...the green light for others to talk had already been given and that actually compelled him to offer something to keep up the interest in his story.

Glad you finally came around to the truth he named names.
Either now or then, he put it out there at legal, personal and financial risk. case it how you like the guy did the right thing. Wish more people would support him. You should consider supporting his efforts instead of deriding him.
Corey Haim's mother has said her son was not raped by Charlie Sheen in 1986
She said her son was an open book and very 'transparent,' so she would have known if the 13-year-old had become involved with Sheen
Judy Haim claimed another man did abuse her son on the set of Lucas, but his name has not been revealed
Haim insists she wasn’t aware of the sexual abuse her son suffered when he was 14 years old until he confided in her several years later.
“I said ‘I’m going to help you. Let’s bring him to justice,'” she recalls.
But the actor, then over 18, begged her to do nothing.

I said it before I even started this back and forth with you so I'm not sure where you got the "finally" from.

You still can't answer why it took him 25 years, which was what was being asked.
JoshuaCox's point was that him stalling placed other kids in danger. That is still a valid point. Nothing you have posted refutes that.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the Los Angeles Police Department announced they have ended a sexual assault investigation filed by the actor on Tuesday.
Authorities say the statute of limitations, which sets out the maximum time that parties have to initiate legal proceedings from the date of an alleged offence, expired in Feldman's case.
LAPD officials confirmed to the New York Post that the alleged incident is “out of statute,” according to California law, and the robbery-homicide detectives have “no other avenues” to follow with the case.
Feldman later responded to the news on Twitter.
The news has Feldman’s fans tweeting their support with #IStandWithCorey and calling for others to hlep him raise funds to make a documentary film about his life.

Nothing to see here .. move along people. Just like the UK police where told to back off when investigating abuse by MPs and celebs. I believe the image below is how investigations are carried out

I think that attitude is awful. An abuser abusing kids is NOT the abused person's responsibility.
They are a victim and they are damaged, other people don't get to dictate their 'responsibilities' in how they deal with the abuse. They have enough trouble trying to keep themselves sane and not spiral into addiction and death like Corey Haim did.
In what I quoted from Haim's mother, she says she also knew. Where is all the hate for a mother that doesn't report it? Surely an adult parent has more responsibility to report things than one of the other abuse victims.

A nut case with allegations against a person who has already been to prison for Child Molestation. Sounds like more Case than Nut.

Thank you captain obvious.

But we can question why he has been teasing with coming forward for so long.

I don't know about anyone else but hate is not something I feel for either of them.

If you are questioning the time it takes for a victim to reveal names then you are putting pressure on them and implying they have a certain set of responsibilities.
You even use the word 'teasing'. This kind of stuff is why victims feel ashamed and scared to come forward.

Yet, the LAPD is reopening it's investigation to look into Feldman's claims. So more "case" than nut job.

I'm no psychologist, but it was Corey's workplace and maybe they needed the money. Also, keep in mind he wasn't an adult and his mother, if she knew, should have addressed it.
