Former child star Corey Feldman claims that the entertainment industry in Hollywood is riddled with pedophiles who prey on the young talent: "The number problem in Hollywood was, and is, and always will be pedophilia. That's the biggest problem for children in this industry."
In an explosive interview earlier this month on Nightline Feldman alleges that he was molested at the age of fourteen, and his long-time friend Corey Haim who died last year after struggling with substance abuse was sexually abused by an unnamed "Hollywood mogul" who "needs to be exposed."
Feldman says "there's a lot of really, really sick, corrupt people in this industry, and there are people in this industry who have gotten away with it for so long that they feel they are above the law, and that's got to change. That's got to stop."
Of course, there previously have been allegations of powerful entertainment industry figures molesting young boys. For example, in 1975 the NYDA and NYPD initiated an investigation dubbed Operation Together which, among other things, was looking into mob-controlled underage boy sex rings, and according to a now-retired detective assigned to the case with whom this blogger spoke a now-deceased Hollywood director nominated for multiple Oscars was notorious for his sex parties at a Long Island estate which he stocked with jail bait. The investigation further allegedly implicated individuals at the highest levels in New York City politics, power and society, and was shut down in 1977 over the objections of assigned personnel and an ADA as they were on the verge of bringing indictments.

Boy oh boy, republicans are a lovely bunch here -
Sure have been suspiciously — a lot of folks jumping on this man for shining a light of truth on the pervs that are everywhere! (As if everyone already doesn't know!)
This? - This is the way you respond (and so many others here) to a potential victim of sexual, physical, financial assault?
Dead scapegoats are —— soooooo convenient - ain’t they?
I look more at it this way....he was very young in Hollywood so if anyone would know? Perhaps there is much more to the story of why so many childhood stars end up OD’ing or destroying themselves at a young age? Worth looking into....
Nitpicking.
Deep pockets, when do the lawyers pile on.
So if he has information on perverts you want him to keep quiet about it and let that pervert go on doing it?
If he has info he needs to spit it out.

>>> Just look at how Hollywood came together to support Roman Polanski.
“Hollywood” actually didn’t. With a couple of disappointing exceptions such as Michael Mann, the petitions of actors and directors were almost entirely from the European film industry. “Hollywood” pretty much kept quiet on this one.
That there are snarky, slithering demons who taunt when one speaks up, relishing in their further abuse so they can get off again, rape again - May these demons be exposed and burn quick.
Kept quiet except the " Rape, rape" comment by Whoopi.
Your point is? :-))
Everyone in Hollyweird is a publicity hound so you can’t fault him for that. Nature of the beast. But with the history of hollywierd it’s not hard to believe it’s filled with pedophiles. From the Fatty Arbuckle case on down to Roman Polanski raping a 13 year old girl at Jack Nickolsons house it happens. I would bet that child molestation happens more in hollywood than it does in the priesthood. Probably not as much as it happens in the rank of teachers, but probably pretty close.
I bet if someone was talking about catholic priests you would believe it, even though the number of actual priests who did any abuse was relatively small in number and happened decades ago. The media has blown it out of proportion. Yet they don’t write about the number of teachers who have sex with kids every year nor the number of important movie persons who rape and molest children. The reason is, teachers and film persons are a liberal protected class while the Catholic religion is fair game and a target of the liberal media.
So while he may be a publicity hound I consider his statements to be reliable.
I don’t know.
I forgot. ;)
>>> Kept quiet except the “ Rape, rape” comment by Whoopi.
Whoopi actually gets a bad rap on that one. She clumsily was trying to make the distinction between statutory rape where the incident in consensual between the parties but not allowed under law (rape), and first degree sexual assault by coercion or force (rape rape). Either way she recognized Polanski had broken the law but questioned if he was being overcharged.
Her impression was this was a voluntary casting couch incident, which I agree was at least the mother’s intent when she delivered the girl to Polanski. Whoopi however was ignorant of how Polanski drugged the girl. Somebody, probably the show’s producer then informed her of that detail and she backed off her defense of Polanski.
How in the hell could that be a "voluntary casting"? He raped a child?!?! Polanski was the adult and he's the one responsible.
other known hollywood pedophiles include... actor James Stacy, actor Jeffrey Duncan Jones, Michael Jackson, Paula Poundstone...
If the mother was pimping out her daughter, that is still a rape of a child. And if she did that to gain acting jobs, that proves there is a known subculture of pedophilia in Hollywood.
What part of “Either way she recognized Polanski had broken the law” was too complicated?
