agreed! kids may not even understand what's going on or what happened for years and years... if they're brave enough to step forward it can't just be dismissed
corey feldman DID NOT downplay his experience. he's being clear. being touched is bad; being raped is worse. what happened to Feldman is bad; what happened to Haim is worse.
+Kathryn Dorsey agreed. ive been felt up many times and i "lost my virginity" after being fed a bottle of vodka and led to an isolated room where i couldn't even sit up and fell off the bed. not ok. but do i call that rape? i think its insulting to people like Haim to call that rape. i couldn't compare my experiences with some truly horrific (violent) rapes.
I agree with a lot of what you said. It could've been worse, but while it wasn't forcible rape, it was still rape. There's a spectrum between it TECHNICALLY being rape, because of the age gap, and it explicitly being rape, because someone violently attacked you, and intended on sexually hurting you. What you described was plain rape.
+maybewise how can you agree with "a lot" of what i said when i'm only saying one thing? the distinction you're drawing doesn't even make sense. your distinction hinges on consent, as in it would technically be rape because they were too young to consent. which leaves me thinking, "what the hell are you even talking about???" 1.) that's not a spectrum. the age of consent is a line. and 2.) violence is not a spectrum, either. i'm going to assume you didn't mean it that way, but i have to point out what your logic implies: they closer the attacker & the victim are in age, the more violent the encounter has to be to count as rape. that's what your "spectrum" would mean. in other words, your point doesn't make any sense.
TheWanderer There's a spectrum on how much the rape was forced. From manipulation, and coercion from authority figures, to violent assaults. I don't know if you're just really young, and don't know what "spectrum" means, or if you just read my comment wrong, but I'm not trying to fight. My point is that rape is more than violent attacks. And what you described, was rape, even though it could've been worse.
What people fail to realize about these situations is that these high powered people are very well protected. They have the best lawyers and know how to "persuade" the judge and jury. It will be very hard to win a case like that. Plus, if he gives any names, they will "get rid of him" really quick. It makes me angry knowing that these people can get away with acts like this.
you are under the impression that they should be treated fairly! These bastards should be killed in secret, that way they can never harm another child!
+malbhet I never said they should be treated fairly. I'm saying it's impossible to do anything to them. You're not thinking rationally. These people have tons of power and money. They have ways of persuading people to get what they want. Trust me, I would love to see all of those sick bastards get hanged.
***** Sometimes it ought to be, hunting down a black kid then shooting him in the head. Doesn't matter if you're convicted or not the evidence is against you. If there are testimonies and allegations the same thing for rape charges. Sometimes since so many people would just say regret isn't rape.
I wonder if this happened to Justin Bieber too...Would explain his crazy behavior throughout the years. Keep your kids far from Hollyweird if you love them.
Shawn Smith Makes you stupid saying that, because that is irrelevant. He is 90% of his time in Hollyweird and his major deals and contracts happen there. So I hope you weren't serious with that comment, I hope you were intentionally trying to be a comedian.
Shawn Smith Neither do I but news and media talk about the crazy brat a lot so it's not a surprise that people know a little about him but why did you reply that irrelevant comment tho?
My hope is that perhaps whenever someone is struggling with addiction, people who are prone to criticize are given just one moment of pause after hearing these stories. You don't know what someone has gone through in their lives. No one deserves to just be written off because they are in the throws of addiction. No one deserves to be dismissed or ridiculed because they've lost their battle with addiction.
mgeek1- well said. Check out this link: ruclips.net/video/7J08COU7n4M/видео.html It's the best 3 minutes of putting addiction into compassionate perspective I think you'll ever find.
Yeah I really don't understand the idea of having contempt for people with addictions. Just another part of the war on compassion - not that it's anything new.
RE: The ILLUMINATI-ists(?) ( i didn't know that the "TYT" channel, had become so conspiracy-oriented! 😮) who *wrote that Feldman would be dead* .. *Feldman dropped names in 2017 on the Dr. Oz show*, including Alphy Hoffman as *his molester* .

Either way: It's twisted. Bottom line: *Feldman is alive.* i liked your comments so you could read this.
Ask me anythin n i wish i cud post u a copy of my mensa letter i recieved this mornin sick of arseholes callin me dumb cos im dyslexic so was einstien btw. 😉 caio
Because they SHOULD report them. Not only is it obviously (not to you apparently) the right thing to do, but it'll help give the victim closure, and prevent future rapes. You're an idiot.
Kappp Gjiio As in Hillary's husband as in several women who reported him for sexually abusing and/or assaulting them then Hillary had people rough them up to shut them up.
Guys he's not "playing it down". How else do you expect someone to talk about something like this? You can't just confidently explain it with all this emotion. He's just mentioning it. Which takes a lot.
And not only that the pedoes who did this to him almost certainly targeted other kids as well. Now that he's mentioned it, other people might come forward who had the same experiences with the same set of people(and his interview is intended to serve as a cue for them) And then suddenly if there are 30-40 of them(or even 10-12), then they can start naming names(because it'd be hard to sue them all and also because so many are telling the same story, it has a lot more credibility with the public) Exactly as in the Cosby case where a single woman alleging rape would have had no credibility and would be in serious legal trouble. But because there are so many, it's Cosby who's on the run both because we're inclined the women rather than him and because he can't sue them all. So he's being both wise and socially responsible with this message
When you try to speak about those kinds of memories, you go into a very strange emotional state...almost emotionless, blank, cold. You remember it as if it happened to someone else. It's a coping mechanism.
he ran away to france because he knows its been run by pedophiles since at least the 1960s. theres NO legal age of consent in france, so you can rape a 5 year old and its not called "rape" and not considered by law to be rape. not even kidding, google it.
But I thought leftists were tolerant to pedophiles. I read an article in Salon.com where they were saying it`s just another sexual preference and we should be understanding to pedos.
the left largely feels pitty for them, they are sexually attracted to something they can never have legally and would love to help them in some way, however there is a clear line when you decided to act on attraction in a way that hurts a real person. fact is there are likely more pedophiles in the world then we realize, many of them, out of a love for kids (don't know a better wording here) get positions close to kids to help them as scary as it sounds, they never act. as i was growing up, i probably interacted with quite a few as a kid now that i know what to look for.
yes, because "the left" speaks as one voice, "they all unanimously sympathize with pedophiles...(sarcastic tone). just to give you a bone, there is probably a statistical correlation between being a pedophile victim and then perpetrator when older
The discussion isn't "is pedophilia bad", it is universally reviled, even in cultures legally accepting of it. Pedophilia is directly and overtly referencing the lack of sexual maturity in the "victim". This is where the distinction in hebephilia and pedophilia becomes important. Hebephilia (mostly) assumes sexual maturity and thus is somewhat more understandable in so far as marriage and child bearing goes. We aren't discussing the morality of "child marriage", or even at what age a person is no longer a child. Here we are purely speaking on the victimizing of someone sexually and mentally unable to even vocalize consent in most cases. Pedophilia is exclusively a pre-adolescent victimizing disorder, and in being so the victims are most likely too young (see: pre sexual maturity= most likely brain function as well) to defend themselves or have an abstract thought on what sex actually is. So yes, while I'm a far left liberal (debatable) I do take issue with pedophilia.
I totally agree with Ana. There shouldn't be a statue of limitations when it comes to crimes, espescially rape. I didn't even know there was one for murder and there shouldn't be.
there isn't a limitation on murder and yes there should be statue for crimes. People shouldn't have to worry about being prosecuted for a crime they committed 40 years ago.
+lilian makori So you're saying if some steals a loaf of bread 50 years ago they should be persecuted for it? Ridiculous. Certain crimes, yes it shouldn't run out, but all crimes is absurd.
+MarkR1957 What about petty crimes? There was a story about a guy getting hauled into jail for a VHS tape he got from BLOCK BUSTER! Do you really want to wast time, money, energy on shit like that?
God Bear crimes like rape, pedophilia,murder in some cases , there should be no statute. however drug crimes and misdeameanors , you shuold use common sense. maybe domestic violence too
I'm surprised child molestation cases aren't excluded from statue of limitations, considering that it can take years for children to develop an understanding of what they experienced.
if your not gonna name names may as well be quiet. Names names helps the younger generation coming into the industry you have an unofficial duty as a senior actor to safeguard the future actors and actresses.
***** They will do everything they can to make his life a living hell as well as for his family, these are some extremely powerful people that are above the law
Be quiet? Or, talk about it as a warning to others entering the business and their families to use caution and skepticism around those in a position of power and authority. And you're a douche bag.
+damrak1969 The first women who came out and said they were raped by Bill Cosby, no one believed them. It took years and 58 victims speaking out AND him admitting on using drugs on women for some people to believe them and for him to finally get on trial (that he'll probably win anyways). He's just one guy, give him a break. It's hard enough to speak out about sexual abuse.
The reason there is and should be a “statute of limitations” is because information memories evidence necessary for accurate prosecution change over time. People can convince something happened that didn’t, evidence can be lost or manipulated and innocent people should also be protected from false prosecution just as the guilty need to be prosecuted.
***** It's fully possible to continue a case even if time has passed, to simply say "no" right of the bat without lookjing at the individual case is simply protecting the criminals and ignoring justice
We are forgetting, here, that things like shame and depression come with being a survivor of sexual abuse. It can take a person years to tell even ONE person. We need to honor victims and understand that taking years to tell is just part of the damage done. Tough situation.
