Corey Feldman would love nothing more than to publicly identify the names of the Hollywood pedophiles who sexually abused him as a young boy, but he cannot do so for legal reasons, the former child star revealed in an interview.
In an extensive interview with the Hollywood Reporter, the now 44-year-old Lost Boysstar detailed the abuse that he and his childhood best friend, fellow child star Corey Haim, endured while growing up under the bright lights of Tinseltown.
Haim died of a drug overdose at age 38 in 2010 after years of addiction.
[Haim] had more direct abuse than I did,” Feldman told THR. “With me, there were some molestations and it did come from several hands, so to speak, but with Corey, his was direct rape, whereas mine was not actual rape. And his also occurred when he was 11. My son is 11 now and I can’t even begin to fathom the idea of something like that happening to him. It would destroy his whole being.”
The topic of pedophilia in Hollywood exploded anew this week after actor Elijah Wood gave an interview to the Sun newspaper in which he said that there was rampant, “organized” sexual abuse of young boys and girls happening regularly in the dark “underbelly” of the entertainment business.
Feldman told THR that one of the people who sexually abused him as a child is still a “prominent” figure in the entertainment industry today, but declined to identify him and said he had never confronted him about the abuse.
