Musician Corey Feldman has revealed the name of one of the men who he said sexually abused him when he was a working as a child actor.
Based on the show team’s own investigation, Dr. Oz showed Feldman a photo of actor Jon Grissom, whose full name is Cloyd Jon Grissom. Upon seeing the photo, Feldman alleged that was one of his abusers.
According to the Dr. Oz show, Grissom has an extensive arrest record, including charges of for assault, theft, and drugs. He was arrested in 2001 on child molestation charges and sentenced to jail in 2003, and is is currently in violation of reporting as a sex offender, the show said.
Feldman wasn’t sure of Grissom’s whereabouts, but said he thought he was in Mexico based on his social media posts. Dr. Oz’s legal counsel said, however, said that Grissom was more likely in the United States since he had an address in Riverside, California, as recently as October.
Feldman said that he called the Santa Barbara police with names of pedophiles in Hollywood years ago, but was told that it was out of their jurisdiction.
Feldman mentioned Grissom in his book “Coreyography: A Memoir” using the pseudonym Ron Crimson. He said he was instructed to use a pseudonym for Grissom for legal reasons.
But with accusations of sexual assault against film producer Harvey Weinstein, and then accusations of pedophilia against actor Kevin Spacey, Feldman said he wanted to expose the pedophilia ring he has claimed for years exists, based on his own experiences growing up in Hollywood.
“I think Corey is under the mistaken impression that this happened such a long time ago that nobody would care, that the statute of limitations have run [out],” said Oz’s legal counsel. “But even if you don’t report at 29 [years old], if you report at any time, and the police are able to independently verify the evidence that you’ve presented, they are likely to go after the person.”
