WORLD Feldman names abuser’

-

COREY Feldman has finally named a few of the men he claims abused him as a child star.

The ’ 80s child actor, who has alleged he and fellow child star Corey Haim suffered abuse at the hands of a Hollywood paedophile ring for years, appeared on Dr. Oz, naming bit- part actor and his former assistant John Grissom, before calling the LAPD’s Elite Special Assault Section.

“This guy on his My Space page and his Facebook page has got pictures of me and Corey Haim,” Feldman revealed of Grissom, who now reportedly lives in Mexico, reports the New York Post. “He still taunts it and flaunts it.”

Grissom appeared in 1988’ s License to Drive, and 1989’ s Dream a Little Dream.

Grissom reportedly previously wrote in a YouTube comment: “I said it’s not me I’m sick and tired of saying that when no one listens. So goddamnit I’m not repeating it anymore.”

But Dr. Oz yesterday posted a video claiming a legal team uncovered that Grissom has an extensive record and went to jail for child molestatio­n.

A Dr. Oz lawyer says on the clip about Grissom’s record: “Everything from assault, theft, drugs … in 2001 he was arrested on child- molestatio­n charges, he was found guilty in 2003 and served time in prison.” They also believe he is in the US.

Feldman detailed his relationsh­ip with a predator in his 2014 book Coreyograp­hy, using the pseudonym Ron Crimson.

He wrote: “I had taken some pills, some concoction that Ron had made up … Ron came over and sat down next to me, a triple- X magazine in his hands … Ron started touching me, reaching across my thigh to the crotch of my pants … When I woke up, he was on me, touching me, tugging on the zipper of my pants. I realised it was happening again.”

And: “Under Ron’s tutelage, my drug use has progressed quickly. I’m doing coke constantly, with Ron … Ron is pushing me to try crack … I wake up. Ron is at me, tugging on my pants.”

Feldman also named child talent manager and convicted sex offender Marty Weiss, who has not commented on the allegation­s.

Feldman’s allegation­s are the latest in a long line of accusation­s of sexual harassment and abuse in Hollywood.
