There's protections for animals in filming.
I think there need to be protections legally put in place to protect people when they're
filming, human beings.
Jennifer Lawrence hopes legislation will be enacted in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein
scandal.
Weinstein's decades long chain of alleged harassment was a dirty Hollywood secret.
As far as we know though, all of Weinstein's accusers were of legal age when the alleged
incidents occurred
But there is Hollywood's other dirty secret that victimizes the most vulnerable: children.
And someone who has spoken out about this is and is painfully aware, is former child star
Corey Feldman.
You freeze, you're in shock, children aren't supposed to handle that kind of stuff
I can tell you the number one problem in Hollywood was and is and will always be pedophilia.
Nobody talks about pedophilia.
It's the big secret.
And it's widespread?
Oh yeah.
I was surrounded by them.
For years now, as evidenced on Nightline in 2011, Corey Feldman has been claiming that
he and his good friend, the late Corey Haim, were victims of molestation when they were
young actors.
Last year he opened up to Alex Hudgens.
Why didn't you come forward then?
Kids are scared.
You know kids don't think 'oh I'm going to go--
first of all for me the person that was doing it to me the most you know- well I mean I
could say that the two people that did it to me were both close friends of mine.
Or so I thought.
Feldman claims Haim endured more than him.
In his book "Coreyography" he alleges that Haim was raped on the set of the 1986 film
"Lucas."
The following year, 1987, their film 'The Lost Boys' came out.
It was when we were both on the set of "The Lost Boys" that things were happening to both
of us.
Not from anyone on set but outside elements
How did people not know when these are two young- or did they know and they just weren't
doing anything about it?
I know he told a lot of people, that's the thing that's so upsetting to me.
It's not like it's just me that knows this story.
Other people know.
A lot of people know.
They're still working they're still out there and they're some of the richest most powerful
people in this business.
Back in 2013 on 'The View', Feldman was insistent that perpetrators are still out there, but
says he won't name names due to statute of limitation laws in California.
He also has another reason that echoes something we've heard regarding Harvey Weinstein.
From what I've seen every time somebody tries to bring up a public name and they have a
lot of money and power and publicity machine behind them, the person who does the accusing
is the one that ends up looking bad.
They would pull away the better looking younger kids and keep them for their own after party
and there would be rules no swimsuits in the pool.
In the wake of the Weinstein scandal, the producers of "An Open Secret," about teen
sex abuse in Hollywood, released the film for free on Vimeo for nine days.
Much of the film focuses on an organized system within Hollywood for grooming and then abusing
children.
At the end of the day it's gotta change there are so many people that have been affected
by this.
