Corey Feldman To Name Sex Abusers In New Book

Corey Feldman is ready to name names. Now 40, the actor has been open about being sexually abused as a child actor. Feldman said last year on “Nightline” that he was surrounded by pedophiles while working in Hollywood. Feldman told British tabloid The Daily Mail this week that he’s penning a tell-all book in which he’ll disclose the names of two abusers. He said he believes revealing the names will put him in danger, but that he owes it to his own young son, Zen, now 7. Feldman has said that his close friend, the late Corey Haim, was also abused. The pair confronted their pasts on their 2008 reality show, “The Two Coreys.” Haim died of pneumonia in March 2010. Feldman did not reveal when he hoped to publish the book.
