Corey Feldman Agrees to Call LAPD to Name Pedophile Abusers on Dr. Oz Show

Corey Feldman agreed to call the Los Angeles Police Department and name the pedophile abusers who he says targeted him and other child stars during a Dr. Oz segment set to air Thursday.

Hope he finally gets some justice for a messed up life. And hopefully this starts to out a lot of the pedos in Hollywood. Following his story over the years, this has the potential to be huge.

Thank god, I was worried that he wasn't going to be able to get himself more publicity over this instead of just doing the right thing and reporting it.

Obviously it's good to report them regardless, but I could have done with about 90% less typical Feldman self promotion while it happened.

I would assume that the Statute of Limitations has way expired anyways.

flights from hollywood to countries without an extradition treaty might be busy tonight.

Oh good grief. Call LAPD from your house. And Dr. Oz is a moron.

Corey pretty much has to strike while he has everyone's attention and people are willing to believe him. The safest position for him to be in is to have the info out (so no one tries to 'silence' him) and have public support firmly on his side so he doesn't get smashed by legal teams (due to California's statute of limitation laws, Corey is in the wrong from a legal standpoint).

I am confused about how he is in the wrong. Yes, the state would not be able to prosecute due to the statute of limitations. But that doesn't take away his right to say what happened.

He could be sued into oblivion for slander (libel? Not a legal guy, but that's how I understand it).

He could probably avoid that worry about slander by just talking to the police and not trying to make it a spectacle.

Alas.

I struggle with this guy. He is in obvious pain and conflict with himself. He has been telling this story for a long time so it's hard not to believe. But yesterday, Corey Haim's Mom comes out and tells the world to ignore him because he is a con artist. It's so hard to side with Feldman sometimes. Not trying to be a cold hearted person but the evidence always stacks up against him.

What's the point in talking to the police if the statute of limitations has run out and they can't do anything about it? The court of public opinion is where this will ultimately be played out.

[CaptainCrunch]

Even Corey Haim talked about being abused on set, so I don't know how his mother can accused Feldman of lying or being a scam artist.

This is different than what is currently going on, how?

The court of public opinion is also where libel becomes a concern. So, again, if he's worried about libel, there's a solution.

The police being aware of crimes that they can't prosecute isn't a zero value situation. You think these pedos just did this to Feldman and then stopped? If they become aware of a type of behaviour from certain individuals, I bet there's a ton of people they can talk to to find crimes that haven't exceeded the statute of limitations.

The pedos would still be armed with some of the most vicious legal teams in human history, on top of that, sexual assault in any form is super hard to prove. They don't have that protection in public opinion.

I'm not saying that the court of public opinion isn't ruthless, I'm saying that's where libel becomes a problem.

[CaptainCrunch]

He might take the libel hit, but if he does the call and names names on tv, other victims might come forward, some more recent and the police might be able to prosecute those.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

Libel is written down. Slander is said out loud.

I think there's no statute of limitations in California for crimes that you can be sentenced to life imprisonment for. I don't know if rape is among those, however. Seems like it should be.

I saw an interview with her a couple of days ago. I'm a bit fuzzy on details but I don't think it's the abuse part where she's accusing him of being a scam artist. It's something to do with money ($10M rings a bell) he's trying to raise to make a documentary expose about it or something? She's pissed that he keeps bringing Haim into it without naming names of the "alleged" abusers, and has for 7 years since Haim died. She feels he just uses Haim and his name for attention and has/had no intentions of naming names and that it's all a scam for money, that he doesn't need $10M/big money to just straight up name them and speak to police.

Feldman clearly has some kind of psychiatric (narcissistic perhaps) disorder, where he needs to make everything about himself. His first reality TV show was the Surreal Life, which he turned into a show about his own wedding.

It's really difficult to tell if his behaviour is genuinely self-motivated or motivated by a need to appease his psychiatric issues and be in the spotlight. At times his attention seeking seems quite detrimental. If he was motivated by profit, you'd assume he'd be more savvy. His behaviour more closely resembles someone in a manic or drug induced state than a pure profit seeker.

As far as Corey Haim's mother is concerned, she could have her own interests too. Feldman is likely to throw her under the bus for having let Haim be around abusers. Whether that's true or not, she probably doesn't believe it.

highest rated doctor oz show ever. my guess is corey makes the call with about 6 minutes left in the show before the top of the hour