Those of us who are victims know that others may be more victimized than others. I was victimized once as far as I remember (I created a mental block for most of the incident) and as such I can appreciate that others suffered a lot more than me. I don’t think that Feldman should be criticized by this lot. Unless you have been sexually molested, you’ve no right to condemn Feldman.
either it happened or it didnt, none of this "as far as i remember" crap, youre probably the type to tell a man youre pregnant to keep him and then "have' a miscarriage
You can say he's creepy but his relationship with Soon Yi was never pedophilia. She was 21 years old when they began dating. And they were never related in any way. Look it up.
+Herve B Woody Allen was also molesting his 7 year old adopted daughter Dylan. please read Dylan Farrow's story of sexual abuse at the hands of Woody Allen very nasty and sad.
Corey Feldman isn't naming any names because he will end up dead from a "car accident" or "drug overdose"...either that or his parents consented which, sad as it sounds, happens a LOT in Hollywood
I remember an interview with Rowdy Roddy Piper in which he seemed to suggest that he was molested early in his career by Pat Patterson. He made it sound like it was a fairly common thing early in the WWE. It makes you wonder how many institutions this exists in.
Jonathan Rose Not exactly, but at the time Piper was 18 or 19. He was legally old enough to consent, but consent becomes a little fuzzy when there is as much of a power deficiency as there was between the two at the time. Patterson was a much older man in a position of power over Piper's future. I get the feeling that Piper didn't feel like saying no was an option if he wanted to work in wrestling. That is pretty rapey.
Raeven Wood Do you mean what if that is their reason for existing in the first place? Like, Vince Mcmahon created the WWE not to put on a wrestling show and turn a profit, but rather to bring a steady stream of impressionable victims. I find that a little far fetched.
Many jurisdiction do not have a statute of limitations on especially heinous crimes, like rape and murder. Some states (the one from which I'm writing this, South Carolina) have not statutes of limitations at all. Any crime can be prosecuted here, regardless of the time passed. There were some very wealthy people involved in child molestation rings in the 1970s and 1980s, people with connections in contemporary journalism, in Washington, in the Justice Department, and in related agencies. When victims came forward to name names, they literally either wound up dead, or were destroyed by members of the media. A couple served prison time. The late Shirley Temple recounted stories of child molestation in Hollywood going back 70 years. Some things never change.
In many states there isn't a statute of limitations for crimes against a child. I recommend everyone to check out the laws in their own state because unfortunately it does vary.
just read an article on this, he said with michael jackson is a place he found normalcy and felt like a kid again. he said michael jackson never behaved inappropriately towards him. yeah i know. that caught me off guard too.
As has been mention, he has stated on multiple occasions that Michael never acted inappropriate. Which makes me think if Michael Jackson had something done to HIM as a child. The guy clearly had psychological issues and seemed very damaged. Sometimes people cope with traumatic experiences in unconventional ways.
@SuperDuperSentinel - I've wondered that too for years. One of MJ's nephews (one of Tito Jackson's sons from "3T") said he told MJ he was molested by a relative and said MJ cried and consoled him and seemed to know about that relative's inclinations. That made me wonder if maybe Michael had been molested as a kid by the same relative. It'd certainly explain Michael's Arrested Development and protectiveness of children.
So basically I have a similar situation to Corey Feldman on a smaller scale. I have been sexually assaulted but not raped. The people who did it are well respected by many of my peers. One is my age (16) and the other is still in middle school. If I came out and told everyone what happened, I could potentially be sued for making it up (there are witnesses to it but they are either in denial or they are my father who has seen it happen but doesn't want to put in the effort to speak for me in court). I would also be in trouble by my family and countless people around me. Now I don't consider These people my friends but I have to pretend to be friendly with them for reasons I will not go into right now but trust me they are quite valid. I would have my life destroyed. People already have found out and think that I am a liar and others carelessly tell others the names of the boys who sexually assaulted me and don't consider that they are putting me in actual danger. (Cont. in comments)
For this reason I understood why he can't say names. Now a few people know the names of these boys and it has since gotten back to one of them who has tried to turn all of my friends against me. I think it has worked for a few but I'm not sure because I haven't talked to certain people. Now take someone like Corey Feldman. He can't tell nearly as many people as I since he is in significantly more danger. If his secret gets out the way mine has to some people, there would be a huge scandal. This man needs to be very careful and probably has to live in fear like I do sometimes so please let him be. He's doing the best he can.
+Vegan AF ....😵why would you think that you would be the one who has done anything wrong? if you were a victim of a sexual assault you were perpetrated on. Someone has subjected you to a mind stat of oppression, bullying and injustice. It is the justifiable thing to seek out proper justice for your right to live. There are resources for you and you deserve to exist free from sexual oppression. If the sexual contact was not consensual and against you're will, it is rape.
+Vegan AF Seriously, tell the cops. At least do that. There's a chance something could be done if you do, but nothing will happen if you don't. It will be hard, but as one victim to another, I'm telling you that you could be helping someone by at least having this on record.
+Caitlin Eisner it's not always that easy. My parents will purposely make it hard for me to be in a case. I've seriously considered pressing charges but I can't. I would actually become even more messed up. And the way I see it is that it will mess me up and it's better to save other people and use this as a cautionary tale than get one guy in trouble (he may actually be let off free at this point)
To answer your question Ana: There is a statute of limitations because most of the testimony would be based on eye witness and victim testimony which can be the least reliable; and most degraded over time. Eye witness testimony has placed many innocent people in jail. The statute law could be improved upon though. 1. I believe that if there is collected DNA at or around the time of the event the statute of limitations should be ignored. 2. The statute of limitations could be ignored in the event of a confession.
THE statute of limitations also exists to try and prevent fabrications of accusations, where if someone gets raped, come forward with it as soon as you can, but give me a year or two and i can get dna, i can get my stories straight and i might be able to frame someone easier. also people will see me and say "wow after this time he needs justice" and may be more willing to prosecute
nathan hois Yes that is why DNA needs to be collected around the same time as the rape. 1. So it is not degraded and 2. so it is not falsified. It is unfortunate but people too often lie about rape. So they serve as an outline. It makes people look skeptically upon people who have actually been raped.
carmay3600 i completely agree, but i still think that as the rape happens it should also be reported, and a case should be opened, also i was just stating the reasons why limitations came to be
Eyewitness is the worst testimony. It sent Lenell Geter to jail even though he had an office full of coworkers who testified he was at work at the time he was supposedly robbing a KFC: "Only eight months ago the bridegroom, Lenell Geter, 26, was behind bars in a Texas penitentiary, sentenced to life imprisonment for holding up a Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise for $615-a crime he and his colleagues at a Greenville, Texas engineering firm swore he didn't commit. His case looked hopeless: Despite solid alibis provided by nine co-workers at his October 1982 trial, the college-educated, $22,000-a-year mechanical engineer was identified as the robber by five eyewitnesses. He was given a life sentence after the arresting officer, James Fortenberry, testified-erroneously-that Geter was a career criminal suspected of dozens of holdups in his native South Carolina."
she's not exactly wrong, this is a quote from the report: "The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office ruled that Haim's death was due to drug induced pneumonia"
Getting sued isn't the only reason Corey is unwilling to name names. He has kids, he has family. You really think these powerful men who got away doing unspeakable things, so openly, would let it slide by if he names them? He knows his kids would be in real danger and these are powerful powerful people who would have no problem making corey another one of those drug overdose headline. Corey has seen first hand how far their hand reaches, and he feels defeated knowing naming them would only put his family in danger.
They are attempting to smear Corey Feldman's credibility in this hit piece rather than adressing the actual issue! They are defending the system! Despicable!
People make fun of Corey Feldman but I think he is pretty damn brave to speak out. He was a great child actor during a moment in hollywood when films were very family driven. Talking about this has destroyed any chance of him having a real career. As for him being weird people forget he had no childhood. He had no chance to develop the skills most people do during adolescence. He like so many 80s child stars has been stunted mentally.
It seems the problem with Feldman naming names, besides the statutes, is this: Cory Haim is dead. He can't testify. Feldman probably knows many, or at least some who can presently testify to these things, but they are probably afraid, for their careers and probably their lives. But, that being said, his silence is irresponsible because he knows that it will continue to happen if those involved aren't stopped. And yes, it might cost him a lot, but soldiers go fight and die year by year for the most wicked causes, and we celebrate their bravery. Yet, any one of us is able to commit acts of heroics by making stands that will cost us: friends, jobs, money,... our lives. If not you or I than who? If we are unwilling to make a stand, then who can we blame for the injustices around us? Do we just not love our children enough to give them a world better than the way we found it? Here is a thought, and its an easy one: you want to end Hollywood pedophilia? Starve them out! Stop going to movies, stop buying DVDs, stop watching them online, turn off the TV, dry up their river of income that sustains their sick environment. And you know, you don't even have to give your life for it... its as easy as being just somewhat un-self-centered. Just a thought.
Haven't watched a TV show or new movie since 2000 and I would gladly die if I knew it would stop this disgusting parasitic industry. I don't even have kids, I'm just disgusted to the point that I'd rather not be here and would rather check out doing something positive.
But the thing is, he has a family. Would it be fair to drag his 11 year old son into this by association? No. It wouldn't. I see what you're saying, but the fact is; this is something that was forced onto him as a child, it's not really fair to put all that pressure on him to risk absolutely everything he's worked so hard for all his life. He's already done more for this than anyone else so far, and he already gets threats and needs a bodyguard whenever he's out in public. He's been nothing but strong and consistent with his claims since he first talked about it about 6 years ago. This is a losing battle for him. If he doesn't expose names, people call him a selfish coward. If he does name names, people will deny him the truth and the culprit will walk free, and probably spit on Feldman's recently dug grave. He can't win. But at least he's trying. That deserves a lot of respect in my opinion.
