The Hollywood sex abuse scandal just got louder with three additional lawsuits filed in Hawaii today against 'insiders'.

Last week, Florida attorney Jeff Herman spoke about how there were several sexual abuse cases in Hollywood overlapping each other that would be filed Monday. In the aftermath of Bryan Singer's alleged abuse, the lawyer confirmed that there was a certain group of people with influence sexually exploiting children.

According to Variety, 3 Hollywood executives are being accused of abusing teenage boys in the latest round of court filings:

Lawsuit Overview

It is not yet clear what the complaints are in the newly filed lawsuits however THR reports that back in 2009 attorney Jeff Herman had previously been "suspended from the practice of law by the Florida State Supreme Court." Whether this will cast any doubt on the current lawsuits is unclear.
