Hollywood director Bryan Singer, best known for his four
successful “X-Men” movies, has been accused in a lawsuit of sexually assaulting
a 17-year-old boy in 2003.
According to court documents filed Thursday in Seattle, in
the northwestern state of Washington, Singer is accused of sexually assaulting
Cesar Sanchez-Guzman during a party on a yacht owned by one of the director’s
wealthy friends.
Singer offered to give the teen a tour of the yacht, then
allegedly lured him into a room, “shut the door and demanded that Cesar perform
oral sex,” the court filing reads.
When the youth refused, “Singer forced him into acts of oral
and anal sex.”
After the incident, Singer allegedly approached
Sanchez-Guzman and told him he was a Hollywood producer, saying “he could help
Cesar get into acting as long as Cesar never said anything about the incident.”
Singer then allegedly “told Cesar that no one would believe
him if he ever reported the incident and that he could hire people who are
capable of ruining someone’s reputation.”
In a statement released by Singer’s lawyer to US
entertainment media, the director “categorically denies these allegations and
will vehemently defend this lawsuit to the very end.”
