"X-Men" Filmmaker Bryan Singer Accused Of Raping 17-Year-Old Boy On Yacht

[My Everything]

 

Bryan Singer, the big-budget filmmaker behind multiple X-Men movies, has been sued for allegedly raping a 17-year-old boy on a yacht, and then using his position in Hollywood to threaten him into silence.

 

In the lawsuit, Cesar Sanchez-Guzman alleges that Singer offered to give him a tour of the yacht during a boat party near Seattle in 2003. Once cornered in a room, Singer allegedly forced the teen to perform oral sex before raping him, according to the lawsuit filed in Washington state court.

 

The lawsuit states that the yacht was owned by wealthy tech investor Lester Waters, and that the party was attended by a number of young gay men. Sanchez-Guzman states that he was 17 at the time of the party and did not know Singer except that he was a friend of Waters.

 

After the alleged assault, Sanchez-Guzman states in the lawsuit that Singer threatened to ruin his reputation if he came forward.

 

A representative for Singer said the filmmaker denied the allegations and "will vehemently defend this lawsuit to the very end." The statement went on to say the lawsuit was filed by the same lawyer who represented Michael Egan, who several years ago accused Singer and others in the industry of sexual misconduct, only to withdraw the claims and face a malicious prosecution case.

 

"Notwithstanding his track record, this same lawyer is coming after Bryan again," the statement said. "We are confident that this case will turn out the same way the Egan case did. And once Bryan prevails, he will pursue his own claims for malicious prosecution."

 

Unlike other alleged victims of sexual abuse constrained by statute of limitations laws that limit when legal action can be filed, Sanchez-Guzman appears to fall within the deadline.

 

Washington state has a three-year statue of limitations for bringing civil action for child sexual abuse, but state courts have interpreted that legislation to mean that victims can bring an action within three years of the date when they discover how the abuse has impacted them.

 

"We are fortunate that the legislature in Washington state have interpreted to allow for survivors to bring cases later in life,†Daniel Fasy, an attorney in Washington state who specializes in child sex abuse cases, told BuzzFeed News. “Often times, trauma surfaces later in life. Often times, people use coping mechanisms to avoid the drama of what happens to them when they are younger. Later, they open up a Pandora's box of feelings when they discover that much of what they were suffering in life could be related to the abuse they suffered as child."

 

Seattle Police did not immediately return a request for comment Thursday night.

Unfortunately no...to go to jail they need to have actual incriminating evidenced ie sperms, signs of rape etc...The problem with these cases are too many of them occurred long time ago. Like they can "investigate" it but unless someone actually made tapes of their assault, they can't be thrown in jail. Public outrage might punish them financially and at best cut off from industry bc studios want to avoid the backlash so prison don't have to be the only way to punish them

Glad they're fighting. These monsters should never see the light again.
