Much has been made of Corey Feldman's claim that he and fellow actor Corey Haim were passed around in the 80s as part of a pedophile ring. He is now asking for $10 million to make a feature film about it, and is refusing to name names at this time.
Corey Feldman is exploiting this situation for personal gain. Please do not give him any money.
He is not naming names for two reasons. One, holding back is earning him money. He just appeared on the Today Show about this matter, and believe me he got paid for it. His little fundraiser is up to 200k last I checked. Second reason is that the names aren't very interesting. You are probably expecting he will drop a bombshell involving huge names equivalent to Harvey Weinstein. The names of his molesters are ones you almost surely have never heard before. But here they are.
ACCUSED MOLESTER #1 WAS LIKELY ALPHY HOFFMAN
ACCUSED MOLESTER #2 WAS LIKELY ROBERT/BOBBY HOFFMAN
In his book, "Coreography: A Memoir", Corey describes his molesters, but changes their names.
One of the names was "Ralph Kaufman". This was actually Alphy Hoffman, who ran Alpha's Soda Pop Club from 1986-1989. Notice the similarity between the names Ralph Kaufman and Alphy Hoffman.
Another name was "Bill Kaufman". This was actually Robert/Bobby Hoffman.
Ralph Kaufman … the great casting director at Paramount who had placed me in ‘The Bad News Bears’ … Ralph put on a porno. He took a seat next to me on the couch … I passed out on the bed. When I woke up, Ralph was on me, exactly the way Ron had been … Ralph and Bill had been working together, coercing young men into their home. I was just the latest in a series of boys to be groomed.You can see that Alphy Hoffman has worked for Bobby Hoffman since 1983 on Alphy's Linkedin.I developed a natural, easy rapport with the head of television casting, a sweet little old man whom I will call Bill Kaufman … Ralph used to tell us that … Bill Kaufman was actually his step-dad, the one who had helped get Ralph into the business. None of that turned out to be true. Bill Kaufman wasn’t Ralph’s step-dad; Bill Kaufman was Ralph’s lover. Together, Ralph and Bill had been working together, coercing young men into their home. I was just the latest in a series of boys to be groomed
Let's talk about Alphy's Soda Pop Club.
This club was an invite only club for teens in the biz.
Corey Haim and Corey Feldman had heavy involvement with it.
On his Today Show appearance, Feldman said that one of his molesters used to run a club for kids. Go to the 5:55 mark if you don't want to watch all of it.
He also appeared on Megyn Kelly and said that the same guy works for the Dodgers. 9:45 mark below.
It is unclear if Alphy actually works for the Dodgers, but his Twitter reveals an obsession with the team, and it dates long before the team's current World Series appearance.

Bobby Hoffman passed away in 1993.
I will continue with the rest in a little bit.
