It seems like EVERYONE in Hollywood is involved in a sex crime allegation at this point.
Seriously… not a day has gone by in the last two months where there hasn’t been a new allegation. Some days have seen multiple major allegations pop up all at once.
The LAPD is revealing that they have a HUGE number of Hollywood-related cases open… and that they expect many, many more.
According to this:
The LAPD says it has 28 open sex-crime investigations linked to Hollywood and the media, and that it expects more will come.
As well as the investigations it currently has open, the force has also passed on 37 cases to other jurisdictions where it believes the crimes may have occurred.
‘We anticipate the LAPD and other jurisdictions will receive even more high profile sex crime reports in the coming weeks and months,’ Police Chief Charlie Beck told the LA Times.
‘We encourage all victims of sexual assault to come forward to report these crimes.’
They’re even opened teams of cold-case investigators to research accusations that happened in the past:
To that end, they have opened up two teams of five detectives each, with cold-case investigators on board to help look into historical accusations.
However, he noted that some – such as Corey Feldman’s claim that he was sexually abused by two adults while a child actor – had passed the statute of limitations.
However, he thanked Feldman for coming forward, and asked others who believe that they have been affected to do the same.
‘We recognize the significant trauma these victims suffer at the hands of the predators who commit these heinous crimes,’ Beck said
‘Our detectives are coordinating closely with our local prosecutors and other police agencies including the NYPD.‘The high profile nature of these particular cases has not changed our unyielding commitment to seek justice for ALL victims of sexual assault.’
Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey has also announced this month that veteran sex crimes prosecutors will examine the cases put to them by the LAPD.
This has legitimately become a huge deal.
I wonder who else will be uncovered before this is all over.
Surely every former sexual abuser in Hollywood must be wetting himself right about now.
You know what I think is interesting? Not much has been said about professional athletes. We’ve covered Hollywood and politicians… do you think they’re next?