I understand where you're coming from, but I too am a father, and I believe the best thing he could do for his young son is to go all the way. If what he is saying is true, there will be many more that this happens to. I don't pretend to know his motivation, or what he may be doing that we don't know about, so I do hope he goes much further... for the sake of the innocence of many children to follow.
Jonathan Machtemes But doing so would risk his very life, with no satisfying outcome. No convictions will ever be made thanks to California's statute of limitations.They most likely will kill Feldman for doing it too, and then his son would have to live his life without his father, so if anything; it would be better for his kid if he doesn't go all the way. Not to mention they would likely use Feldman's son against him, it could potentially put his son in immediate danger. These people aren't stupid, they would know his child is his ultimate weakness. I hope one day he gets the legal green light to go all the way, but I doubt it'll happen, the system is corrupt to protect the wealthy and powerful.
agreed, but we don't know if there were threats on his family's lives. ps: Where are all the Feminist Rape Culture SJW's on this? (or do they not care about "rape culture" when it is actually real?)
+van allen here's one. our official statement is: when pigs explicitly say that rape on a boy is real while rape of a woman is made up or exaggerated, we expect them to go buy a rope. when pigs use rape of amy kind as a weapon in their sexist , wimpy meninist agenda, we sincerely tell the pigs that they worthless, pathetic rapists in the making (rape is after all a tool). we'd like to finish this statement by saying that wether little boys and girls or women, we all share in our find to exterminate filth like coreys abusers who happen to all share a trait in common. End of statement careful who you defend Flaccid One . because you can't decry being conflated with rapist animals and in the same breath defend them, wether actively or passively by making their lives easier.
Calling Corey Feldman " weird , unbelievable " by that trans girl is despicable , who should be going after the criminals in Hollywood . He has his reasons , maybe he was threatened with harm , " she " ever think of that ?
Even if he doesn't name names, just speaking out, Corey may give others the courage to speak up and demand a stop to this disgusting act. He is a brave man.
Why would anyone want to name names? Some of these offenders are very rich and very famous. I'd be terrified of coming forward. It's no wonder that these kids end up on drugs, or dead. I swear, there is no way I'd pimp out my kids for fame and fortune. These sex offenders know that they are protected. They make movies which brings billions of dollars a year. Nobody cares about the victims, because they are disposable. Where there is one cute kid, there are a thousand more just waiting for their shot at fame.
I completely understand him not wanting to come forward. My biggest regret in life was reporting my rape to the police. It was the most horrible experience I have ever had (treatment by the police, not the rape itself) and most of my friends and family either didn't believe me or blamed me for dressing too sexy and walking through a parking lot drunk by myself at night (which, granted, wasn't that smart). But it was incredibly traumatic and I didn't even know my rapist. I couldn't imagine having to report a rape committed by someone who I knew personally, ESPECIALLY, being in the public eye like that. I think it's great that he's keeping the conversation going, but he should protect himself. The way the cops treated me and spoke to me, almost made me kill myself, and that's just police officers, let alone the freaking media circus Corey Feldman would have to deal with.
No industry likes whistleblowers. Pretty much no matter how heinous an act one shines light on, their career is usually over. There are exceptions, but in general the risk is huge.
Ana, the statute of limitations exist because after such a long period, the verification of evidence (and the defence thereof) cannot easily be obtained due to the passage of time. This violates a defendant's civil right to a fair trial.
Shouldn't that be for the DA or a judge to decide though? If not enough evidence can be gathered then that's one thing, but why rule out the possibility of trying any of these cases? If the evidence is there then I don't see how lifting the statute of limitations would violate anyone's rights.
Rebeka Fosit Well, first, it certainly should not be in the DA's discretion to decide. That would cause a huge ethical conflict of interest. Judges do not create laws and can not decide when a law can be in force and when it can not. Their role is to ensure that the rule of law and court proceedings are adhered to as well as to decide guilt in non criminal cases. Let me put it this way. If a crime had been committed, say, 30 years ago, do you think it would be easy to compile evidence in your defense? If you had an alibi, do you think the alibi could remember where he/she was at the time of the crime and what they were doing with you on that day over 30 years ago? If there were witnesses to the act that could verify it wasn't you do you think it would be easy to track them down? etc. We need to be careful not to make knee-jerk reactions in such cases (as much as I abhor the thought of defending the rights of paedophiles) so as to avoid trampling on the rights of the accused.
Jason G Maybe I'm not savvy enough when it comes to criminal law but I thought the DA had the ability to decide whether or not there is enough evidence to prosecute. It's also my understanding that a judge can determine whether or not there is probable cause for someone's arrest. I understand that evidence is hard to obtain, or defend against as it were, after so much time has passed but if there is sufficient evidence then why shouldn't a person be indicted? This is all assuming there is no statute of limitations of course.
Rebeka Fosit But the argument is about statute of limitations and not whether there is enough evidence to prosecute. You are right on both points - the DA has the discretion to prosecute and the judge is the decider of sufficient probable cause to issue a warrant. But neither is fit to decide statute of limitations. I'll give you an example to clarify. Let's say you are a young, aggressive, politically motivated DA that has a rape case in front of you that occurred 30 years ago. And let's say this is a high profile case that could help your political career. You don't have alot of evidence but you know there was one witness in the case who, from police reports saw a blonde, blue-eyed, 6ft tall man as the rapist. This description fits the description of the person you want to prosecute. But you are worried that at trial the witness may identify the suspect as definitely NOT the perpetrator. But you know that the witness has since passed away. You also know that the suspect's spouse, who could have provided an alibi, has also passed away. All of a sudden your case becomes stronger and a lot less risky. Since you, as DA, have the theoretical power to nullify the statute of limitations, you decide to prosecute because of the decreased risk in your case. The defendant has now lost the ability to call witnesses in his defense because of your decision. Do you see the conflict of interest? A similar scenario could also be present for judges.
When Corey Feldman tried to warn people bringing their children into the entertainment business, Barbara Walters told him he was damaging a whole industry on national television. No one stuck up for the Coreys and one ended up dead...please expect more out of yourself instead of putting it on Corey Feldman.
I used to scoff at Corey Feldman. But now I just want the guy to be happy. Dude's got a kid, I hope it's softened and brightened his perspective. And I hope he gets to see this problem solved to some degree before he dies. I have no doubt he'd be putting his life (and his kid's) in grave danger if he named names. I don't hold his caution against him. This is everyone's queue to listen and pick up the torch.

Improper sexual interactions need to be called out , it comes down to the simple fact that adults need to be aware that sexual interactions with young boys and girls can mess up their perception of what healthy sexual interactions are for those young persons
Please get rid of Frances, he doesn't know how to talk properly, not because of his Scottish accent but because he seemingly doesn't know what he wants to say so it's a pain to follow him
+Nick Fanchette This is my first time seeing him on TYT news portion so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt but TYT Sports I've experienced the same issue which is why I even bothered mentioning it in the first place
Not sure what was so hard. The dude talked about jimmy saville and how he was protected by the establishment. Guessing you don't know anything about Saville.
+Nick Fanchette because you clearly are ignorant about the rest of the world. He was talking about Jimmy Saville, a huge celeb in the uk that abused hundreds if children and was protected by establishment and used threat of sue to silence witnesses
+Alex Hennigh he's the only one who points out the actual reason why people are afraid to come forward. He was perfectly articulate and on point regarding subject.
And nowhere near as bright as she thinks she is. I was especially annoyed recently when she cheered the court judgement against Johnson & Johnson because a dead woman's family claimed that the woman got cancer from using J&J talcum powder. Even the American Cancer Society says that the link between cancer and talc is tenuous at best. Ana ought to recognize a get-rich-quick scheme; it's not like it's the first one.
Join The Progress Does it bother you that the claim against J&J is specious? Or are you just targeting them as a big corporation that sells stuff, so has lots of money, so let's sue them for some of it even if our claim has no basis?
qhsperson "Specious," fun, just love that neat little word. I guess you didn't read my post; I specifically said "selling gargantuan loads of toxic crap..." Not "stuff"..."toxic crap." So while I enjoy your vocabulary, your reading comprehension could use some work.
Hes not talking about charlie sheen, hes talking about the producer that was on lucas, his name escapes me. In several interviews he gave hints to the mans age at the time and THE ONLY man who was that age at that time was the producer on the movie "Lucas", also Feldman is adamant that MJ never tried anything
Wrong. Corey Feldman defended MJ in both trials and has always said MJ never molested him. In fact, he said MJ warned him about pedophiles in Hollywood. Corey sensed MJ may have had some kind of run-in himself.
@ApesAmongUs - Dress him up? Kids voluntarily dressed like MJ all the time. Still do. No one dressed them up but themselves. Corey Feldman also testified in MJ's favor in both cases and has always maintained MJ never molested him and had a friendship with him until his death. Why would he go out of his way to defend his supposed molester in court? Feldman has implied his molester was some Hollywood director, producer or executive.
Why is it Cory Feldman’s job to single handily tear down this systemic problem? He’s been talking about it for years and other people know about it. Why is it his job to name names and be subjected to further violence in the name of having a credible story? Believe victims and stop worrying about if they’re too “odd” for you to believe
Perhaps his name would be "dragged through the mud" and ensuing legal problems but on the other hand he would be protecting children by exposing these heinous acts.
Because the statue of limitations has run out. He would then be sued for libel. This is very often the case when young people and women are victims of sexual assault and rape. The victim is often not taken seriously by police and becomes re-traumatized. Three out of ten women will be raped every day here in the US
It's wrong to attempt to shame a victim into publicly reliving the abuse they were subjected to. If he doesn't want to say who did it, who are we to judge him?
