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.
