Corey Feldman was in Albany Wednesday to ensure that child-sex predators are brought to justice.
The “Stand By Me” actor and child-sex-abuse survivor, 46, joined advocates at the capital to push a bill that gives victims more time to sue abusers.

The Child Victims Act would also create a one-year window for previously unaddressed claims to be heard in court.
