Corey Feldman: "Pedophilia is Hollywood's Biggest Problem"

I mean, no matter how much you respect someone's work or friendship, if they were convicted of drugging and anally raping a 13-year-old girl, then how could any normal human being with a conscience not treat the rapist with anything other than contempt, disgust and disassociation ?

I don't mean to go off-topic, but over the past 12 months I've been asking the question how football fans can get behind a guy like Mike Vick, who brutally murdered beautiful, defenseless, innocent doggies. Maybe people just don't care. I'd like to know the answer to these questions, but at the same time I'm really glad I don't understand that mindset.

So..this show was aired on August 10th, 2011....I am sorry I missed it.

I notice that no one has tried to sue him for slander or libel, regardless of him dropping quite a few hints on the subject. Anyone who knows the players could surely easily figure it out.

Which means, people who know the scene have figured it out, or already know. The person has already been slandered or libeled. People know who it is. And it makes NO DIFFERENCE, and it isn't a lie because the person in no way wants to touch outing themselves to the world at large.

He's not lying, he's not outing the person directly, and many people in the industry already know who it is. It isn't a secret. It isn't a lie because the person in no way wants the attention of suing Feldman about it.

Hockey players came out, and started outed their star hockey-makers. It took a while. It took a long while. But it happened.

Yes, I know what you mean. The story of Michael Vick's disgusting cruelty towards dogs made the news over here in England a few years back.

While loyalty to your friends and forgiveness for other people's past acts and misdemeanours are commendable traits, there has to come a point when you just can't tolerate the actions of someone whose conduct falls so far outside the moral parameters that we set for ourselves.

Rape and animal torture are two of those actions which I just refuse to understand, other than on a psychological and sociological research level. I don't have the time any more to even make an effort to ''accept'' people who lack the most basic level of compassion and empathy. I think that psychopaths and sociopaths should just be locked up for the rest of their natural lives, rather than being let loose to infect normal members of society with their warped actions.

It's a good thing that Feldman is talking about this because it brings awareness. Pedophiles have always relied on silence and the way to tackle them is to kill the silence. By dismissing Feldman you're indirectly supporting pedophilia.

...there are all kinds of reasons why an adult who was sexually victimized when they were a kid wont name their abuser and/or file charges...

...last time i checked, the criminal statute of limitations was 7yrs in most states... after that runs out, you can still file civil charges but that costs a lot of money and the success rate is horridly low because its just so hard to prove...

for those who think this is a small problem or a non-existent one.. have a look at this banned discovery channel documentary. its about a pedophilia ring that stretched to the top tiers of society. from what i know 8 different people directly associated with this case died mysterious, violent deaths.

"Conspiracy of Silence" is a powerful, disturbing documentary revealing a nationwide child abuse and pedophilia ring that leads to the highest levels of government. Featuring intrepid investigator John DeCamp, a highly decorated Vietnam war veteran and 16-year Nebraska state senator, "Conspiracy of Silence" reveals how rogue elements at all levels of government have been involved in systematic child abuse and pedophilia to feed the base desires of key politicians.

So why have you never heard of the Franklin cover-up? Originally scheduled to air in May of 1994 on the Discovery Channel, "Conspiracy of Silence" was yanked at the last minute due to formidable pressure applied by top politicians. Some very powerful people did not want you to watch this documentary.

I know him through the Comedy Store.

He used to spend lots of time there. So did I.

I wasn't trying to name drop with Corey (I would of used someone famous).

And no, I never met the other Corey.

*Add...I missed the last part of the question.

That truly is the question. I could only guess.

I hate when anyone says "I can't tell you but,".

Sounds just like him though.

edit on 12-8-2011 by whyamIhere because: missed last part of question.

Yeah, I was in and out of the Comedy Store back then. AFTER Kinnison punched out Hargus Hamilton and Mitzi gave Sam a regular time slot. And ..Stories that include a Kinnison antecdote are probably true.

Sex with minors in Hollywood is nothing new. Young people will do anything to get noticed in Hollyweird..
Some people trust managers and agents and then find out,people they trusted to make them "famous" want them for sex.

The innocents and trusting anyone is stripped.

And your not famous. A very hard pill to swallow.

OR your easily recognized from 1 or 2 movies and emabarassed your broke and your career is weak after so many rejection auditions.

Seriously, Roman Polanski is forgiven? He's THAT great a director huh?

Terrible morals there..Careful what you wish for.

ABC has done afew damn good stories of late in regards to children.

For as long as I can remember, we knew Hollywood was run by deviant pedophiles, gays and closet gays, we also know the fashion and music industry is also run by these deviants. However, by saying that, there are still some good guys out there in these industries but for every one good guy, there's 5 deviants.

if he can't offer evidence, only calling this person's name out wouldn't make any difference except to sink his career even further, and he would probly end up buried just like haim.

that's the reality in this kind of situation, take a look at the documentary i posted above it is eye-opening to say the least

reply to post by Skippy1138


You can't expect Cory to name them; if he talks he will be found dead of a suspected "overdose" and alot of people's careers will be finished directly or indirectly. Alot of innocent people will be hurt.

