Another man has come forward to accuse director Bryan Singer of sexual abuse.
The unnamed British man alleges that the filmmaker, 48, sexually assaulted him when he was just 17 in a hotel room following the London premiere of “Superman Returns” in 2006, reports TMZ.
Jeff Herman, the man’s lawyer, claims that Singer and Gary Goddard started touching his client, at which point the man asked them to stop. It was then that another large man came in and became violent with the accuser in an attempt to force him into sex.
Herman also represents Michael Egan, the now-31-year-old man who accused Singer of sexually abusing him as a teen last month. Goddard was also accused of abusing Egan, in a lawsuit filed a week later.
According to the most recent suit, the unnamed British man never had sex with Singer, but the director did request that the man sit on his chest and masturbate. The man complied because he feared what would happen if he didn’t.
Lawyers for both Singer and Goddard claim the allegations are untrue.
“It is time for the media and public to focus their attention on Mr. Herman’s nefarious motives and tactics which seem to be driven solely by his need to shake down an innocent man like Bryan Singer,” said the director’s lawyer, Marty Singer.
