The revelations from a new interview with Hollywood Reporter come just days after actor Elijah Wood said he believed there was a dark underbelly in Hollywood where hopeful young actors were sexually preyed upon. Corey Haim (L) and Corey Feldman (R) in 1987's The Lost Boys. Haim, who died in 2010, was reportedly raped aged 11. Feldman spoke about being invited to Hollywood parties run by older industry men where children between the ages of 11 and 16 were plied with drugs and alcohol. "I believe that Haim's rapist was probably connected to something bigger and that is probably how he has remained protected for all these years," the actor said. "This person uses intimidation and threats as a way to keep people quiet. And all these men were all friends. Ask anybody in our group of kids at that time: They were passing us back and forth to each other."

Feldman said he still saw his abusers in the industry today but was unable to confront them and press charges because of the associated legal risks.

I have to deal with that, which is not pleasant, especially given the fact that I would love to name names. "I'd love to be the first to do it. But unfortunately California, conveniently enough, has a statute of limitations that prevents that from happening. Because if I were to go and mention anybody's name I would be the one that would be in legal problems and I'm the one that would be sued." 'Clearly something major was going on in Hollywood.

Speaking to Sunday Times last week, Elijah Wood said while he had no firsthand knowledge of child sex abuse in Hollywood, he believed there was a network of paedophiles in the industry. "Clearly something major was going on in Hollywood. It was all organised. There are a lot of vipers in this industry, people who only have their own interests in mind. There is darkness in the underbelly. If you can imagine it, it's probably happened." The comments were made in relation to British DJ and BBC personality Jimmy Savile, who after his death in 2011 was found to be responsible for molesting more than 450 people aged between eight and 47. An independent inquiry into Savile's charges found the threat of child sex abuse in the entertainment industry showed no signs of abating. "Coupled with celebrity, the power of which shows no sign of diminishing in our society, those features make a powerful combination, which makes detection difficult," wrote judge Dame Janet Smith.

"Until a complaint is made such people are likely to enjoy the confidence and approval of all those around them." Feldman also predicted things would get worse with the rise of social media. "It's more now than ever because nowadays you can use the internet to create fake profiles and fake accounts. They reach out to little kids on Twitter, they reach out to little kids on Facebook, and they say, 'I'm a big producer and I can help you.' "With social media we have more access than ever to everybody. It's a growing problem, not a shrinking problem."
