Would, who's been acting since he was eight, told The Sunday Times.

There are a lot of vipers in this industry.

People who only have their own interests in mind would compared the unnamed abusers to the British D.

J.

Jimmy Saville, who faced dozens of accusations of rape and assault spanning more than four decades.

Those claims were largely swept under the rug until after Saville's death.

It's important to note that Woods claims are unsubstantiated, but other child stars from the same era have made similar accusations in the past.

In 2011 Corey Feldman said he and other child stars in the eighties were abused by people with a lot of power in the entertainment industry.

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

There was a circle of older men that surrounded themselves around this group of kids.

Declining to give specifics, Feldman said.

A Hollywood executive is directly responsible for the drug and alcohol problems that contributed to the death of his friend and fellow child star Corey Came.

Would said he was lucky to have a mom who protected him from abuse, but added.

I've been led down dark paths to realize that these things probably are still happening for New Z I'm grants unison.
