Feldman and Haim were both around 14 years old when filming began for The Lost Boys.

Feldman continued: ‘I said, “What are you talking about?” And he said, “Well, Charlie [Sheen] told me it was OK.”‘

Feldman previously accused Sheen of sexual assault when they made 1986’s Lucas. At the time, Haim was 13 years old, and Sheen was 19.

His claims were explored in Feldman’s documentary, (My) Truth: The Rape Of Two Coreys in 2020. Sheen vehemently denied the allegations at the time.

A rep for the actor told Metro at the time: ‘These sick, twisted and outlandish allegations never occurred.  Period. I would urge everyone to consider the source and read what his mother Judy Haim has to say.’

Haim’s mother added: ‘I feel that this is a huge accusation without any proof and without my kid being here to defend himself, I stand firm, that Charlie DID NOT.’

Haim died in 2010 at the age of 38 from pneumonia and never publicly addressed the accusations.

Feldman was a breakout star in his youth in the 80s after he appeared in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, GremlinsThe Goonies, and Stand by Me.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly in 2020, he commented that he was proud of himself for speaking up, and starting a movement for children abused in Hollywood circles to speak out.

‘I think we’ve really started a movement here. That’s what makes me proud. That’s what makes me feel like I’ve actually accomplished something in my life,’ he said.

Metro has reached out to Corey Haim’s estate for comment.