I'm thinking it's possible that Feldman at some point signed a nondisclosure agreement as part of a settlement or something like that. That would explain his inability to out the guy.

Corey has a issue of lying a lot

And there's Pedophilia going on all over the world not just in hollywood

I grew up watching Corey Feldman. He was my era's teen heartthrob. I'm so glad that he was able to avoid becoming one of the destroyed childhood stars and I'm happy to hear him speaking out now about pedophilia in Hollywood.

Many people turn a blind eye to this. They either can't or won't believe that this could be happening. Why not? I ask. You have rich people, access to drugs, and parents who are more concerned with money than their child's welfare. These circumstances combine to create a toxic and abusive environment for children.

Article:
scoop.today.com...

From the article:

Feldman says that child fame can be damaging, and attributes the harm caused to kids in the business to a large, unspoken problem -- pedophilia. "I can tell you that the No. 1 problem in Hollywood was and is and always will be pedophilia. That's the biggest problem for children in this industry. ... It's the big secret," Feldman said.

Feldman went on to assert that pedophilia contributed to the early death of his friend Corey Haim, pointing the finger at one person in Hollywood, but stopping short of naming him. "There's one person to blame in the death of Corey Haim. And that person happens to be a Hollywood mogul. And that person needs to be exposed, but, unfortunately, I can't be the one to do it," he said.

May Corey Haim rest in peace.

I encourage everyone to read this short article and watch the video. The interview airs tonight. It's called "Underage and Famous" and here is a link to a more detailed article discussing the show.
abcnews.go.com...

Usually I wouldn't applaud the MSM, but I'm happy that ABC is airing this disgusting fact and putting it into the mainstream.

I just hope that nothing happens to Mr. Feldman. He's not saying who the Hollywood mogul is who contributed to Haim's death and I wouldn't doubt that he is aware that people are killed for revealing such information.

Let's all stand behind Corey Feldman right now. I applaud his bravery and wish nothing but the best for him.
Love you, Mr. Feldman! Best wishes to you and yours!

Stand behind him an applaud him? Are you kidding? To not out 'this paedophile he knows' in order to protect his own ass is just sickening and an afront ot every victim of his. It makes him culpable imo. An 'accessory to paedophilla". If not coming foreward about a murder I know of would make me an accessory to it..then why not this too? Every child abused by this man is now on his head too as far as I am concerned. NAME AND SHAME is the only way to get these cochroaches to realise what they are doing is WRONG.

I don't know, but when after repenting, doing prison time, supporting Peta, giving to charities, etc will he be forgiven? Do you believe people can make up for their behavior? Should he be persecuted the rest of his life? Just wondering.

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.

If you weren't a Super Moderator, I'd believe you to be a troll. Your post to star ratio also implies this.
I'm sorry if this upsets you, but you seem too angry at the moment and seem to be taking Feldman's comments personally. Cool down and breathe. It's O.K.

Whether you like it or not, I'm a member and just as entitled to express my opinion as anyone else. What I'm taking personally is the notion that someone can claim to have knowledge of pedophiles, but refuse to do what any decent person would do and act to bring those subhumans to justice, and some people find that to be somehow laudable.

I find it disgusting and cowardly in the extreme, and people who shield pedophiles are every bit at minimum as reprehensible as the pedophiles themselves.

Star that.

As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.

I watched the Feldman interview myself, and I was struck by the same feelings as you. You expressed them far better than I could have so I quoted your post. During the interview he kept saying that something needs to be done about it, blah, blah, blah...yet, in essence, what he's doing is enabling it to continue. The only thing that can be done about something like pedophilia and many other crimes is that the victims have to step forward. He has knowledge of a felony (an atrocity) committed by someone, and yes, basically he's aiding and abetting that criminal and allowing the future probability of it to continue. It's kind of like an HIV infected person going around and having unprotected sex, if you ask me.

Yeah, most of it goes on right in the home here in Amerika. Hollywierd is a direct reflection of the deeply rooted spiritual sickness that infects the "Greatest Nation on Earth" where RAPE, MURDER, SEXUAL ABUSE, DRUG & ALCOHOL ABUSE, RACISM, and EXTREME SELFISHNESS prevail...

He's nothing more than a attention whore. He hasn't done anything worthwhile since The Lost Boys. His music is horrible. Of course he is upset about a pedophile 'cuz he has his own issues of abuse to deal with. Just come clean and admit Michael Jackson abused you!!

exactly!! he had this drug daze and erratic behavior. the guy was ALWAYS with Michael Jackson...cripes, he dressed just like him!!! wanted to be him!! i think Jackson had him around to not only "play with" but he was Jackson's personal living doll. He got to dress him, feed him, play with him and sleep with him.

Feldman had some good roles, but he wasted his talent. good for him cleaning up his life, but he will never be taken seriously in Hollyweird anymore. Kudos to him speaking out on the dirty little secret and he may be honest in what he says, but it's just his way of trying to remain in the forefront of entertainment types. Because if he really wanted to do something about it he would name names even if it meant him being a pariah in Hollyweird for the rest of this life.