It's also worth Noting that Corey and other child stars who spent time with Michael Jackson say that he absolutely did not behave inappropriately toward them and was a haven of normalcy for them during their times of abuse. It's awful that Jackson was victimized by the system that also keeps these stars from being able to speak out.
I believe Corey Feldman. He needs to make the terrible decision between putting himself in considerable danger and naming these names to keep other children from being raped by these Hollywood people. Even if there is no prosecution then at least there will be a spotlight put on the rapists and people will know to keep their children away from them.
If these people had a clue of what they were attempting to comment about, they'd know that child stars of Hollywood won't name names because fear for their lives. Feldman wouldn't get to give a name and keep his life. It is still believed by most that Haim's death was a murder and not simply a self imposed death by drugs.
Corey F. downplaying his experience is a coping/survival mechanism . I also downplay my abuse. It happened for years (7yrs -12yrs old). Personally , if I don't downplay what happened to me, I have to re-live it all the time. No one can live like that.
America is truly fucked up. A kid get abused and because of statute of limitations if they say what really happened the peado can sue them! How can anyone think that is acceptable?
This is why rape isn't a criminal charge in Canada. Sexual assault is and so penetration isn't necessary to be charged. It also encourages people to go to the police who might otherwise say, "well, I wasn't actually raped."
It makes me o mad. This happened to my friend when she from ages 6 through 17. The police didn't believe her because "this kinda thing doesn't happen here" and "no that's impossible" and "you just want attention". Like what?! Nothing enrages me more than people NOT believing rape victims!!!
It's a coping mechanism. You deal with it and keep it small and powerless in your mind. That way you have power over the experience, not the other way around.
Corey Haim died of diffuse alveolar damage and pneumonia, together with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and coronary arteriosclerosis, ruled a natural death. Not drugs.
I was about to comment that statue of limitations shouldn't even exist, but then discovered that people already beat me to it. While it is difficult to actually prosecute someone after years go by if evidence comes to light the case should be dealt with!
I tend to downplay my rape because I was raped by a woman (when I was about 4). I usually think to myself "I'm lucky she wasn't a man. I'm lucky it didn’t physically hurt. I'm lucky it only happened twice".
So because Corey Feldman had the misfortune of being raped he had to spend his life being defined by this? I respect Feldmen for thinking of his family and not bringing this hardship into their lives.
If it was just money involved for Feldman to name names I would GLADLY donate some. He and Haim helped make my childhood bearable and it makes me feel shitty to think about what they both had to go through just to entertain me through my crappy home situation. But it's not. These guys have far too much power and money. How does anyone go up against that?
Also, Corey Feldman does not come off to me as weird at all, he actually appears to be quite normal, especially in person... the more he talks about what he has locked inside of him, the less weird he will appear and the more normal he will become in sight of the public. If you were walking around with a big secret locked away inside of you, wouldn't you seem weird too...
If you're interested in these kind of issues, read about the Cia MK Ultra program. We don't know for certain, but a there is a school of thought which believe this was a program used by the elite to abuse young children in various circles (including Hollywood), through the use of mind control at a very young age. There are very subtle references to the program's activity during the 60s in many Hollywood films actually. Watch the Misfits and Alice in Wonderland. Both have an underlying plotline of a woman being swept along into a "strange world" and drugs/drinking both play a role in their descent. It may sound like a stretch and just a conspiracy, and I am very careful about what I believe with the program, because so little is known. CIA director Richard Helms had almost ALL of the documents describing the program destroyed when it came out. What is known for CERTAIN is that the program drugged unwitting citizens with LSD, sometimes for months at a time, to see how they reacted and how their personalities could be altered. Why? The program's ultimate goal was to convert Soviets and other communists into anti communist figures through mind control.
I read his book a long time ago. He basically outright stated that he didn't want to name names because he has a kid to provide for, and calling them out would destroy whatever cash flow he has now.
You do not know what you do not know what your talking about. There are degrees of molestation, some are worse than others. It does not mean that the lessor is not bad. I have seen his interviews. I am a victim survivor, I as a nurse has cared for babies and children of abuse. and been with adults in therapy groups and have worked with L.A.P.D. ! Corey is a hero in the world of victim -survivors ! You guys do not know what You speak of.
Parents need to KNOW what they are getting their children into! NEVER EVER trust anyone with your Babies and young children ever! YOU are the only person your Child can rely on.. Hollywood is NOT for children period!!
The problem with people talking is that they end up dead or unemployed, broke and unable to mount a fight. This is a very organized and dark side of Hollywood
I have always loved this guy. When he did Lost Boys and Stand By Me, the "Cories" were all the rage; however they were entertained and in contact with some of the most powerful people in Hollywood. He was seen in the tabloids partying with adults and he was still a child. I think that, added to the fact that it takes males a little longer to come forth than females, are what's making him reserved when it comes to naming names and downplaying his own assaults. He is a great dad and adores his kids, so I think the older he gets, the more forthcoming he may be. I think you can almost see it in his body language when it comes up in interviews, that he is not quite yet comfortable with the conversation. I completely believe him though.
I remember after polanski was convicted of child rape and accused of numerous other child rapes(and fleeing the country), seeing all of hollywood give polanski a standing ovation when he won an award...instead of being forced out of the running for it...they gave him a standing O? is that the forgive mentality in liberals? SICK!
Rape doesn't have a statute of limitations in most places. And if it does, it mostly has exceptions if you have DNA evidence. Children under a certain age are also usually exempt from the statute of limitations (again, if they even have one). So virtually all of your criticisms are not grounded in reality. Besides, that guy said he wasn't raped, so I don't see how this is even relevant to this case.
There would be SO many victims who don't speak out in Hollywood, at least Cory said SOMETHING. This Ana chick should check her attitude and not tell victims how to handle what happens to them.
Sex crimes against kids shouldn't have a statute of limitations.
no?
You have a point but there's a lot of liars these days that ruin it for real victims
agreed! kids may not even understand what's going on or what happened for years and years... if they're brave enough to step forward it can't just be dismissed
time frames won't change that
in most states they dont.
corey feldman DID NOT downplay his experience. he's being clear. being touched is bad; being raped is worse. what happened to Feldman is bad; what happened to Haim is worse.
+Kathryn Dorsey agreed. ive been felt up many times and i "lost my virginity" after being fed a bottle of vodka and led to an isolated room where i couldn't even sit up and fell off the bed. not ok. but do i call that rape? i think its insulting to people like Haim to call that rape. i couldn't compare my experiences with some truly horrific (violent) rapes.
I agree with a lot of what you said. It could've been worse, but while it wasn't forcible rape, it was still rape. There's a spectrum between it TECHNICALLY being rape, because of the age gap, and it explicitly being rape, because someone violently attacked you, and intended on sexually hurting you. What you described was plain rape.
+maybewise how can you agree with "a lot" of what i said when i'm only saying one thing?
the distinction you're drawing doesn't even make sense. your distinction hinges on consent, as in it would technically be rape because they were too young to consent. which leaves me thinking, "what the hell are you even talking about???" 1.) that's not a spectrum. the age of consent is a line. and 2.) violence is not a spectrum, either. i'm going to assume you didn't mean it that way, but i have to point out what your logic implies: they closer the attacker & the victim are in age, the more violent the encounter has to be to count as rape. that's what your "spectrum" would mean.
in other words, your point doesn't make any sense.
TheWanderer There's a spectrum on how much the rape was forced. From manipulation, and coercion from authority figures, to violent assaults. I don't know if you're just really young, and don't know what "spectrum" means, or if you just read my comment wrong, but I'm not trying to fight. My point is that rape is more than violent attacks. And what you described, was rape, even though it could've been worse.
TheWanderer Oh, I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to FiercelyGold. But for some reason, it didn't tag her name, when I clicked "Reply".
What people fail to realize about these situations is that these high powered people are very well protected. They have the best lawyers and know how to "persuade" the judge and jury. It will be very hard to win a case like that. Plus, if he gives any names, they will "get rid of him" really quick. It makes me angry knowing that these people can get away with acts like this.
you are under the impression that they should be treated fairly! These bastards should be killed in secret, that way they can never harm another child!
+malbhet
my moral core screams "No. no. no. no" my primal nature growls,
"they harmed an innocent and now they must die"
+malbhet I never said they should be treated fairly. I'm saying it's impossible to do anything to them. You're not thinking rationally. These people have tons of power and money. They have ways of persuading people to get what they want. Trust me, I would love to see all of those sick bastards get hanged.
***** True.
***** Sometimes it ought to be, hunting down a black kid then shooting him in the head. Doesn't matter if you're convicted or not the evidence is against you. If there are testimonies and allegations the same thing for rape charges. Sometimes since so many people would just say regret isn't rape.
I wonder if this happened to Justin Bieber too...Would explain his crazy behavior throughout the years. Keep your kids far from Hollyweird if you love them.
Justin Beiber is from Canada...
Shawn Smith Makes you stupid saying that, because that is irrelevant. He is 90% of his time in Hollyweird and his major deals and contracts happen there.
So I hope you weren't serious with that comment, I hope you were intentionally trying to be a comedian.
Sorry I don't pay attention to Justin Bieber :P
Shawn Smith Neither do I but news and media talk about the crazy brat a lot so it's not a surprise that people know a little about him but why did you reply that irrelevant comment tho?
Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Drew Barrymore, River Phoenix, and many others famous and not.
