  • There's protections for animals in filming.

  • I think there need to be protections legally put in place to protect people when they're

  • filming, human beings.

  • Jennifer Lawrence hopes legislation will be enacted in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein

  • scandal.

  • Weinstein's decades long chain of alleged harassment was a dirty Hollywood secret.

  • As far as we know though, all of Weinstein's accusers were of legal age when the alleged

  • incidents occurred

  • But there is Hollywood's other dirty secret that victimizes the most vulnerable: children.

  • And someone who has spoken out about this is and is painfully aware, is former child star

  • Corey Feldman.

  • You freeze, you're in shock, children aren't supposed to handle that kind of stuff

  • I can tell you the number one problem in Hollywood was and is and will always be pedophilia.

  • Nobody talks about pedophilia.

  • It's the big secret.

  • And it's widespread?

  • Oh yeah.

  • I was surrounded by them.

  • For years now, as evidenced on Nightline in 2011, Corey Feldman has been claiming that

  • he and his good friend, the late Corey Haim, were victims of molestation when they were

  • young actors.

  • Last year he opened up to Alex Hudgens.

  • Why didn't you come forward then?

  • Kids are scared.

  • You know kids don't think 'oh I'm going to go--

  • first of all for me the person that was doing it to me the most you know- well I mean I

  • could say that the two people that did it to me were both close friends of mine.

  • Or so I thought.

  • Feldman claims Haim endured more than him.

  • In his book "Coreyography" he alleges that Haim was raped on the set of the 1986 film

  • "Lucas."

  • The following year, 1987, their film 'The Lost Boys' came out.

  • It was when we were both on the set of "The Lost Boys" that things were happening to both

  • of us.

  • Not from anyone on set but outside elements

  • How did people not know when these are two young- or did they know and they just weren't

  • doing anything about it?

  • I know he told a lot of people, that's the thing that's so upsetting to me.

  • It's not like it's just me that knows this story.

  • Other people know.

  • A lot of people know.

  • They're still working they're still out there and they're some of the richest most powerful

  • people in this business.

  • Back in 2013 on 'The View', Feldman was insistent that perpetrators are still out there, but

  • says he won't name names due to statute of limitation laws in California.

  • He also has another reason that echoes something we've heard regarding Harvey Weinstein.

  • From what I've seen every time somebody tries to bring up a public name and they have a

  • lot of money and power and publicity machine behind them, the person who does the accusing

  • is the one that ends up looking bad.

  • They would pull away the better looking younger kids and keep them for their own after party

  • and there would be rules no swimsuits in the pool.

  • In the wake of the Weinstein scandal, the producers of "An Open Secret," about teen

  • sex abuse in Hollywood, released the film for free on Vimeo for nine days.

  • Much of the film focuses on an organized system within Hollywood for grooming and then abusing

  • children.

  • At the end of the day it's gotta change there are so many people that have been affected

  • by this.

There's protections for animals in filming.
