Corey Feldman speaks more about facing molestation in Hollywood

Corey Feldman spoke again about molestation that he and his late friend Corey Haim faced by men in the industry.

This comes on the heels of Elijah Wood reigniting the conversation after commenting on pedophilia in Hollywood saying that while he was never a victim, he has knowledge of what happened to some people.

Feldman knows there is justice to be served, but is unable to outright name names.

"People are frustrated, people are angry, they want to know how is this happening, and they want answers — and they turn to me and they say, 'Why don't 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," Feldman said in an interview with THR, "I'd 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 anybody's name I would be the one that would be in legal problems and I'm the one that would be sued."

"If somebody came forward with a suit against one of these people [who molested me], I would certainly be more than happy to back them up," Feldman added, "But that hasn't happened."

Feldman spoke about the parties where children as young as ten years old would be preyed upon by Hollywood men coaxing them by giving an opportunity. Feldman said one particular pedophile is, "prominently in the business today."

When asked if he ever confronted the man Feldman said, "We've run into each other many times but no, I've never confronted him."

Feldman has talked about his experiences with pedophilia in the industry in past interviews and in Coreyography, his memoir published in 2013.

Feldman also spoke of his Lost Boys and License to Drive co-star and close friend Corey Haim, who collapsed in his home with his mother at the age of 38 in 2010. Leading up to his death, Haim obtained over 500 prescription pills of Valium, Vicodin, Xanax and more, according to The Telegraph.

"There is one person to blame in the death of Corey Haim and that person happens to be a Hollywood mogul," Feldman said in an interview with ABC News in 2011.

Feldman spoke about his late friend and how his son is now the same age Haim was when he was raped.

"He had more direct abuse than I did. With me, there were some molestations, and it did come from several hands, so to speak, but with Corey, his was direct rape, whereas mine was not actual rape," Feldman said, "And his also occurred when he was 11. My son is 11 now, and I can't even begin to fathom the idea of something like that happening to him. It would destroy his whole being."
