Bryan Singer Gets Sued! Alleged 2003 Sexual Assault And Rape Attempt Comes To Light
Yet another Hollywood persona under the allegation of sexual assault!
American film director/producer Bryan Singer has been sued for sexually assaulting and raping Cesar Sanchez Guzman, who was just 17-years-old back in 2003, as per reports on December 8.
The lawsuit filed by the victim's attorney claims that Bryan was with many young gay men at a yacht party in Seattle and was being friendly enough to take Guzman on a tour of the yacht.
After they got inside an empty room, Bryan forced sexual activities upon Guzman and compelled him to perform oral sex. Further, he performed oral sex on Guzman forcibly and anally raped him.
Despite Guzman's plead to stop, he claimed that Bryan continued forcing his inappropriate behavior. The lawsuit further added that Bryan placed an offer to help Guzman with his acting career, if he remained silent about the incident, and even threatened to ruin his reputation if he became vocal about the incident.
Guzman's representative, Jeff Herman has demanded compensation for the impact that the incident has had upon Guzman, which include 'emotional distress, mental anguish, and physical and mental pain and suffering, a decrease in his ability to enjoy life, along with medical and legal expenses.
However, Bryan has denied all of those claims according to his lawyer, Andrew Bettler. Andrew affirmed,
''Bryan categorically denies these allegations and will vehemently defend this lawsuit to the very end. Cesar Sanchez-Guzman apparently claims that he did not remember this alleged incident from 2003 until now. Significantly, when Sanchez-Guzman filed for bankruptcy only a few years ago, he failed to disclose this alleged claim when he was supposed to identify all of his assets, but conveniently, now that the bankruptcy court discharged all of his debts, he is able to recall the alleged events.''
Even if we keep this issue aside, it is not the first time Bryan has received lawsuits regarding sexual allegations!
Previously, Bryan was sued for sexual assault by Michael Egan back in 2014, and Michael was represented by Jeff Herman as well.
Prior to Guzman's lawsuits, Bryan was fired from his job as a director of the upcoming Freddie Mercury biopic 'Bohemian Rhapsody.' Reportedly, his 'unexpected leave of absence,' which left the 'Twentieth Century Fox' in the lurch, and his inappropriate behavior with the actors led Twentieth Century Fox to fire from the project.
