Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood claims that young actors in Hollywood are being sexually abused by predatory high-powered 'vipers' working in the industry..
The Hobbit actor, 35, told The Sunday Times that the child abuse is 'probably still happening'.
Shocking allegations that top Hollywood figures have been protecting child abusers have circulated widely in recent years.
Several industry figures have been convicted following claims of sex abuse and former child actors - including The Goonies actor Corey Feldman, 44 - claimed he was 'surrounded' by molesters when he was a teenager. Anne Henry, co-founder of Bizparentz - a group to help young actors - said that Tinseltown is currently sheltering around '100 active abusers'.
Wood, who stars in his new film The Trust told The Sunday Times that his mother had protected him from abuse when he first arrived in Hollywood aged eight.
But he said: 'I've been led down dark paths to realise that these things are probably still happening.' The actor, who played Frodo Baggins in Lord of the Rings, believes that other actors remain in danger. He added: 'If you're innocent, you have very little knowledge of the world and you want to succeed.
'People with parasitic interests will see you as their prey. What upsets me about these situations is that the victims can't speak as loudly as the people in power.'

I read that Shirley Temple’s mother would not let Shirley out of her sight while Shirley was in Hollywood. Too many pervs.

The people he could name would have him assassinated by the morning and there would not be enough proof for the allegations.
What would be the point, aside from filling your curiosity?
Go Frodo!
Great illustration, Gustave Doré, right?

“I read that Shirley Temple’s mother would not let Shirley out of her sight while Shirley was in Hollywood. Too many pervs.”
I was just thinking of saying this very thing. It’s a long time thing.
Oh please Hollywood keep lecturing us about what our sexual norms and ethics should be.
It’s been going on too long. I would love to see this pop open, especially during an election year. Too many nice boys and girls have been turned into hollywood’s play things for far too long.
