FOX NEWS: Several stars have come forward recently with casting couch tales, saying they were appalled and shocked they were asked for sexual favors in order to get coveted jobs in Hollywood.
But for all of the talk of outrage, few of the alleged perpetrators have been named. In fact, a number of entertainment industry experts and insiders declined to even comment on the hot-button issue when approached by FoxNews.com.
So why are entertainment pros mum when it comes to sexual predators in Hollywood?
"Actors don't name names for several reasons. Many times it is because they want to move on from that unpleasant experience, or perhaps they succumbed to it, or the 'perpetrator' was so huge that they do not want to defame that person because they think highly of their work," Los Angeles-based celebrity psychologist, Dr. Nancy Irwin, told FOX411's Pop Tarts column. "Others don't want to be labeled a 'snitch' or feel nobody will believe them because it is such a cliché. Sadly, the cliché does perpetuate, probably because the creative process in and of itself can be a seductive process, and the temptation is non-stop in Hollywood."
Hollywood-based career strategist Suzannah Galland said she hears many horror stories from friends who are top actresses. These victims don't name names "out of fear," but she says code of silence can turn tragic.
"Two (friends) have told me of date rapes perpetrated by major male stars. In both cases, these women agreed to a friendly dinner," she said. "One of these friends had no interest in a romantic relationship at all with the star that was pursuing her, and she made that clear to him. All the same she was in awe of the man's talent, and happy to discuss possible roles with him. An alliance would have been hugely helpful to her career. So she was trusting when he invited her after dinner to stop by his hotel, where he had a stack of scripts to show her. Once the door was shut, he raped her. 'I never told anybody,' she explained to me, 'because he is who he is and I was ashamed.'"
Another friend confided to Galland that she was approached by an award-winning actor she found attractive. However, when she went back to his place to "discuss scripts," things took an ugly turn.

SIR David Attenborough yesterday defended Frozen Planet's fake polar bear footage - by comparing BBC nature documentaries to movies. His blunt remarks came as more footage from the series was exposed as a sham.
In a surprising justification for duping millions of viewers, the TV star argued that owning up to splicing archive film with real Arctic scenes during the programme would have spoiled the mood.
His blunt remarks came as more footage from the series was exposed as a sham.
Speaking after our exclusive story yesterday revealed shots of a polar bear and her newborn cubs were staged in a zoo using fake snow, Sir David, 85, said: "The question is, during the middle of this scene when you are trying to paint what it is like in the middle of winter at the pole, to say 'Oh, by the way, this was filmed in a zoo'.

Jeg vil fortælle en historie om hvordan Viborg distriktspsykologi benytter sig af metoder der mest af alt minder østtysk social kontrol, fra før murens fald.
Jeg vil fortælle om en pige, som har været "fanget" i det psykiatriske system siden hun flyttede til Viborg for at starte på en frisk.
Mette er det man vil kalde en patient med tilbagevendende indlæggelser med svær depression og psykotiske lidelser som har haft udslag i selvdestruktiv adfærd.Mettes Læge Frank Bang Nissen valgte i forbindelse med en indlæggelse, at isolere Mette i 8 dage i et rum uden seng, gardiner og personlige ejendele.
Efter en sådan isolering var Mette både chokeret og rystet over denne "behandling".
Mette besluttede sig derfor at henvende sig til Frank Bang Nissen, for at gøre opmærksom, at hun havde i sinde at klage over den behandling, hun havde modtaget på Viborg Psykiatriske hospital (3. etage)
DET SKULLE HUN ALDRIG HAVE GJORT!
For da hun henvendte sig, blev hun på det kraftigste afvist, med den begrundelse at hun udviste truende adfærd.
Efter at Mette havde forladt lægegangen, ringede Frank Bang Nissen til Viborg politi, og fortalte at han var blevet truet idet han påstod, at Mette havde fremsat en skriftlig trussel. Trusselen bestod i at Frank Bang Nissen mente at have set, at der på Mettes hånd stod, at hun var i besiddelse af en pistol.
Ingen politifolk og ingen ansatte på Viborg psykiatriske afd. kunne bekræfte, at en sådan besked var skrevet i hendes hånd.
Anmeldelsen forsagede at Mette igen blev indlagt og isoleret.
MEN HER TAGER HISTORIEN EN ALVORLIG DREJNING
Efter at have været isoleret i 4 dage bliver Mette tilset af Læge Karen Olling. Karen Olling er meget bekymret for Mette, da hun påstår, at hun samme dag som Mette blev indlagt, er blevet ringet op af Viborg Politi, som hævder at Mette har kontaktet dem, og givet dem besked om at hun har en pistol, og er på vej op på lægegangen for at skyde læger.
Det får Mette til at bryde sammen, da hun udmærket ved at dette er en løgn.
Mettes netværk kontakter derefter Henrik Nielsen, som er Mettes kontaktperson, for at få bekræftet om Karen Olling virkelig har fremsat en sådan beskyldning, hvilket han ærligt bekræfter ord for ord.
Heldigvis er Mettes venner og familie hurtige til at kontakte Mettes teleselskab, som hurtigt kan afkræfte Karen Ollings påstand om at hun skulle have haft ringet til politiet.
Hele denne sag bliver ignoreret af Viborg Psyk, indtil Mettes tilsynsværge og en bekendt bringer det på bane til et lægemøde. Den daværende læge Andreas Glahn erkender, at han ikke kender noget som helst til sådan en anklage, men lover at følge op på sagen.
Ved det næste lægemøde vælger den daværende læge Andreas Glahn igen at ignorerer sagen, indtil en af Mettes bekendte bringer emnet på bane. Derefter erkender den pågældende læge, at han har haft kontaktet Viborg Politis Paul Østergaard, som afviser, at have modtaget et sådan opkald.
DET VIL SIGE AT HÆNDELSEN ALDRIG HAR FUNDET STED.
Det ændrer bare ikke på det faktum, at Viborg Psyk har valgt at overføre Mette til et retpsykiatrisk hospital i Risskov (langt væk fra hendes venner og bekendte) i mindst 6 måneder.
(Desuden blev Mette overført til Risskov Ret Psyk. den selv samme dag som læge Frank Bang Nissen også blev overført til Risskov - som læge)