My hope is that perhaps whenever someone is struggling with addiction, people who are prone to criticize are given just one moment of pause after hearing these stories. You don't know what someone has gone through in their lives. No one deserves to just be written off because they are in the throws of addiction. No one deserves to be dismissed or ridiculed because they've lost their battle with addiction.
Thank you!
Well said.
Right on !!

It's the best 3 minutes of putting addiction into compassionate perspective I think you'll ever find.
Yeah I really don't understand the idea of having contempt for people with addictions. Just another part of the war on compassion - not that it's anything new.
If Feldman and Elijah did name names both of them would end up "mysteriously" dead.
Or die in there sleep, like all celebrities
no, but like the guy who DID name names, their careers would be dead.
"dead from an overdose" **
+Ricky Cunanan right it's either in the tub or sleep... Interesting and they always say that the celebrities were on prescription drugs
RE: The ILLUMINATI-ists(?) ( i didn't know that the "TYT" channel, had become so conspiracy-oriented! 😮) who *wrote that Feldman would be dead* ..
*Feldman dropped names in 2017 on the Dr. Oz show*, including Alphy Hoffman as *his molester* . He finished his book, (dropped the names) *remarried 2 years ago, & has 3 children* , so i'm sorry to break up the..pizzagate(?) tinfoil hat party that wanted(?) to see him die(?) to prove their theories *AND/OR*
*didn't want to see him die* and were fine(?) with Corey holding this list hostage for payment(?!) bc it meant that "pizzagate" was "real, to you"?!? Either way: It's twisted. Bottom line: *Feldman is alive.* i liked your comments so you could read this.
Now watch Corey Feldman "mysteriously" die and they'll blame it on drugs because of his past.

HILARIOUS
Way to tell a rape victim how they SHOULD handle their rape Ana.
Because they SHOULD report them. Not only is it obviously (not to you apparently) the right thing to do, but it'll help give the victim closure, and prevent future rapes. You're an idiot.
Yah peeps wuld just kill Corey Feldman if they thot he was gonna name names. These hosts R being NAIVE.
How did that work out for Bill Clintons victims?
+random69ism Bill Clinton?
Kappp Gjiio
As in Hillary's husband as in several women who reported him for sexually abusing and/or assaulting them then Hillary had people rough them up to shut them up.
Guys he's not "playing it down". How else do you expect someone to talk about something like this? You can't just confidently explain it with all this emotion. He's just mentioning it. Which takes a lot.
It's a natural reaction to play down hurtful memories.
+ACL and my comment is a thought too. Wtf is your point?
And not only that the pedoes who did this to him almost certainly targeted other kids as well. Now that he's mentioned it, other people might come forward who had the same experiences with the same set of people(and his interview is intended to serve as a cue for them) And then suddenly if there are 30-40 of them(or even 10-12), then they can start naming names(because it'd be hard to sue them all and also because so many are telling the same story, it has a lot more credibility with the public) Exactly as in the Cosby case where a single woman alleging rape would have had no credibility and would be in serious legal trouble. But because there are so many, it's Cosby who's on the run both because we're inclined the women rather than him and because he can't sue them all. So he's being both wise and socially responsible with this message
Mm,. EXACTLY.
When you try to speak about those kinds of memories, you go into a very strange emotional state...almost emotionless, blank, cold. You remember it as if it happened to someone else. It's a coping mechanism.
Roman Polanski.
he ran away to france because he knows its been run by pedophiles since at least the 1960s. theres NO legal age of consent in france, so you can rape a 5 year old and its not called "rape" and not considered by law to be rape. not even kidding, google it.
But I thought leftists were tolerant to pedophiles. I read an article in Salon.com where they were saying it`s just another sexual preference and we should be understanding to pedos.
Sexual preference /=/ behavior
Brian Kenney I don`t think all the left is crazy. I`m pretty left myself. A bit more to the center maybe.
the left largely feels pitty for them, they are sexually attracted to something they can never have legally and would love to help them in some way, however there is a clear line when you decided to act on attraction in a way that hurts a real person.
fact is there are likely more pedophiles in the world then we realize, many of them, out of a love for kids (don't know a better wording here) get positions close to kids to help them as scary as it sounds, they never act. as i was growing up, i probably interacted with quite a few as a kid now that i know what to look for.
yes, because "the left" speaks as one voice, "they all unanimously sympathize with pedophiles...(sarcastic tone). just to give you a bone, there is probably a statistical correlation between being a pedophile victim and then perpetrator when older
The discussion isn't "is pedophilia bad", it is universally reviled, even in cultures legally accepting of it. Pedophilia is directly and overtly referencing the lack of sexual maturity in the "victim". This is where the distinction in hebephilia and pedophilia becomes important. Hebephilia (mostly) assumes sexual maturity and thus is somewhat more understandable in so far as marriage and child bearing goes. We aren't discussing the morality of "child marriage", or even at what age a person is no longer a child. Here we are purely speaking on the victimizing of someone sexually and mentally unable to even vocalize consent in most cases. Pedophilia is exclusively a pre-adolescent victimizing disorder, and in being so the victims are most likely too young (see: pre sexual maturity= most likely brain function as well) to defend themselves or have an abstract thought on what sex actually is.
So yes, while I'm a far left liberal (debatable) I do take issue with pedophilia.
I totally agree with Ana. There shouldn't be a statue of limitations when it comes to crimes, espescially rape. I didn't even know there was one for murder and there shouldn't be.
there isn't a limitation on murder and yes there should be statue for crimes. People shouldn't have to worry about being prosecuted for a crime they committed 40 years ago.
Wade Schipprack yes they should. If you committed a crime then you should suffer consequences.
+lilian makori
So you're saying if some steals a loaf of bread 50 years ago they should be persecuted for it? Ridiculous. Certain crimes, yes it shouldn't run out, but all crimes is absurd.
***** thanks
Wade Schipprack not petty crimes but serious ones like murder and rape, I don't think should have a statute of limitations.
There should be no statue of limitations on crimes involving children.
There should be no statute of limitations on crimes involving anyone.
Statute, not statue.
right on both counts
+MarkR1957 What about petty crimes? There was a story about a guy getting hauled into jail for a VHS tape he got from BLOCK BUSTER! Do you really want to wast time, money, energy on shit like that?
God Bear
and you r right there
God Bear
crimes like rape, pedophilia,murder in some cases , there should be no statute. however drug crimes and misdeameanors , you shuold use common sense. maybe domestic violence too
Corey spoke on this YEARS Ago, and they Laughed at him!!!
I'm surprised child molestation cases aren't excluded from statue of limitations, considering that it can take years for children to develop an understanding of what they experienced.
if your not gonna name names may as well be quiet. Names names helps the younger generation coming into the industry you have an unofficial duty as a senior actor to safeguard the future actors and actresses.
They will kill him and his family
***** They will do everything they can to make his life a living hell as well as for his family, these are some extremely powerful people that are above the law
Be quiet?
Or, talk about it as a warning to others entering the business and their families to use caution and skepticism around those in a position of power and authority.
And you're a douche bag.
He never said that..in fact he said the opposite and explained how the publishers refused to do so.
+damrak1969 The first women who came out and said they were raped by Bill Cosby, no one believed them. It took years and 58 victims speaking out AND him admitting on using drugs on women for some people to believe them and for him to finally get on trial (that he'll probably win anyways). He's just one guy, give him a break. It's hard enough to speak out about sexual abuse.
Thank you Corey for defending Michael Jackson who I know never hurt any children and yet the media dragged his name through the mud FOR YEARS.
ann landers He doesn’t support MJ anymore
The reason there is and should be a “statute of limitations” is because information memories evidence necessary for accurate prosecution change over time. People can convince something happened that didn’t, evidence can be lost or manipulated and innocent people should also be protected from false prosecution just as the guilty need to be prosecuted.
no
+askjiir he's not wrong here. There has to be a statue of limitations.
not to mention any evidence is just gone.
***** It's fully possible to continue a case even if time has passed, to simply say "no" right of the bat without lookjing at the individual case is simply protecting the criminals and ignoring justice
We are forgetting, here, that things like shame and depression come with being a survivor of sexual abuse. It can take a person years to tell even ONE person. We need to honor victims and understand that taking years to tell is just part of the damage done. Tough situation.
he probably doesn't want to name people cause the. he would get sued and lose money without Evidence at this point
Thank you! Quite obvious why he can't reveal names. Every person he calls out would sue him and ruin any chance of having a normal life again.
Yes, they would sue him and if he managed to survive that they'd find a way to kill him. Don't fool yourself.
Those of us who are victims know that others may be more victimized than others. I was victimized once as far as I remember (I created a mental block for most of the incident) and as such I can appreciate that others suffered a lot more than me. I don’t think that Feldman should be criticized by this lot. Unless you have been sexually molested, you’ve no right to condemn Feldman.
either it happened or it didnt, none of this "as far as i remember" crap, youre probably the type to tell a man youre pregnant to keep him and then "have' a miscarriage
Woody Allen, who gets a standing ovation from Hollywood.
I thought I was the only one disturbed by woody allen because seems like nobody talks about it. He's a weird guy
You can say he's creepy but his relationship with Soon Yi was never pedophilia. She was 21 years old when they began dating. And they were never related in any way. Look it up.
Herve B sure, it was only at 21 when he started finding her attractive.
+Herve B Woody Allen was also molesting his 7 year old adopted daughter Dylan. please read Dylan Farrow's story of sexual abuse at the hands of Woody Allen very nasty and sad.
Corey Feldman isn't naming any names because he will end up dead from a "car accident" or "drug overdose"...either that or his parents consented which, sad as it sounds, happens a LOT in Hollywood
And yet..(Still Alive. Recently remarried.) Hmmm.
