For decades, Corey has been going on and on about the Pedos in Hollywood.
Every few years he does a media blitz, saying he knows these massive high profile hollywood
types are still raping children, but he wont name names.
A few years back, he wrote a book, that he said he would tell all, how its going to shock the
world, because these pedophile are massive A Listers.
He still refused to name names.
Now thanks to the brave women speaking out against the likes of Harvey.
Good old Corey is going to do another media blitz, he is tweeting like crazy, begging people
to come forward and out these pedofiles. Calling hollywood every name under the sun, he wants
people to name names.
He wont though.
Hes a fuckin pedophile enabler, a coward and a hypocrite, who is using the current story, to get in the
public attention again.
The hypocrisy of him to call out hollywood for not naming names, and then not naming names yourself is
astounding.

(16,377 posts)But for decades hes been saying hes knows children are being raped, but he not going to
the police and naming the rapists.
Think about that for a second.
He knows kids are being raped, but hes not going to the police to have it stopped.
Oh well he up his twitter followers though, so thats whats important.

(1,058 posts)Because all of those women that were harrassed/assaulted by Weinstein knew that it was happening, and it's highly unlikely that all of them thought "wow, it's just me". All of them likely agonized over whether to go public with their experiences, and decided that at the end of the day the financial balance fell in their favor more if they stayed silence. Why are you not condemning them?
Maybe Feldman was in the awkward position of coming forward where maybe he would be the only one? Would other Hollywood starts be ok with saying "hey, I was molested?"

(12,384 posts)He doesnt have to go on the Ellen Show and start naming names.
If he knows a child is being raped, he has a duty to go to the police and report it.

(14,971 posts)He continued, Everybody deals with things differently. Im not able to name names. People are frustrated, people are angry, they want to know how is this happening, and they want answersand they turn to me and they say, Why dont you be a man and stand up and name names and stop hiding and being a coward? I have to deal with that, which is not pleasant, especially given the fact that I would love to name names. Id love to be the first to do it. But unfortunately California conveniently enough has a statute of limitations that prevents that from happening. Because if I were to go and mention anybodys name, I would be the one that would be in legal problems and Im the one that would be sued. We should be talking to the district attorneys and the lawmakers in California, especially because this is where the entertainment industry is and this is a place where adults have more direct and inappropriate connection with children than probably anywhere else in the world.
Bryan Singer, director of X-Men has been implicated more than once but has always gotten off.
And then there was former The Real ONeals star Noah Galvin, who in a since-deleted quote from an interview with Vulture, said: Yeah. Bryan Singer likes to invite little boys over to his pool and diddle them in the fing dark of night. (Laughs.) I want nothing to do with that. I think there are enough boys in L.A. that are questionably homosexual who are willing to do things with the right person who can get them in the door. In New York there is a healthy gay community, and that doesnt exist in L.A.
The quote was later removed from the interview and Galvin issued an apology on Twitter: I sincerely apologize to Bryan Singer for the horrible statement I made. My comments were false and unwarranted. It was irresponsible and stupid of me to make those allegations against Bryan, and I deeply regret doing so.

(12,384 posts)We are not talking naming names here, we are talking about going to the FBI or the police and telling them
what you think is happening and letting them investigate.
Imagine if Corey's son, came up to him, and said he was raped, and another adult said to Corey "I know who did it, I have proof, but I dont want to be sued"
There is no argument for Corey or for any adult human being who knows a child is getting raped, but refuses to report it to
the police.
No fuckin excuse at all.

(1,058 posts)I assume you also blame McKayla Moroney for not coming forward earlier? She clearly knows that this is wrong, yet says nothing until #metoo?
I just want to understand where I'm starting from if I'm going to argue with you.
cyclonefence
(4,483 posts)wasn't that Corey Feldman didn't report his abuse; her point is that for years he has been making public statements about abuse of children in the film industry and refusing to name names. It's hard for me to understand what he wanted the authorities to do. He told everyone he had been abused, but would not say who abused him.
I guess he was worried about not being hired to work in movies, but how could he expect anyone else to risk employment (or worse) if they started accusing people they *thought* he was talking about?

(29,676 posts)It's the lawsuits. If he doesn't have tangible proof he'll be sued -and he'll lose everything.
I remember watching one of his interviews. He made the comment about if enough people came together they could do something. Most are not speaking out so what chance does a former child stat with a crappy childhood and a history of drug abuse have against executives?
brettdale
(12,384 posts)My point is that he is saying "That there are pedophiles in Hollywood today abusing kids"
But he wont name them, or go to the police or FBI.

(13,943 posts)When we hear about pedophilia in Hollywood, alll the common people jump to denounce the pedophiles.
It takes a true visionary like Ms. Walters to castigate the reporter, instead.

(56,177 posts)How you came up with your post boggles the mind. He's been trying to get attention to this issue for years. He should be praised FFS

(12,384 posts)Tell them who's doing the abuse,And let them investigate.

(29,676 posts)He's said before if enough are willing to go together he'd lead the march. If he does it alone he'll be ruined. He'll lose his shirt in lawsuits.
If nothing else he's made waves and now the new wave of stage moms can keep their eyes open for it. Until then he's in limbo.

(2,841 posts)All the "heroic" women coming out agaibst Harvey only did so after the NYT piece. They had years to say something but didnt. Same with guys like Terry Crews who claimed some producer fondled his privates (in front of his wife) but didnt say who that producer was.

(14,971 posts)This all happened when he and Haim were 11 , 12,13 so statute of limitations has run out. I think hes urging Weinstein victims to say something now so that Harvey can be charged with a crime. He probably has no evidence against any of his abusers so would be sued by people who have deep pockets. I really dont think its because hes worried about his career because he doesnt really have one in movies anymore. This is just blaming the victim.

If Corey knows of a Child in 2017 that is being Raped by an adult, he should go to the Police.
Its thats simple.

What makes you think that that applies to Corey Feldman?
If he's indicated that he knows of a recent rape, but is being coy about it, that would have been a good thing to point out in your initial post.
Failing that, perhaps you could point it out now, including some specifics?

(7,820 posts)This OP is seriously fucked up. Coreys been talking about this for years. He cares about the issue- but cases he has direct knowledge of are way past the statute of limitations and if he did name names at this point hed likely be the one facing law suits. If enough others came forward with him thats one thing. Doing it alone on decades-old cases? Much more difficult. Id support him if he did, but its bullshit to attack him for not being the only one to name names at this point.
brettdale
(12,384 posts)Okay take Corey out of it.
What I am saying is....
"If you know that a child has been abused, you should go to the police"
How is that disgusting or on the level of Faux news?

(9,971 posts)...report to the most logical authority. Local police... FBI... you don't need Twitter, "Ellen" or Facebook.
