Elijah Wood has claimed that Hollywood is in the grip of a child sexual abuse scandal.
The actor who played Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings said that Hollywood has been been gripped by cases of sexual abuse similar to the Jimmy Savile scandal in Britain — and that the child abuse is ‘probably still happening’.

He told the Sunday Times that there were “a lot of vipers in this industry…there is darkness in the underbelly”.
He also said that his mother had protected him from abuse when he became an actor at the age of eight years old but said other young actors had been “preyed upon”.
The Mail Online reports:
Shocking allegations that top Hollywood figures have been protecting child abusers have circulated widely in recent years.
Several industry figures have been convicted following claims of sex abuse and former child actors – including The Goonies actor Corey Feldman, 44 – claimed he was ‘surrounded’ by molesters when he was a teenager.
Anne Henry, co-founder of Bizparentz – a group to help young actors – said that Tinseltown is currently sheltering around ‘100 active abusers’.
Wood, who stars in his new film The Trust told The Sunday Times that his mother had protected him from abuse when he first arrived in Hollywood aged eight.
But he said: ‘I’ve been led down dark paths to realise that these things are probably still happening.’
The actor, who played Frodo Baggins in Lord of the Rings, believes that other actors remain in danger.
He added: ‘If you’re innocent, you have very little knowledge of the world and you want to succeed.
‘People with parasitic interests will see you as their prey. What upsets me about these situations is that the victims can’t speak as loudly as the people in power.’
Wood was talking to the Sunday Times about Jimmy Savile, a British entertainer who sexually abused dozens of victims over five decades.
He was knighted by the Queen and his crimes were only revealed after his death, despite years of rumor and innuendo and led to allegations of a cover-up by government figures and broadcasting chiefs.
Henry believes that around three quarters of child actors that ‘went off the rails’ later in their life had been abused in Hollywood.
She said: ‘This problem has been endemic in Hollywood for a long time and it’s finally coming to light.
‘Very bad people are still working here, protected by their friends.’
In the last 10 years, several wealthy and significant people involved in the industry have been convicted.
Some have left prison and returned to Hollywood and continued to work with children.
Wood, who now knows he was lucky to avoid being abused, compared the allegations in Hollywood to the claims linked to Savile following his death in October 2011.
Wood said: ‘You all grew up with Savile – Jesus, it must have been devastating. Clearly something major was going on in Hollywood. It was all organised.
‘There are a lot of vipers in this industry. There is a darkness in the underbelly – if you can imagine it, it’s probably happened.’

This is old news. A person has to be blind and deaf not to know this truth by now.
But until it stops everyone needs to keep repeating this!! Don’t let this fade like it’s done in past decades. TIME TO STOP!
Ride the dragon or else.
There is no greater evil in the world, than praying upon the most vulnerable.
Those who support abortion are also committing a grave evil.
Do you ever bother to think before you post?? Better yet, do you even bother to think period…
WHERE DID THE BLOOD IN THE LEAD IN COME INTO THIS? I HATE THIS KIND OF JOURNALISM. FAKE INTRO’S. Nothing but an ad campaign .
There is more than mere pedophilia going on here. As we have seen the abortion industry is marketing and selling children’s bodies to anyone who is willing to buy them. In Indonesia for example, obama’s home. monkey brains are a delicacy but I am sure there are more primitive attributions than mere taste to such consumption. Imagine then the demand for the brains of those higher in the evolutionary scale by those who believe in such things and are inclined toward blood lust way by religion as in the case of the muslim. I am sure that the abortion industry’s new found markets under obama and hillary were a step up for him in many ways. There is no doubt that hillary joined him for dinner as her introduction to this quaint custom and religion prior to the sacrifices at Benghazi.
What does this have to do with this article?? What YOU need to imagine is You & the tree hugger joining forces & instead of bitching about it, do something about it or, shut up. Judgement day will come for all & God will decide how to deal with all the scum.
I am doing something about it. I am pointing to the sinners and exposing them so that they can be ostracized by society as they must be. obama, hillary and their ilk are evil and they must be exposed for their evil.
Really ?!?! Seriously?!?! That’s what you consider doing something about it?? This is the answer you’re going with?? Lame & weak…
Obviously, your birth certificate is an apology letter from the condom manufacturer.
It’s not an answer it is the truth. And I am broadcasting it everywhere. What are you doing – loser?
Looks like yo mama had an epic fail… YOU…!!!
Newsflash… There’s a place to spew your colon blow about Obummer & Killary, it’s just not here.
I’m doing what your dumb was should be doing, & that would be providing everyone with a list of names of some of the parasitic pedophile filth in Hollywood. While none of them are specifically implicated but should be, a handful of people, News Corp. President Peter Chernin, Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey, Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger, Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton, Warner Bros. Chairman Kevin Tsujihara, CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves whose great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel, MGM Chairman Terrence Lanni, and former NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker, who is currently the president of CNN Worldwide, all run the movie industry as well as the television and news scenes. Please feel free to copy & paste this list.
Regarding this article…This is what your dumb was needs to be broadcasting.
Screw you maggot democrat. Who the hell are you to tell your betters what to do? I will post the truth whenever and wherever I want .
Screw-you-maggot. Who the hell are you to tell your betters what to do? I will post the truth whenever and where ever I chose. Feel free to copy and paste what I said about obama/hillary.
WTF
What happened to the original article? The one about Keanu and the Hollywood elites getting high on baby’s blood? This article was inserted into its place.
Interesting. This happens a lot in right wing looney-land.
The meek shall overcome. The truth is being revealed. NO JUSTICE NO PEACE.
