[Wild rumors ahoy!](http://radaronline.com/celebrity-news/superstar-actor-sexually-abused-teen-corey-haim/) I’ve been seeing the Coreys-- Feldman and Haim-- trending lately, so I decided to investigate a bit. Turns out, there’s a story out there that a four-year investigation (albeit by a tabloid, albeit by the tabloid that broke John Edwards’ love child and Charlie Sheen’s HIV status) is about to reveal a Hollywood A-lister as an abuser/rapist of Feldman, Haim and possibly other young actors in the 80s. No idea who it could be but it seems a friend of Haim’s is about to name names. > [@](#): > > According to a source, one of Haim’s closest confidants is preparing to tell all — and name names — in the hope that new laws can be passed that would extend the statute of limitations for underage victims of sex abuse. > > He’s been offered various platforms to tell the story, including a primetime television special. ---

It’s pretty obvious it’s someone who will no longer be “winning” in the near future. ---

Last week I saw Corey Feldman get “read” by Tyler Henry. Corey Haim came through and this subject came up. He intimated that he was thinking of opening this can of worms, but was still somewhat on the fence about it as he didn’t want to be disloyal to his dead friend. It was interesting to say the least. ---

> [@Stephe96](#): > > It’s pretty obvious it’s someone who will no longer be “winning” in the near future. I don’t know… he’s too close in age; only 6-7 years older than Haim & Feldman, not some “older man” like they talk about. My guess would be someone in their mid 60s or older who’s still active in Hollywood. ---

I got the impression that he was older and very much still alive. Corey said he is also working through some legal issues surrounding him coming out with this story. ---

Yeah, that and the ‘family man’ description make me wonder. It’s possible it could be the father of someone who was “winning.” But you can Google a certain actor’s name and Corey Feldman quotes and draw your own conclusion. ---

“A-list star” “one of the most recognizable faces in the industry” “has children of his own” “family-man” “powerful” “a household name and revered by millions around the globe” “still prominently in the business today” OK, I officially don’t know who this is.

There’s definitely some wiggle room with the wording, but would you ever describe a director or producer as a star? ---

I’m wondering if there is exaggeration going on, and it’s some powerful producer who has made well loved movies and is known in the industry but isn’t an A-list star and revered by millions. Or something else like that. It seems usually there are rumors about someone famous before a story breaks big. I don’t get how someone could be “a household name and revered by millions around the globe” while this is also “open secret among so many in the biz”. I would think even jaded Hollywood types would be put off by someone who runs a pedophile sex ring and not work with him, even if they didn’t talk about it publically. I don’t want to speculate on who it is. I hope that the complete story is released soon since I’d rather a pedophile ring not go on any longer. And I hope Feldman doesn’t face any blowback once the story is released. ---

> [@Barkis\_is\_Willin](#): > > I have seen another site try to connect the dots and arrived at that conclusion. Although, I’m not entirely sure your second sentence is referring to the same person as your first. Yeah, there appear to be at least two separate incidents being discussed. According to Feldman, one of these occurred on the set of “Lucas.” (Look at the cast and draw your own conclusions). But the description in the OP would seem to be pointing at somebody else. ---

No. It’s going to be someone like Al Pacino. That’s the only reason why it’s been a secret so long. 😕 ---
