X-Men Director Bryan Singer Accused of Molesting Teen Back in Late 90s

Bryan Singer, director of superhero flicks such as X-Men, X2, X-Men: First Class, and Superman Returns, is being sued by a man who claims that Singer drugged and raped him in the late 1990s back when he was 17-years-old. The accuser claims that he was trying to break into acting and modeling when he came to Singer's attention.

Among other things, the accuser claims that he had been unknowingly administered drugs within alcoholic drinks. He claims that he was fondled by Singer and others within the entertainment industry. He also claims that he was orally and anally raped by the director and others. You can read all of the details here.

Singer's attorney claims that the lawsuit is "completely without merit... We are very confident that Bryan will be vindicated in this absurd and defamatory lawsuit... It is obvious that this case was filed in an attempt to get publicity at the time when Bryan’s new movie is about to open in a few weeks."