I remember an interview with Rowdy Roddy Piper in which he seemed to suggest that he was molested early in his career by Pat Patterson. He made it sound like it was a fairly common thing early in the WWE. It makes you wonder how many institutions this exists in.
Jonathan Rose Not exactly, but at the time Piper was 18 or 19. He was legally old enough to consent, but consent becomes a little fuzzy when there is as much of a power deficiency as there was between the two at the time. Patterson was a much older man in a position of power over Piper's future. I get the feeling that Piper didn't feel like saying no was an option if he wanted to work in wrestling. That is pretty rapey.
What if that's what all these institutions were based on?
Raeven Wood Do you mean what if that is their reason for existing in the first place? Like, Vince Mcmahon created the WWE not to put on a wrestling show and turn a profit, but rather to bring a steady stream of impressionable victims. I find that a little far fetched.

Many jurisdiction do not have a statute of limitations on especially heinous crimes, like rape and murder. Some states (the one from which I'm writing this, South Carolina) have not statutes of limitations at all. Any crime can be prosecuted here, regardless of the time passed.
There were some very wealthy people involved in child molestation rings in the 1970s and 1980s, people with connections in contemporary journalism, in Washington, in the Justice Department, and in related agencies. When victims came forward to name names, they literally either wound up dead, or were destroyed by members of the media. A couple served prison time.
The late Shirley Temple recounted stories of child molestation in Hollywood going back 70 years. Some things never change.
In many states there isn't a statute of limitations for crimes against a child. I recommend everyone to check out the laws in their own state because unfortunately it does vary.
Michael Jackson spent A LOT of time with Corey.
Let that sink in ...
when are white people going to let that smear go?
just read an article on this, he said with michael jackson is a place he found normalcy and felt like a kid again. he said michael jackson never behaved inappropriately towards him. yeah i know. that caught me off guard too.
As has been mention, he has stated on multiple occasions that Michael never acted inappropriate. Which makes me think if Michael Jackson had something done to HIM as a child. The guy clearly had psychological issues and seemed very damaged. Sometimes people cope with traumatic experiences in unconventional ways.
@SuperDuperSentinel - I've wondered that too for years. One of MJ's nephews (one of Tito Jackson's sons from "3T") said he told MJ he was molested by a relative and said MJ cried and consoled him and seemed to know about that relative's inclinations. That made me wonder if maybe Michael had been molested as a kid by the same relative. It'd certainly explain Michael's Arrested Development and protectiveness of children.
+N.W.A. What does this have to do with skin color?
People are stupid if they don't believe him (corey)
Eileen Severa how its all allegations
So basically I have a similar situation to Corey Feldman on a smaller scale. I have been sexually assaulted but not raped. The people who did it are well respected by many of my peers. One is my age (16) and the other is still in middle school. If I came out and told everyone what happened, I could potentially be sued for making it up (there are witnesses to it but they are either in denial or they are my father who has seen it happen but doesn't want to put in the effort to speak for me in court). I would also be in trouble by my family and countless people around me. Now I don't consider These people my friends but I have to pretend to be friendly with them for reasons I will not go into right now but trust me they are quite valid. I would have my life destroyed. People already have found out and think that I am a liar and others carelessly tell others the names of the boys who sexually assaulted me and don't consider that they are putting me in actual danger. (Cont. in comments)
For this reason I understood why he can't say names. Now a few people know the names of these boys and it has since gotten back to one of them who has tried to turn all of my friends against me. I think it has worked for a few but I'm not sure because I haven't talked to certain people. Now take someone like Corey Feldman. He can't tell nearly as many people as I since he is in significantly more danger. If his secret gets out the way mine has to some people, there would be a huge scandal. This man needs to be very careful and probably has to live in fear like I do sometimes so please let him be. He's doing the best he can.
+Vegan AF ....😵why would you think that you would be the one who has done anything wrong? if you were a victim of a sexual assault you were perpetrated on. Someone has subjected you to a mind stat of oppression, bullying and injustice. It is the justifiable thing to seek out proper justice for your right to live. There are resources for you and you deserve to exist free from sexual oppression. If the sexual contact was not consensual and against you're will, it is rape.
+Vegan AF Seriously, tell the cops. At least do that. There's a chance something could be done if you do, but nothing will happen if you don't. It will be hard, but as one victim to another, I'm telling you that you could be helping someone by at least having this on record.
+Khuut-Ra X it was not rape just sexual assault but still you're right! The world is a ridiculous place sometimes.
+Caitlin Eisner it's not always that easy. My parents will purposely make it hard for me to be in a case. I've seriously considered pressing charges but I can't. I would actually become even more messed up. And the way I see it is that it will mess me up and it's better to save other people and use this as a cautionary tale than get one guy in trouble (he may actually be let off free at this point)
To answer your question Ana: There is a statute of limitations because most of the testimony would be based on eye witness and victim testimony which can be the least reliable; and most degraded over time. Eye witness testimony has placed many innocent people in jail.
The statute law could be improved upon though.
1. I believe that if there is collected DNA at or around the time of the event the statute of limitations should be ignored.
2. The statute of limitations could be ignored in the event of a confession.
THE statute of limitations also exists to try and prevent fabrications of accusations, where if someone gets raped, come forward with it as soon as you can, but give me a year or two and i can get dna, i can get my stories straight and i might be able to frame someone easier. also people will see me and say "wow after this time he needs justice" and may be more willing to prosecute
nathan hois Yes that is why DNA needs to be collected around the same time as the rape. 1. So it is not degraded and 2. so it is not falsified. It is unfortunate but people too often lie about rape. So they serve as an outline. It makes people look skeptically upon people who have actually been raped.
carmay3600 i completely agree, but i still think that as the rape happens it should also be reported, and a case should be opened, also i was just stating the reasons why limitations came to be
Eyewitness is the worst testimony. It sent Lenell Geter to jail even though he had an office full of coworkers who testified he was at work at the time he was supposedly robbing a KFC:
"Only eight months ago the bridegroom, Lenell Geter, 26, was behind bars
in a Texas penitentiary, sentenced to life imprisonment for holding up a
Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise for $615-a crime he and his colleagues
at a Greenville, Texas engineering firm swore he didn't commit. His
case looked hopeless: Despite solid alibis provided by nine co-workers
at his October 1982 trial, the college-educated, $22,000-a-year
mechanical engineer was identified as the robber by five eyewitnesses.
He was given a life sentence after the arresting officer, James
Fortenberry, testified-erroneously-that Geter was a career criminal
suspected of dozens of holdups in his native South Carolina."
Haim didn't die of an overdose !!!
That's what I'm saying she need to do more research
she's not exactly wrong, this is a quote from the report: "The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office ruled that Haim's death was due to drug induced pneumonia"
That's what was written in Canadian NewPapers. Please share the source. What did he pass away off?
+Tonytrekdax True, but it's still not an overdose. when you hear overdose you think of one thing not drug induced pneumonia.
You're correct, it was Pneumonia!
Getting sued isn't the only reason Corey is unwilling to name names. He has kids, he has family. You really think these powerful men who got away doing unspeakable things, so openly, would let it slide by if he names them? He knows his kids would be in real danger and these are powerful powerful people who would have no problem making corey another one of those drug overdose headline. Corey has seen first hand how far their hand reaches, and he feels defeated knowing naming them would only put his family in danger.
They are attempting to smear Corey Feldman's credibility in this hit piece rather than adressing the actual issue! They are defending the system! Despicable!
People make fun of Corey Feldman but I think he is pretty damn brave to speak out. He was a great child actor during a moment in hollywood when films were very family driven. Talking about this has destroyed any chance of him having a real career. As for him being weird people forget he had no childhood. He had no chance to develop the skills most people do during adolescence. He like so many 80s child stars has been stunted mentally.
It seems the problem with Feldman naming names, besides the statutes, is this: Cory Haim is dead. He can't testify. Feldman probably knows many, or at least some who can presently testify to these things, but they are probably afraid, for their careers and probably their lives. But, that being said, his silence is irresponsible because he knows that it will continue to happen if those involved aren't stopped. And yes, it might cost him a lot, but soldiers go fight and die year by year for the most wicked causes, and we celebrate their bravery. Yet, any one of us is able to commit acts of heroics by making stands that will cost us: friends, jobs, money,... our lives. If not you or I than who? If we are unwilling to make a stand, then who can we blame for the injustices around us? Do we just not love our children enough to give them a world better than the way we found it? Here is a thought, and its an easy one: you want to end Hollywood pedophilia? Starve them out! Stop going to movies, stop buying DVDs, stop watching them online, turn off the TV, dry up their river of income that sustains their sick environment. And you know, you don't even have to give your life for it... its as easy as being just somewhat un-self-centered. Just a thought.
This is true. It seems few have the willingness either.
Haven't watched a TV show or new movie since 2000 and I would gladly die if I knew it would stop this disgusting parasitic industry. I don't even have kids, I'm just disgusted to the point that I'd rather not be here and would rather check out doing something positive.
But the thing is, he has a family. Would it be fair to drag his 11 year old son into this by association? No. It wouldn't. I see what you're saying, but the fact is; this is something that was forced onto him as a child, it's not really fair to put all that pressure on him to risk absolutely everything he's worked so hard for all his life. He's already done more for this than anyone else so far, and he already gets threats and needs a bodyguard whenever he's out in public. He's been nothing but strong and consistent with his claims since he first talked about it about 6 years ago. This is a losing battle for him. If he doesn't expose names, people call him a selfish coward. If he does name names, people will deny him the truth and the culprit will walk free, and probably spit on Feldman's recently dug grave. He can't win. But at least he's trying. That deserves a lot of respect in my opinion.
