryan Singer, David Geffen and Arianna Huffingtons homosexual ex-husband Michael Huffington. Bryan Singer, David Geffen, Michael Huffington David Geffen is the openly homosexual co-founder, with director Steven Spielberg, of DreamWorks Studios. In an interview with Vanity Fair, former Hollywood powerhouse Michael Ovitz identified Geffen as the demagogic leader of a shadowy cabal in Hollywood which Ovitz calls the Gay Mafia. (See The Gay Mafia and Americas aggressive homosexual agenda) Bryan Singer is the openly bisexual director of the X-Men blockbusters who had been sued 3 times for sexual misconduct: In 1997, a 14-year-old extra accused Singer of asking him and other minors to film a shower scene in the nude for the film Apt Pupil. A lawsuit was filed but dismissed for insufficient evidence. In April 2014, Singer was accused in a civil lawsuit of having drugged and raped a minor 17-year-old actor and model Michael Egan in Hawaii and Los Angeles in the late 1990s. Four months later, Egan withdrew his lawsuit after Singers attorney presented evidence that neither Singer nor Egan were in Hawaii at the time. In May 2014, attorney Jeff Herman filed a lawsuit on behalf of an anonymous British man against Singer and producer Gary Goddard for sexually assaulting John Doe No. 117″ when the latter was a minor while in London for the premiere of Superman Returns. 2 months later, the charge against Singer was dismissed, at the accusers request, but the case against Goddard remains active. Bryan Singer with a Twink According to The Daily Beast, Singer is infamous for his Twink pool parties, described by an attendee as wild nights of no clothes and lots of alcohol. Among homosexuals, the word twink describes a uniquely disposable kind of young gay man: Hairless, guileless, witless. The terms namesake is Twinkie, a junk food containing shiny packaging, a sweet taste, and zero nutritional value. Twinks can be bussed into parties, thrown into pools, put into a tiny Speedoor no Speedo at alland ornamentally placed around the waters edge like living, breathing, giggling statuary.

Corey Haim took it to his grave, spoke about it quite a bit but never named names. Tough to name names in that biz. Hell, it’s even tough to out yourself as a conservative in that biz.

The media here never mention it’s homosexual pedophila and pederasty
Just like the clergy issue
But in PC Britain they do
Even in the South chickenhawks operate with relative impunity
Groups of rich men often leading dual lives with beards and kids have private get together and turn out mid teens or younger boys some homo leaning and some not
In Hollywood they just do it much bolder
I saw a fair amount of this from a distance in Jackson Miss and Murfreesboro TN in the cocaine and quaaludes 70s
Pretty feminine boys are what they want and they can sniff them out
It starts with like a job or a mentor
So moms beware
Let boys be boys
Don’t coddle too much and watch for the Hawks
In realistic old America David Geffen and Roland Emmerich and these other pervs would be in jail or dead
Geffen makes me puke
Libtard asshat who is always at the parties but claims innocence and legitimacy
