Michael Jackson made me look at naked photos when I was 13, child star Corey Feldman claims
Feldman, 47, was befriended by the adult singer after he shot to fame in hit movies such as Gremlins and The Goonies
COREY Feldman claims a 35-year-old Michael Jackson showed him “inappropriate” photos of naked men and women when he was aged 13.
The former child actor, 47, was befriended by the adult superstar singer after he appeared in hit movies such as Gremlins, The Goonies and Stand By Me.
And despite claiming that Jackson never sexually abused him, Corey has admitted that there were things that happened between the pair which he says were “inappropriate.”
The Lost Boys star, who says he was sexually abused by paedophile predators in Hollywood, spoke about Jackson during the singer’s 2005 molestation trial.
ABC's Martin Bashir asked Corey if the Thriller star had ever acted inappropriately towards him.
The actor said: "If you consider it inappropriate for a man to look at a book of naked pictures with a child that's 13 or 14 years old - then your answer would be yes.
"We went to his apartment, and I noticed a book that he had out on his coffee table.
“The book contained pictures of grown men and women naked. And the book was focused on venereal diseases and the genitalia."
“I was kind of grossed out by it. I didn't think of it as a big deal.
INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR
“And for all these years, I probably never thought twice about it - but in light of recent evidence, I have to say that if my son was 14 years old - 13 years old, and went to a man's apartment that was 35, and I knew that they were sitting down together talking about this, I would probably beat his ass."
Michael Jackson strongly denied all allegations of sexual abuse made against him.
The star was cleared of all counts of child sex abuse and grooming of Gavin Arvizo in criminal trial in 2005.
This comes as Corey has accused Hollywood of ignoring its paedophile problem in the wake of the explosive Jackson documentary.
I was raped of my innocence
Feldman, 47, said the film industry had made amends for its treatment of women but has still not addressed the alleged abuse of kids.
In an article of NBC, he called for an end to statute of limitations in many US states which makes it impossible to prosecute historic sex abuse cases.
The actor, who announced his role as the ambassador for charity Child USA, said he is now demanding justice for children who have been abused.
He wrote: “What has happened to children in my industry was by and large ignored and, at this point, it’s been all but brushed under the rug.
“Hollywood seems much more ready to accept responsibility for what it's done to women than they are willing to face that there is still a deep-seated virus within this industry — and, most unfortunately, it’s not an industry-exclusive disease, but also effects other parts of our culture.”
He went on to the repeat claims that and his Lost Boys co-star Corey Haim were “raped” as youngsters.
Feldman said: “I was raped of my innocence — as was Corey Haim. That's not okay; that's not acceptable.
“For me, the only real justice is to — hopefully — one day see those guys that did this stuff to us face the consequences that they deserve,' he wrote.”
9 years
Last year, Feldman publicly claimed that he was been repeatedly abused by industry insiders and launched a crowdfunding campaign to finance a $10m documentary about his experiences.
The actor says he has spent the last year working on the doc titled Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys which he has reportedly been shopping at the Sundance Film Festival.
The Utah festival has been buzzing since the screening of two-part doc Leaving Neverland which features fresh child abuse allegations against Feldman's former friend Michael Jackson.
