Radar Online has name of Haim's abuser, but won't name!

Haim was allegedly raped by a producer on the set of Lucas, not an actor. His rape by this A-list actor supposedly happened when Haim was in his mid teens, so most likely 14 or 15.
The Radar Online article asserts that it is a prominent A-list actor, who pretends to be a family man but is a closeted homosexual and pedophile, and is still quite powerful in the business. I don't see it anywhere saying this A-list actor actually
worked
with Haim, only that he
was
a "kingpin" of an alleged child-sex ring and forced himself upon in him in multiple places on set or off. I see this individual as someone who is now in his late fifties or older.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was John Travolta considering his tabloid history.

Radar Online twisted the story. The person who did it on the set of Lucas was the big name. The person who did it later on was some C-level actor. This could all be found in Feldmans book, as well as a simple google search.

EDITED.
No, Feldman never said Haim was raped by an A-list actor in his mid-teens. He said Haim was involved sexually with an overweight male who was in Friday the 13th (largely thought to be Dominic Brascia, who is now 58.
Feldman also said Haim was sexually involved with the manager Marty Weiss, that they'd had a consensual sexual relationship, and Feldman had had sexual contact with Weiss as well.
And Feldman said Corey had confided to him that he'd "allowed himself to be sodomized" by an older male on the set of Lucas, who'd told him that "this is what guys do." Haim would have been 13 at the time. He described the perp as to this day "one of the most successful in the business" and "making money hand over fist." This is who many believe was Charlie Sheen. -

Regardless, the Radar Online article says it is some big A-list actor now. Many of the preceding articles that are on the web referring to the incident primarily via Cory Feldman all seem to suggest the person who sodomized him on the set of Lucas was a Hollywood producer. I did a quick Google search for related terms and found two or three of them referencing "producer" or "bigwig", but not A-list actor like the current article. Obviously, it's possible that producer/bigwig/A-list actor can concomitantly apply to a single individual.

Lucas was released in 1984 so it's quite probable that filming occurred up to a year prior to that and he would be 11 at the time,
Nooooo, Lucas came out in '86. It was filmed in summer of '85.
Haim was 13.
Do some fact checking first

Yeah, I did soon after I wrote it based off memory and realized I was wrong so I removed it. I don't think it's Charlie Sheen, because it doesn't make sense to describe him as a family man and a closeted homosexual due to all the publicized relationships he's had with porn stars and other females, but it's Hollyweird so you never know.

Exactly. They are a gossip rag. They're trying to create a sensationalistic, shocking story, so they say it's a family man who lived a double life, because that's lurid and gets people talking and freaking out about it.
The rumors have been around about Sheen & Haim for many years, long before Feldman's boo238k came out. I'm pretty sure it's him, but I hope it's not him because it would be more interesting for it to be someone else. -

While (obviously) true, if sensationalism is what the publication is about, I doubt juxtaposing "family man" with the revelation that it is thrice divorced, porn star infatuated, and sex-obsessed Charlie Sheen will elicit the phrase's intended purpose and so return little more than a shrug, "eh", or false advertising rebuke.

Thank you, I see it and you're right it does say thathowever, it's obvious that Corey Feldman got his math wrong. He writes:
"Corey was raped at the age of eleven. And like many, many victims of sex abuse, drug use became an easy, if also tragic, way for him to escape the weight of that shame.
There is nothing I would rather do than publicly out the man who molested - and ultimately destroyed - my dearest friend. Unfortunately, that is not the way the world works. You can't go around publicly accusing industry titans without expecting to find yourself in the middle of a nasty lawsuit"
It's clear he's talking about the guy who he later reports sodomized Haim on the set of Lucas, "one of the most powerful men in the industry" who is still "making money hand over fist."
He got his math wrong, or he shaved two yrs off Haim's chronological age in order to tug at reader's heartstrings, because the "titan" he's talking about that raped Haim in the book introduction is clearly the same guy that he later reports in more detail about on the set of Lucas, which filmed in '85 when Haim was 13 and not 11. -

Of course you don't hear about Sheen's HIV diagnosis anymore. It's old news now. The reason Charlie came forward with the news was because of blackmailers. Now that he came out with it, there's nothing anyone can blackmail him with, regarding that.
Yes, the Sheens are a powerful family in the industry. However, Charlie does not have a family-man persona. His father does. Emilio you do not hear too much about anymore, to judge as to whether he comes across as a family man.

As already pointed out, the as of yet unnamed abuser probably continued to abuse many victims. So maybe Radar has dug them up and there are possibly some whose allegations time frames fall within the statute of limitations for rape.
Not exactly like what is happening with Bill Cosby, but could be similar.
