I just completed a formal sit down interview with the LAPD special division and 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 and has no record of my complaints. The LAPD will begin an official investigation now. Things are heating up, I'm praying for my safety," he wrote.

The LAPD is currently investigating the case, though they refused to confirm the allegations the actor made. Meanwhile, Corey's "Goonies" co-star Sean Astin has shown his support for Corey by tweeting out the hashtag #IStandWithCorey.
Sean also posted an essay on TwitLonger where he reflected on his youth as he spent time with Corey. "Corey can crusade. He is very good at crusading. He has my friendship and my loyalty. He has my support, not my blind support, but my reasoned, careful support. His recent media appearances have been masterful," he wrote.
"I thought Megyn Kelly missed a real opportunity to connect with Corey on a personal level in their interview. But Corey was great. He has raised a couple hundred grand toward the movie he wants to make," he added. "I have no doubt that he will not shy away from depicting the deep pain and suffering, as well as the devious and horrifying tactics that pedophiles use to commit their crimes. If he knows of specific people and can leverage some legal position to stop evil from happening, God Bless him. I'm proud of Corey. But, I do not pledge blind fealty to my friend."
Corey previously started a fundraising campaign for a film in which he plans to reveal the men who had abused him. "Right off the bat, I can name six names, one of them who is still very powerful today," he said.
