hanging, drawing & quartering territory:
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. "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.”

“This has been going on for a very long time,” concurs former “Little House on the Prairie” star Alison Arngrim. “It was the gossip back in the ‘80s. People said, ‘Oh yeah, the Coreys, everyone’s had them.’ People talked about it like it was not a big deal.”
Arngrim, 49, was referring to Feldman and his co-star in “The Lost Boys,” Corey Haim, who died in March 2010 after years of drug abuse.
“I literally heard that they were ‘passed around,’” Arngrim said. “The word was that they were given drugs and being used for sex. It was awful – these were kids, they weren’t 18 yet. There were all sorts of stories about everyone from their, quote, ‘set guardians’ on down that these two had been sexually abused and were totally being corrupted in every possible way.”
Might help explain all the opposition to bringing Roman Polanski being brought back to face charges; a lot of people consider it no big deal for such an 'artist', and others would be scared as hell it might lead to further investigations. Of course, you have to wonder what kind of screws are loose for someone to consider drugging and raping girls to be no big deal as long as you're a great director or something.

I cannot remember where read it years back, a guy was writing about the modeling industry and kids and said if his daughter were offered a contract there'd be two stipulations: First, mom or dad would be there while she was working. Always. Second, if someone tried to get the kid to work without them around, the contract would be void(preferably with enough of a penalty to get their attention). From what he said it wasn't just pedophiles who worked around the industry, but teenage girls were a target of some of the older female models as well.
