Teens Sexually Exploited In Hollywood

Aaliyah

Hollywood is not a good place for a kid. So many teens have been exploited by sexual predators in tinsel town. Being sexually propositioned when one is young and vulnerable is terrible. However, it has happened to many and continues to occur in Hollywood.

The late R&B singer, Aaliyah, pictured above, was sexually exploited by singer, R. Kelly, in her early teens, well before the legal age of consent. Things were so out of control, Kelly illegally procured a fake I.D. for her at age 15 and wed her in a courthouse ceremony.

Backstreet Boys

Numerous other aspiring teen singers, ranging in age from 12-16, came forward stating, Kelly sexually took advantage of them, promising to make them famous and lavishing gifts upon them as well.

Lou Pearlman

Members of the pop boy bands, Backstreet Boys, NSYNC and LFO, to name a few, were preyed upon by sexual predator and label owner, Lou Pearlman, when they were underage youths recording for his company, Transcontinental Records.

It left the young men with psychological problems, forcing some to seek therapy. There was one reported incident of a teen asking him for a record deal and what he would need to do to obtain one, prompting Pearlman to open his robe, exposing his penis.

Chris Stokes

Chris Stokes, 41, the manager of R&B boybands, B2K, Immature/IMX and NLT, has been accused of sexually molesting its members in their early teens. He denies the allegations, but singer Raz-B, states Stokes anally raped him and would make all the members of B2K have showers with him.

Tevin Campbell

Former child star and soulful R&B singer, Tevin Campbell, was said to have been propositioned by gays in the industry, even when he was an underage teen. Campbell then developed homosexual tendencies. In 1999, Campbell was arrested for soliciting a sex act from an undercover police man in a Los Angeles neighborhood.

Jamie Lyn Spears

There are also stories of former child stars, rapper Bow Wow and actress, Jamie Lyn Spears, having been taken advantage of sexually, before the age of consent, in separate, unrelated incidents, by males in Hollywood. Both deny the claims, but many insist they are true.

Chris Brown and Rihanna

Former couple, Rihanna and Chris Brown, were both taken advantage of in a sexual manner, before the age of consent. Rihanna, began sleeping with Jay-Z at age 16, in exchange for a record deal, fame and fortune. Stories have dogged Chris Brown, regarding him having sexual relations with his middle aged, female manager, when he was 15-years-old.

Chastity Bono, the daughter of singers, Cher and the late, Sonny Bono, who made appearances on their television show as a child, was sexually violated at age 15, by a middle age lesbian her mother left her with, while she was on a concert tour. Bono later became a lesbian and recently had a regrettable sex change.

Jerry Lee Lewis and Myra Gale Brown

At age 23, famous singer, Jerry Lee Lewis, caused terrible controversy by marrying his 13-year-old cousin, Myra Gale Brown. His career suffered greatly for it, as his conduct was completely improper.
