Hollywood's hypocrites
A growing number of victims allege that behind its curtain
of holier-than-thou progressivism, the entertainment
world's top A-list stars have engaged in the most depraved
sexual abuse against vulnerable children and teens.
And after years of cover-up, the institutional scandal is exploding.

And after years of cover-up, the institutional scandal is exploding.
The latest alleged atrocities involve “X-Men” director Bryan Singer
and at least three other power players in the business:
veteran television executive Garth Ancier, former Disney
executive David Neuman and producer Gary Goddard.

Last month, former child actor and model Michael Egan filed civil suits
against the men, alleging that they passed around underage boys
“like pieces of meat at sex parties” in the late 1990s.
Egan's X-rated lawsuit exposes a cabal of alleged predators
who supposedly plied young boys and teens with hard drugs
and alcohol before sexually assaulting them.

Egan's X-rated lawsuit exposes a cabal of alleged predators
who supposedly plied young boys and teens with hard drugs

Egan says he repeatedly was molested, raped and beaten
from the age of 15 at a mansion in southern California.
The mansion was owned by another of Egan's alleged abusers:
Internet video mogul Marc Collins-Rector.
He's a registered sex offender who authorities said lured
young boys online, drugged and raped them — and reportedly
threatened them with a gun if they did not submit.

Egan's allegations are especially chilling in light of similarly
lurid charges made 17 years ago on the set of Singer's movie
“Apt Pupil.” Three underage boys — ages 14, 16 and 17 —
filed suit alleging Singer and his crew forced them to take off
peach-colored G-strings and strip naked in a shower scene for the movie.
Authorities investigated. The suit was dismissed.

The alleged child rape scandal exposed by Egan does not exist in a vacuum:
• Last year, child actor Corey Feldman alleged rampant pedophilia
in a brave,scathing memoir. He alleged that his best friend
and co-star, the late Corey Haim, was sodomized by an older male
on the set of their hit film “Lucas.” The boys,
reportedly fed cocaine by a string of predators,
attended parties with Hollywood
talent manager and child actors' rep
Marty Weiss. Now a registered sex offender,
Weiss pleaded no contest in 2012 to lewd acts
on a child under the age of 14.

reportedly kidnapped and molested an 8-year-old boy before joining the industry.

and adoration of their peers.

If all of these sickos had been Catholic priests,
college fraternity members or charter school teachers,
we wouldn't have heard the end of the allegations.
Perhaps the social-justice-awareness raisers in the Hollywood left
should take a break from pointing fingers at everyone else —
and put a stop to the monsters in their midst.
