Corey Feldman looks to name names, and move forward, with sexual abuse documentary (My) Truth

When Corey Feldman was 15 years old, he dreamed of creating a safe space for kids who had suffered sexual abuse.

The actor, now 48, was just a kid himself when he entered the entertainment industry. He earned his earliest TV credit in 1978, at age 7, appearing in a one-off episode of Eight Is Enough. Over the course of his career, the California native would go on to star in some of the most beloved films of the 1980s, including Gremlins, The Goonies, Stand By Me, and The Lost Boys.

In 2013, he published Coreyography: A Memoir, in which he let the world in on a painful secret: He had been sexually abused when he was a child star, and said his abusers were powerful men in Hollywood. He said his longtime friend and frequent costar Corey Haim, who died from pneumonia in 2010, had also been abused.

Feldman didn't use the real names of the alleged abusers in his memoir — something he says he feels guilty about — but now he says he's ready to expose them in his new documentary (My) Truth: The Rape of 2 Coreys.
