FORMER child star Corey Feldman has been hit with a drugs charge just days after he spoke out about sexual abuse in Hollywood.
The 46-year-old, who starred in films including The Goonies and The Lost Boys as a teenager, was due to perform with his band in Louisiana, USA, before being arrested by police.
He was charged with one count of possessing marijuana and one count in regard to a traffic violation, according to local reports in Richland Parish.
The News-Star reported that the actor turned musician was not held in jail overnight but that he will likely have to pay a fine.
He was due to perform at the nearby Live Oaks Bar & Balloroom but in a Facebook post earlier today the venue said that: "Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Corey Feldman show has been cancelled.
"We would like to apologise for the cancellation. He will still be coming to hangout and it's totally free".
Local reports suggest six other individuals were also charged at the time of Feldman's arrest.
The arrest happened a few days after Feldman spoke out against sexual abusers in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal.
Writing on social media on Thursday, he detailed his alleged experiences while a child star in Hollywood.
It isn't the first time he has spoken out about the issue and alleges that a paedophile abused him and other child stars.

While he was alive did Corey Haim ever claim to have been raped because as far as I can tell, the only person claiming Haim was raped was Corey Feldman and long after Haim had passed away.
Joe Rogan tokes up live on camera just about every other podcast. They know where he’s at. But Feldman gets busted for possession during a fraffic stop right after he brings attention to this? Set up all the way.
Great analogy! I wish someone would pull that string pronto. Pedos gotta go
Speak out at Hollywood pedophilia,
and Sessions will asset forfeit your car away from you.
Honestly, I don’t know if Feldman spoke up about Haim...No one spoke for years and years...Feldman’s remarks line up with the An Open Secret documentary.
What is your issue with Feldman and his remarks...From your comments, it would appear that you have a somewhat strong negative opinion, but Idon’t know why.
Frankly, I welcome anyone who speaks up in any way at any time.
Someone cares enough to have him arrested.
Marijuana possession? Lol.
Rose McGowan too.
