Corey Feldman's 1993 interview where he allegedly names his sexual predators discovered by Santa Barbara police

Corey Feldman's admission of his alleged sexual predators could be on a tape just discovered by Santa Barbara police.

A spokesperson for the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office confirmed on Tuesday night that the department did in fact discover audio recordings where Feldman named his alleged abusers during a 1993 investigation into Michael Jackson as the "Goonies" star suggested in an interview on "Today" in October.

"In a container which included the original reports from the investigation, the Sheriff's Office located some detective working copies of audio recordings made during the investigation. A copy of Mr. Feldman's interview was located," Kelly Hoover, the department's public information officer, confirmed to Fox News.

Hoover explained to Fox News that the recent inquiries into Feldman's interview led to additional review of the files and audio recordings and additional reports were discovered in storage.

In his interview with Matt Lauer on Oct. 30, Feldman, 46, revealed that names were on record after Lauer pressed him about never releasing anything.

"If anyone wants to go back to 1993 when I was interviewed by the Santa Barbara Police Department, I sat down and I gave them the names," Feldman said on the "Today" show. "They're on record. They have all this information."

The Sheriff's Office previously said in a statement that they were not aware of Feldman naming any suspects.

It is unclear what exactly is on the audio files.

Hoover told Fox News, "Due to the fact that this case involves the alleged sexual abuse of a child, we are unable to comment further and any documentation or evidence related to this case is exempt from release."

Feldman has been discussing his attempted to takedown pedophilia in Hollywood since he proposed the idea of a $10 million movie based on the predatory behavior of young men in the business back in October.
