His associates might have observed that the dynamic of the show was reminiscent of Collins-Rector's own circumstances, as he shared a house with his partner Chad Shackley and a 17-year-old former child actor, Brock Pierce.
Despite critical acclaim and an Oscar-nominated director- Amy Berg-An Open Secret received "Zero Hollywood offers to distribute the film." It did not help when former child actor Michael Egan, who appeared in the film, dropped his case against executives Garth Ancier and David Neuman, Masters of the Universe director Gary Goddard, and Singer, after his lawyers lost confidence in his case and he was convicted on an unrelated charge of fraud.
Amid the furor of the "Me Too" campaign, adult victims of sexual abuse have received more attention than child victims.
When Asia Argento, who revealed her abuse at the grubby hands of Harvey Weinstein in a groundbreaking New Yorker article in 2017, stood onstage at Cannes Film Festival and roared to an enthusiastic ovation that Weinstein would "Never be welcome here again" and that men would be "Held accountable for their conduct against women," she made no mention of boys and girls who had endured abuse.
The film industry is strangely forgiving of child abusers.
Victor Salva was convicted of molesting a child actor, filming the molestation, and possessing child pornography, but went on to direct several films, one of which included "Tasteless, cursory allusions" to a character's abuse.
Decades of abuse and impenetrable institutional silence have fostered a desire for a full and verifiable reform of organizational attitudes towards child performers and adult abusers.
