Elijah Wood claims Hollywood is in the grip of a child sexual abuse scandal similar to that of Jimmy Savile in the UK.
The 35-year-old said paedophiles were shielded by powerful figures in the film industry and claimed that the abuse was organised.
He said his mother protected him from abuse when he arrived in Hollywood at the age of eight and he didnt attend the type of parties where such incidents occurred.

(29,685 posts)I think Corey Feldman also mentioned it. People blew them both off, made jokes about how it was all probably Michael Jackson (because of Feldman), etc. One of them said it was a big shot, like a well known producer or something.
I kind of think it's true.

This has been rumored for decades.
Most the rumors are about the show runner for those kid's shows, the guy Dan Schneider
But apparently there are the top hollywood people involved.
Remember in England, where it was all just rumours, people brushed it all too,
until the victims came forward after Saville's deat.

(53,521 posts)We make fun of the Right for accusing Hollywood of being full of debauchery and sexual perversion but it seems to me that such accusations are more correct than not.
