At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18)
Actor Corey Feldman, who rose to stardom in the 1980s with blockbuster movies such as “Goonies” and “The Lost Boys” will reveal the names of two Hollywood producers he accuses of molesting him and other child actors in a tell-all book. Beginning and End first reported on Feldman’s interview with ABC news in which he called pedophilia the “number one problem in Hollywood” (a story you can find here). At the time of the interview, Feldman feared naming names as the people he was accusing were powerful Hollywood moguls. Now he has changed his mind.
The Dancing On Ice star admits he was preyed on by many men and he plans to reveal the names of two Hollywood perverts in a tell all book.
The 40-year-old actor explained how at age 14 he was being leached upon and used by men like vultures.
He told The Sun: ‘It was basically me laying there pretending I was asleep and them going about their business.’Corey, who has been clean of drugs for 20 years, will write a book to chronicle all the abuse that he and other actors endured as children.
He decided it was time to open up about the seedy side of the industry after his Lost Boys co-star Corey Haim, 38, died and an agent was charged with child abuse.
Feldman said that Haim, who died from heart failure and pneumonia, was also sexually abused and the people who did it believe that they are above the law. He feels Hollywood have used the pair as scapegoats and labelled them drug addicts and has-beens. (source)
Since the time of his initial interview with ABC, a number of developments took place. Martin Weiss, a 47-year-old Hollywood manager who represented child actors, was charged in Los Angeles on Dec. 1 with sexually abusing a former client. His accuser, who was under 12 years old during the time of the alleged abuse, reported to authorities that Weiss told him “what they were doing was common practice in the entertainment industry.” Weiss has pleaded not guilty.
On Nov. 21, Fernando Rivas, 59, an award-winning composer for “Sesame Street,” was arraigned on charges of coercing a child “to engage in sexually explicit conduct” in South Carolina. The Juilliard-trained composer was also charged with production and distribution of child pornography.
Registered sex offender Jason James Murphy, 35, worked as a casting agent in Hollywood for years before his past kidnapping and sexual abuse of a boy was revealed by the Los Angeles Times on Nov. 17. Murphy’s credits include placing young actors in kid-friendly fare like “Bad News Bears,” “The School of Rock,” “Cheaper by the Dozen 2” and the forthcoming “Three Stooges.”
Additionally, other actors have spoken out supporting Feldman’s claims of rampant child sexual abuse in Hollywood:
“Another child star from an earlier era agrees that Hollywood has long had a problem with pedophilia. “When I watched that interview, a whole series of names and faces from my history went zooming through my head,” Paul Peterson, 66, star of The Donna Reed Show, a sitcom popular in the 1950s and 60s, and president of A Minor Consideration, tells FOXNews.com. “Some of these people, who I know very well, are still in the game.”
“This has been going on for a very long time,” concurs former “Little House on the Prairie” star Alison Arngrim. “It was the gossip back in the ‘80s. People said, ‘Oh yeah, the Coreys, everyone’s had them.’ People talked about it like it was not a big deal.”
Arngrim, 49, was referring to Feldman and his co-star in “The Lost Boys,” Corey Haim, who died in March 2010 after years of drug abuse.
“I literally heard that they were ‘passed around,’” Arngrim said. “The word was that they were given drugs and being used for sex. It was awful – these were kids, they weren’t 18 yet. There were all sorts of stories about everyone from their, quote, ‘set guardians’ on down that these two had been sexually abused and were totally being corrupted in every possible way.”” (source)
While there have been often been rumors of sexual abuse, ritual and perversion in Hollywood, it appears that actual stars in the industry are starting to come forward and remove the veil. Pray that truth will continue to come out, justice will be served and parents seeking fame and money by putting their children into entertainment will wake up and realize the great danger and rampant sin that they are exposing them to.
Here is the original interview:
I applaud Corey and anyone else who will speak out about the atrocities performed on childen in the Hollywood scene. When will his book be available?
