, who has been accused of sexual assault, from guild’s Los Angeles local sexual harassment committee.
“If SAG-AFTRA does not respond appropriately to credible allegations of sexual harassment, abuse and assault such as those at issue, it will not retain the ability to act as a respected, proactive force combatting sexual harassment, abuse and assault in our Union and our industry,” the resolution said.
Feldman said in a statement Monday, “As a victim myself of sexual predators and an avid spokesperson on behalf of victims everywhere, I welcome an investigation. Beyond that, I don’t care to dignify the alleged claims of women who have been stalking me and harassing me endlessly for some time, for which I have contacted police.”
Feldman produced the documentary “My Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys,” which centered on alleged sexual assaults against him and child actor Corey Haim in the 1980s. The film, directed by Brian Herzlinger, was released earlier this year. Haim died in 2010.