I understand where you're coming from, but I too am a father, and I believe the best thing he could do for his young son is to go all the way. If what he is saying is true, there will be many more that this happens to. I don't pretend to know his motivation, or what he may be doing that we don't know about, so I do hope he goes much further... for the sake of the innocence of many children to follow.
Jonathan Machtemes But doing so would risk his very life, with no satisfying outcome. No convictions will ever be made thanks to California's statute of limitations.They most likely will kill Feldman for doing it too, and then his son would have to live his life without his father, so if anything; it would be better for his kid if he doesn't go all the way. Not to mention they would likely use Feldman's son against him, it could potentially put his son in immediate danger. These people aren't stupid, they would know his child is his ultimate weakness. I hope one day he gets the legal green light to go all the way, but I doubt it'll happen, the system is corrupt to protect the wealthy and powerful.
As he remains silent because he doesn't want to deal with legal consequences other children are being raped and he could stop it by speaking up.
agreed, but we don't know if there were threats on his family's lives.
ps: Where are all the Feminist Rape Culture SJW's on this? (or do they not care about "rape culture" when it is actually real?)
+van allen here's one. our official statement is: when pigs explicitly say that rape on a boy is real while rape of a woman is made up or exaggerated, we expect them to go buy a rope. when pigs use rape of amy kind as a weapon in their sexist , wimpy meninist agenda, we sincerely tell the pigs that they worthless, pathetic rapists in the making (rape is after all a tool). we'd like to finish this statement by saying that wether little boys and girls or women, we all share in our find to exterminate filth like coreys abusers who happen to all share a trait in common. End of statement
careful who you defend Flaccid One . because you can't decry being conflated with rapist animals and in the same breath defend them, wether actively or passively by making their lives easier.
My ass was raped as a child
Calling Corey Feldman " weird , unbelievable " by that trans girl is despicable , who should be going after the criminals in Hollywood . He has his reasons , maybe he was threatened with harm , " she " ever think of that ?
Attacking someone over their identity is uncalled for. She has a name and it was shown on the screen.
in all honesty the reason why he won't say names, because they will either kill him or his loved ones.
Another case of victimizing the victim.
Even if he doesn't name names, just speaking out, Corey may give others the courage to speak up and demand a stop to this disgusting act. He is a brave man.
1:34 You don't get to tell other people how they should handle their grief/emotions
Why would anyone want to name names? Some of these offenders are very rich and very famous. I'd be terrified of coming forward. It's no wonder that these kids end up on drugs, or dead. I swear, there is no way I'd pimp out my kids for fame and fortune. These sex offenders know that they are protected. They make movies which brings billions of dollars a year. Nobody cares about the victims, because they are disposable. Where there is one cute kid, there are a thousand more just waiting for their shot at fame.
I completely understand him not wanting to come forward. My biggest regret in life was reporting my rape to the police. It was the most horrible experience I have ever had (treatment by the police, not the rape itself) and most of my friends and family either didn't believe me or blamed me for dressing too sexy and walking through a parking lot drunk by myself at night (which, granted, wasn't that smart). But it was incredibly traumatic and I didn't even know my rapist. I couldn't imagine having to report a rape committed by someone who I knew personally, ESPECIALLY, being in the public eye like that. I think it's great that he's keeping the conversation going, but he should protect himself. The way the cops treated me and spoke to me, almost made me kill myself, and that's just police officers, let alone the freaking media circus Corey Feldman would have to deal with.
Power corrupts and absolute power, Absolutely Corrupts. The minds are warped and twisted. Any flaws of character is exacerbated by power.
why wouldn't he name names, those people can't be tried?
No industry likes whistleblowers. Pretty much no matter how heinous an act one shines light on, their career is usually over. There are exceptions, but in general the risk is huge.
If he names names, and then dozens of other people decide to come forward as well like with Bill Cosby, they won't be able to do anything.
exactly
Ana, the statute of limitations exist because after such a long period, the verification of evidence (and the defence thereof) cannot easily be obtained due to the passage of time. This violates a defendant's civil right to a fair trial.
Shouldn't that be for the DA or a judge to decide though? If not enough evidence can be gathered then that's one thing, but why rule out the possibility of trying any of these cases? If the evidence is there then I don't see how lifting the statute of limitations would violate anyone's rights.
Without a DNA test, mark of violence or confession from the rapist, rape is always hard to prouve even if it happen yesterday.
Rebeka Fosit Well, first, it certainly should not be in the DA's discretion to decide. That would cause a huge ethical conflict of interest. Judges do not create laws and can not decide when a law can be in force and when it can not. Their role is to ensure that the rule of law and court proceedings are adhered to as well as to decide guilt in non criminal cases.
Let me put it this way. If a crime had been committed, say, 30 years ago, do you think it would be easy to compile evidence in your defense? If you had an alibi, do you think the alibi could remember where he/she was at the time of the crime and what they were doing with you on that day over 30 years ago? If there were witnesses to the act that could verify it wasn't you do you think it would be easy to track them down? etc.
We need to be careful not to make knee-jerk reactions in such cases (as much as I abhor the thought of defending the rights of paedophiles) so as to avoid trampling on the rights of the accused.
Jason G
Maybe I'm not savvy enough when it comes to criminal law but I thought the DA had the ability to decide whether or not there is enough evidence to prosecute. It's also my understanding that a judge can determine whether or not there is probable cause for someone's arrest. I understand that evidence is hard to obtain, or defend against as it were, after so much time has passed but if there is sufficient evidence then why shouldn't a person be indicted? This is all assuming there is no statute of limitations of course.
Rebeka Fosit But the argument is about statute of limitations and not whether there is enough evidence to prosecute. You are right on both points - the DA has the discretion to prosecute and the judge is the decider of sufficient probable cause to issue a warrant. But neither is fit to decide statute of limitations. I'll give you an example to clarify.
Let's say you are a young, aggressive, politically motivated DA that has a rape case in front of you that occurred 30 years ago. And let's say this is a high profile case that could help your political career. You don't have alot of evidence but you know there was one witness in the case who, from police reports saw a blonde, blue-eyed, 6ft tall man as the rapist. This description fits the description of the person you want to prosecute. But you are worried that at trial the witness may identify the suspect as definitely NOT the perpetrator. But you know that the witness has since passed away. You also know that the suspect's spouse, who could have provided an alibi, has also passed away. All of a sudden your case becomes stronger and a lot less risky. Since you, as DA, have the theoretical power to nullify the statute of limitations, you decide to prosecute because of the decreased risk in your case. The defendant has now lost the ability to call witnesses in his defense because of your decision. Do you see the conflict of interest? A similar scenario could also be present for judges.
When Corey Feldman tried to warn people bringing their children into the entertainment business, Barbara Walters told him he was damaging a whole industry on national television. No one stuck up for the Coreys and one ended up dead...please expect more out of yourself instead of putting it on Corey Feldman.
Of course he's a weird guy - he's been abused! It's not his fault.
sometimes no touching ..can still be sexual abuse
HAHA like when your peepee gets Vadered?
***** fool
A host of various situations could be possible which i dont feel like listing
After all this came out, people still don't believe in the *PIZZA-GATE CLAIMS?*
jus goes to show- when u have the $$$- the rules dont apply to you. very sad-
I used to scoff at Corey Feldman. But now I just want the guy to be happy. Dude's got a kid, I hope it's softened and brightened his perspective. And I hope he gets to see this problem solved to some degree before he dies.
I have no doubt he'd be putting his life (and his kid's) in grave danger if he named names. I don't hold his caution against him. This is everyone's queue to listen and pick up the torch.
RE: The ILLUMINATI-ists(?) ( i didn't know that the "TYT" channel, had become so conspiracy-oriented! 😮) who *wrote that Feldman would be dead* ..
*Feldman dropped names in 2017 on the Dr. Oz show*, including Alphy Hoffman as *his molester* . He finished his book, (dropped the names) *remarried 2 years ago, & has 3 children* , so i'm sorry to break up the..pizzagate(?) tinfoil hat party that wanted(?) to see him die(?) to prove their theories *AND/OR*
*didn't want to see him die* and were fine(?) with Corey holding this list hostage for payment(?!) bc it meant that "pizzagate" was "real, to you"?!? Either way: It's twisted. Bottom line: *Feldman is alive.* i liked your comments so you could read this.
Improper sexual interactions need to be called out , it comes down to the simple fact that adults need to be aware that sexual interactions with young boys and girls can mess up their perception of what healthy sexual interactions are for those young persons
Please get rid of Frances, he doesn't know how to talk properly, not because of his Scottish accent but because he seemingly doesn't know what he wants to say so it's a pain to follow him
+Nick Fanchette This is my first time seeing him on TYT news portion so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt but TYT Sports I've experienced the same issue which is why I even bothered mentioning it in the first place
Not sure what was so hard. The dude talked about jimmy saville and how he was protected by the establishment. Guessing you don't know anything about Saville.
+Nick Fanchette because you clearly are ignorant about the rest of the world. He was talking about Jimmy Saville, a huge celeb in the uk that abused hundreds if children and was protected by establishment and used threat of sue to silence witnesses
+Alex Hennigh he's the only one who points out the actual reason why people are afraid to come forward. He was perfectly articulate and on point regarding subject.
Anna is so strident
Yeah, on certain subjects, I agree, she does become strident.
And nowhere near as bright as she thinks she is.
I was especially annoyed recently when she cheered the court judgement against Johnson & Johnson because a dead woman's family claimed that the woman got cancer from using J&J talcum powder. Even the American Cancer Society says that the link between cancer and talc is tenuous at best.
