Dated article but an important piece of information. Not that we didn't know there was a problem with child sex abuse in Hollywood after allegations that two award winning producers were involved in having sex with children. I'm talking about Woody Allen and Roman Polanski.
If a spate of recent allegations proves true, Hollywood may have a hideous epidemic on its hands. The past two weeks (remember this is dated) have brought three separate reports of alleged child sexual abuse in the entertainment industry.
Martin Weiss, a 47-year-old Hollywood manager who represented child actors, was charged in Los Angeles on Dec. 1 with sexually abusing a former client. His accuser, who was under 12 years old during the time of the alleged abuse, reported to authorities that Weiss told him "what they were doing was common practice in the entertainment industry." Weiss has pleaded not guilty.
On Nov. 21, Fernando Rivas, 59, an award-winning composer for “Sesame Street,” was arraigned on charges of coercing a child “to engage in sexually explicit conduct” in South Carolina. The Juilliard-trained composer was also charged with production and distribution of child pornography.
Last September, Rivas was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Registered sex offender Jason James Murphy, 35, worked as a casting agent in Hollywood for years before his past kidnapping and sexual abuse of a boy was revealed by the Los Angeles Times.
Revelations of this sort come as no surprise to former child star Corey Feldman. Feldman, 40, himself a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, unflinchingly warned of the world of pedophiles who are drawn to the entertainment industry last August.
Feldman told the police about the abuse he suffered but they couldn't be bothered to investigate because they were focused on investigating Michael Jackson.
"I can tell you that the No. 1 problem in Hollywood was and is and always will be pedophilia,” Feldman told ABC’s Nightline. “That's the biggest problem for children in this industry... It's the big secret.”
Note: For powerful evidence of a massive child sex abuse ring that leads to the highest levels of government, watch the suppressed Discovery Channel documentary "Conspiracy of Silence," available here.
