The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating Corey Feldman's claims that he was sexually abused by men in Hollywood as a child.

"Corey Feldman filed a report with the Los Angeles Police Department. There is no further information at this time, and his report is being investigated,' a spokesperson told the Mail Online.

This confirmation follows him tweeting on Monday (sic):

"IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN UPD8: I JUST COMPLETED A FORMAL SIT DOWN INTERVIEW W @LAPDHQ SPECIAL DIVISION, & GAVE THEM ALL THE INFO I KNOW! THIS WAS OFFICIALLY THE 1ST FORMAL REPORT EVER TAKEN ON ANY OF MY CASES, AS SBPD NEVER FOLLOWED UP BACK IN 1993, & HAS NO RECORD OF MY COMPLAINTS.

"THE LAPD WILL BEGIN AN OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION NOW! THINGS R HEATING UP, IM PRAYING 4 SAFETY!"

Last week, Corey Feldman publicly identified a man he alleges molested him when he was a child film star in the 1980s.

The Goonies actor named his former assistant and co-star Jon Grissom as one of his abusers during a TV appearance in which he also reported the allegations to police.

Feldman has long told of being sexually abused by a Hollywood paedophile ring, which he is trying to make a film about, but has never previously named those responsible.

He named Grissom, an actor who had small roles in films alongside Feldman in the 1980s, on The Dr Oz Show.

"That is him," said Feldman as presenter Mehmet Oz held up a photo of Grissom on a mobile phone. "That is the guy."

The Lost Boys star said Grissom had sexually assaulted him when he was aged 13 or 14.
