I remember watching this documentary about Madhubala (my favourite actress btw from the black and white era) where it said that she was raped by a producer at the age of 13 or something like that. Her father basically wanted her to make it big in the industry anyhow and practically sold her off....later when she got an offer from Hollywood, he got scared that she will go there and then he won't be able to control her and leech off her earnings, so he did not let her go to States. this kind of sexual predatory thing is as old as the industry is....and they probably inherited this culture from older forms of popular entertainment where women and even men would be exploited...
