The former teen idol has vowed to expose a "Hollywood
paedophile ring" involving "very powerful" men working in the
industry.
The Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed it is
investigating a report filed by former child star Corey Feldman.
The Goonies and Stand By Me actor said on Tuesday he had
informed the LAPD of the names of "very powerful" men who abused him
as a child in Hollywood.
"Officially the first formal report ever taken on any of
my cases," Feldman tweeted.
"Right off the bat, I can name six names, one of them
who is still very powerful today," Feldman said in a crowdfunding video
posted in October.
"In a story that links all the way up to a studio - that
connects paedophilia to one of the major studios," he added.
Feldman, who started acting when he was three, has long
claimed that both he and Haim were abused when they were underage, and that it
led to Haim's drug abuse and subsequent death in 2010.
The pair starred together in the film The Lost Boys, and
became a TV sensation in the 1980s show The Two Coreys.
Now, Feldman has launched a TRUTH campaign to fund a
documentary produced, directed and distributed by him, in which he will reveal
the names of his abusers.
The money, Feldman said, will be enough to cover the
production and distribution of the film, but also to hire a legal team to
protect him against possible lawsuits.
"I've been silenced my whole life but just over the past
few days since I've made the announcement, I've been arrested, I had a
near-death experience last night where I thought I was almost going to be
killed," he said in the crowdfunding video.
"Two trucks came speeding at me at the same time on a
crosswalk. And then several of my band members have decided to quit because
they were fearing for their lives.
"I'm very alone, but I need to protect myself and I need
to protect myself and my family. I need additional security and I need a legal
team to help represent me so I can fulfil this mission."
It is unclear whether the US statute of limitations could
affect possible prosecutions on Feldman's case, and the LAPD has said there is
"no further information at this time".