Ana ought to recognize a get-rich-quick scheme; it's not like it's the first one.
Agreed on Anna, but disagreed on J&J; a company selling gargantuan loads of toxic crap for decades, deserves any crap they get.
Join The Progress
Does it bother you that the claim against J&J is specious? Or are you just targeting them as a big corporation that sells stuff, so has lots of money, so let's sue them for some of it even if our claim has no basis?
qhsperson
"Specious," fun, just love that neat little word.
I guess you didn't read my post; I specifically said "selling gargantuan loads of toxic crap..."
Not "stuff"..."toxic crap."
So while I enjoy your vocabulary, your reading comprehension could use some work.
hes obviously referring to MJ
I'm amazed anyone has doubts about that. Jackson used to dress him up like his own mini-me.
*****
charlie sheen is an EVERYTHING
Hes not talking about charlie sheen, hes talking about the producer that was on lucas, his name escapes me. In several interviews he gave hints to the mans age at the time and THE ONLY man who was that age at that time was the producer on the movie "Lucas", also Feldman is adamant that MJ never tried anything
Wrong. Corey Feldman defended MJ in both trials and has always said MJ never molested him. In fact, he said MJ warned him about pedophiles in Hollywood. Corey sensed MJ may have had some kind of run-in himself.
@ApesAmongUs - Dress him up? Kids voluntarily dressed like MJ all the time. Still do. No one dressed them up but themselves. Corey Feldman also testified in MJ's favor in both cases and has always maintained MJ never molested him and had a friendship with him until his death. Why would he go out of his way to defend his supposed molester in court? Feldman has implied his molester was some Hollywood director, producer or executive.
Thank you!! Why is there a statute of limitations on rape and molestation? Especially when the victim is a child? How does that make sense????
Woman on the left, judgemental much? If Corey Feldman were female they wouldn't be dissecting his character.
Why is it Cory Feldman’s job to single handily tear down this systemic problem? He’s been talking about it for years and other people know about it. Why is it his job to name names and be subjected to further violence in the name of having a credible story? Believe victims and stop worrying about if they’re too “odd” for you to believe
Perhaps his name would be "dragged through the mud" and ensuing legal problems but on the other hand he would be protecting children by exposing these heinous acts.
who protected him...easy to say from your couch
Because the statue of limitations has run out. He would then be sued for libel. This is very often the case when young people and women are victims of sexual assault and rape. The victim is often not taken seriously by police and becomes re-traumatized. Three out of ten women will be raped every day here in the US
The statute of limitations should not apply to abuse done to CHILDREN.
It's wrong to attempt to shame a victim into publicly reliving the abuse they were subjected to. If he doesn't want to say who did it, who are we to judge him?
It's also worth Noting that Corey and other child stars who spent time with Michael Jackson say that he absolutely did not behave inappropriately toward them and was a haven of normalcy for them during their times of abuse. It's awful that Jackson was victimized by the system that also keeps these stars from being able to speak out.
_Statute of Limitations_ should be amended a.s.a.p. to _not_ apply in cases where the crime committed was/is Rape, Murder and/or Pedophilia.
I believe Corey Feldman. He needs to make the terrible decision between putting himself in considerable danger and naming these names to keep other children from being raped by these Hollywood people. Even if there is no prosecution then at least there will be a spotlight put on the rapists and people will know to keep their children away from them.
If these people had a clue of what they were attempting to comment about, they'd know that child stars of Hollywood won't name names because fear for their lives. Feldman wouldn't get to give a name and keep his life. It is still believed by most that Haim's death was a murder and not simply a self imposed death by drugs.
Corey F. downplaying his experience is a coping/survival mechanism . I also downplay my abuse. It happened for years (7yrs -12yrs old). Personally , if I don't downplay what happened to me, I have to re-live it all the time. No one can live like that.
America is truly fucked up. A kid get abused and because of statute of limitations if they say what really happened the peado can sue them! How can anyone think that is acceptable?
Corey Feldman has name names to the police but they did nothing.
This is why rape isn't a criminal charge in Canada. Sexual assault is and so penetration isn't necessary to be charged. It also encourages people to go to the police who might otherwise say, "well, I wasn't actually raped."
Corey Haim died from water in his lungs....Not drug over dose CHECK YOUR FACTS
Hollywood needs to be taken down. These wicked perverts deserve the death penalty.
It makes me o mad. This happened to my friend when she from ages 6 through 17. The police didn't believe her because "this kinda thing doesn't happen here" and "no that's impossible" and "you just want attention". Like what?! Nothing enrages me more than people NOT believing rape victims!!!
Francis as a fellow Scot you do our accent proud. 💯 There is a lot of conviction in how you come across. You guys are great hosts! 👏👏👏
It's a coping mechanism. You deal with it and keep it small and powerless in your mind. That way you have power over the experience, not the other way around.
They are so clueless. He doesn't want to tell because he don't want to get fugging killed. That's why he's not telling.
Corey Haim died of diffuse alveolar damage and pneumonia, together with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and coronary arteriosclerosis, ruled a natural death. Not drugs.
When the Catholic church was accused of pedophilia: the church was charged. Why is this is a different case?
I was about to comment that statue of limitations shouldn't even exist, but then discovered that people already beat me to it. While it is difficult to actually prosecute someone after years go by if evidence comes to light the case should be dealt with!
I tend to downplay my rape because I was raped by a woman (when I was about 4). I usually think to myself "I'm lucky she wasn't a man. I'm lucky it didn’t physically hurt. I'm lucky it only happened twice".
So because Corey Feldman had the misfortune of being raped he had to spend his life being defined by this? I respect Feldmen for thinking of his family and not bringing this hardship into their lives.
If it was just money involved for Feldman to name names I would GLADLY donate some. He and Haim helped make my childhood bearable and it makes me feel shitty to think about what they both had to go through just to entertain me through my crappy home situation.
But it's not. These guys have far too much power and money. How does anyone go up against that?
Also, Corey Feldman does not come off to me as weird at all, he actually appears to be quite normal, especially in person... the more he talks about what he has locked inside of him, the less weird he will appear and the more normal he will become in sight of the public. If you were walking around with a big secret locked away inside of you, wouldn't you seem weird too...
If you're interested in these kind of issues, read about the Cia MK Ultra program. We don't know for certain, but a there is a school of thought which believe this was a program used by the elite to abuse young children in various circles (including Hollywood), through the use of mind control at a very young age. There are very subtle references to the program's activity during the 60s in many Hollywood films actually. Watch the Misfits and Alice in Wonderland. Both have an underlying plotline of a woman being swept along into a "strange world" and drugs/drinking both play a role in their descent. It may sound like a stretch and just a conspiracy, and I am very careful about what I believe with the program, because so little is known. CIA director Richard Helms had almost ALL of the documents describing the program destroyed when it came out. What is known for CERTAIN is that the program drugged unwitting citizens with LSD, sometimes for months at a time, to see how they reacted and how their personalities could be altered. Why? The program's ultimate goal was to convert Soviets and other communists into anti communist figures through mind control.
I read his book a long time ago. He basically outright stated that he didn't want to name names because he has a kid to provide for, and calling them out would destroy whatever cash flow he has now.
Corey Haim didn't die from a drug overdose, he died from pneumonia.
A child victim can give the day exact address, but it will go ignored for 49+ years. Children are at risk for a lifetime of hell. RIP
If you don’t name names, quit wasting our time......
Sorry I don't believe Corey Feldman just because he has always been dodgy. I believe Elijah Woods.
You do not know what you do not know what your talking about. There are degrees of molestation, some are worse than others. It does not mean that the lessor is not bad. I have seen his interviews. I am a victim survivor, I as a nurse has cared for babies and children of abuse. and been with adults in therapy groups and have worked with L.A.P.D. ! Corey is a hero in the world of victim -survivors ! You guys do not know what You speak of.
Parents need to KNOW what they are getting their children into! NEVER EVER trust anyone with your Babies and young children ever! YOU are the only person your Child can rely on.. Hollywood is NOT for children period!!
The problem with people talking is that they end up dead or unemployed, broke and unable to mount a fight. This is a very organized and dark side of Hollywood
I have always loved this guy. When he did Lost Boys and Stand By Me, the "Cories" were all the rage; however they were entertained and in contact with some of the most powerful people in Hollywood. He was seen in the tabloids partying with adults and he was still a child. I think that, added to the fact that it takes males a little longer to come forth than females, are what's making him reserved when it comes to naming names and downplaying his own assaults. He is a great dad and adores his kids, so I think the older he gets, the more forthcoming he may be. I think you can almost see it in his body language when it comes up in interviews, that he is not quite yet comfortable with the conversation. I completely believe him though.
I remember after polanski was convicted of child rape and accused of numerous other child rapes(and fleeing the country), seeing all of hollywood give polanski a standing ovation when he won an award...instead of being forced out of the running for it...they gave him a standing O? is that the forgive mentality in liberals? SICK!
Rape doesn't have a statute of limitations in most places. And if it does, it mostly has exceptions if you have DNA evidence. Children under a certain age are also usually exempt from the statute of limitations (again, if they even have one). So virtually all of your criticisms are not grounded in reality.
Besides, that guy said he wasn't raped, so I don't see how this is even relevant to this case.
Corey Haim didn’t died of drug overdose. He died of pneumonia.
There would be SO many victims who don't speak out in Hollywood, at least Cory said SOMETHING. This Ana chick should check her attitude and not tell victims how to handle what happens to them.
He is scared for his life and his family. Please dont trash him. He has been through enough but he is trying the best he can right now.
