Pedophilia in Hollywood - Primetime Nightline on ABC - Corey Feldman (Pelosi, suspect)

[renault]

'Homosexuality between men and boys is perfectly normal' .... our kids are being taught this garbage in schools now.


Troubled lives of the Lost Boys: Corey Feldman reveals horrific sexual abuse he and Corey Haim endured as child stars... and how his friendship Michael Jackson was 'the healthiest relationship he had'

In new book Coreyography, he recalls how he and Haim were told by trusted adults that it was normal for older men and young boys to have sexual relations in Hollywood.

He described his rough home life left him searching for strong role models who often turned out to be pedophiles.

Hollywood- a safe, progressive and forward-thinking place to raise your children and leave them in the care of homosexuals.

Hell, this is the same industry that gave child rapist Roman Polanski a standing ovation.

Excellent point!

Of course there's only so much he CAN actually divulge because there's an unspoken code of "honor" that you never speak out publicly about anyone in the industry if you're "in" the industry.

Like the old saying goes... "you'll never work in this town again"...

There are others who have made the same claims as he has.



There's so much garbage going on in Hollywood that if people really knew what the truth is, there'd be a congressional investigation.

yup, there are others that have spoken about it too, they arent the only child actors to come out. Im definitely gonna watch it, maybe will will enlighten us a bit more.

Because when they go on to run a concrete business or work as a publicist etc. it's not newsworthy.

Reporting bias.

How is this a big shock?

The whole theme of producers etc. boning young starlets on the "casting couch" has been around for a looooong time.

The idea that there might also be pedo's lurking about is no big shock.

Gee, people that are usually abused suffer no consequences of that abuse. He must be lying.

I don't think Hollywood has anymore pedophilia than any other segment of society.

Don't you watch TV? They are a big family. Ever hear any of them really trash another?
Ever hear someone say they were working in a new film and some of the other actors just
weren't any good? No, everyone loves everybody else. Everybody kisses and hugs every
other person. It's ''The Business''. The only other place with as deviant a lifestyle might
be Congress.

Fortunately, Hollywood does not represent most of America. And not everyone watches the tv trash as mentioned above.

They need to clean up their act, but since that place has a history of scandals since the 30's its dubious.

however........

There is absolutetly NO REASON why the parents shouldn't be able to observe these sessions from nearby, in real time, using a "nannycam" system.

Parents need to start demanding it.

This is so true.

So....taking one up the pipe leads one to hit the pipe?

Hmmm...interesting take.
