'Paedophilia Is Hollywood's Biggest Problem,' Explosive Claim By Former Child Star Corey Feldman
12th August 2011
Actor Corey Feldman has sensationally claimed that his Lost Boys co-star Corey Haim was the victim of a paedophile who was also a Hollywood mogul. The Lost Boys actor said he was 'literally surrounded' by paedophiles at the age of 14, but didn't realise 'until I was much older what they were and what they wanted.'
In a special report, 'Underage And Famous' for ABC's Nightline show, Feldman blamed former co-star Corey Haim's death at the age 38 on the abuse he suffered at the hands of a 'Hollywood mogul' he refused to name.
The 40-year-old former child star said that paedophiles were 'like vultures' in the entertainment industry and alleged that the 'casting couch' even applies to children.
The pair were two the Eighties biggest child stars, alongside River Phoenix, and in addition to The Lost Boys, Feldman starred in iconic eighties movies The Goonies, Stand By Me and The 'Burbs.
He told Nightline: 'The number one problem in Hollywood was, is and always will be paedophilia," he said.
Exposé: He told ABC's Nightline that an abusive Hollywood mogul for the death of his friend Corey Haim 'It's all done under the radar... But it's the big secret.'
'There was a circle of older men that surrounded themselves around this group of kids. And they they had power or connections to great power in the industry. 'I was surrounded by them when I was 14 and I didnt even know it. It was only when I was old enough to know what they were. 'They all had either their own power, or connections to great power in the entertainment industry.'

I absolutely believe this.....
I am just so glad that I am nieve.....
I totally agree with you, but 10 yrs. ago, I found out about a case of abuse that basically went on right under our noses. The offender was one of our best friends and to this day, I can throw up. He had been abusing his daughter in the most horrible ways starting at age 4 and it did not stop until she was in the 8th grade. She began having night terrors in college and finally spoke out. When you hear the horror stories of what these children live through, it is surreal. I’m not talking about second hand information but the victim telling you, listening to it, as an adult I could hardly handle it. At first she would not press charges, he manipulated her again, saying that he would get help. Eventually she did, he plead guilty and as far as I know he is still in jail.
BTTT. You are exactly correct.
HUMMM, “Lost Boys” guy. Time frame fits.
See post #3, and Proverbs 20:3. Some FReepers are thinner skinned than Al Sharpton, quick to take offense when none is given. Try and point out their error, and they'll claim that you're attacking them further. It's impossible to reason with them.
Thanks for that statement. I was not aware of any commentary by Lewis on homosexuality. It led me to the link below.
