Etwas stutzig macht mich trotzdem das Timing und die Art der Anklage - nicht, dass das Opfer mittlerweile über 30 ist, sondern eher, dass das jetzt natürlich nur kurze Zeit vor dem Start des neuen X-Men Films gemacht wird, ist schon ziemlich komisch. Auch die Art - es ist handelt sich hier um keine Stafanzeige sondern um einen "civil case" - es geht also (nur) ums Geld. :?
Bleibt abzusehen, wie sich das ganze entwickelt und wie das den Kinofilm beeinflusst
Bryan Singer accused of sexually abusing 17-year-old in 1999Wenn man zu der Sache noch recherchiert findet man dazu noch weitere Meldungen - ua. auch ein Video der Pressekonferenz :!: :!: , die das (angebliche) Opfer gestern auch gegeben hat.
Lawyer for director of Usual Suspects and X-Men describes claims that the film-maker raped a teenage aspiring actor as 'absurd and defamatory'
Bryan Singer, the director of the X-Men films and The Usual Suspects, has been accused of raping a 17-year-old boy and forcing him to take cocaine in 1999 via a civil lawsuit filed in Hawaii.
Plaintiff Michael F Egan III, who has waived his right to anonymity, claims he was abused by Singer and others in Los Angeles and Hawaii during a period in which he was trying to make an acting career for himself in Hollywood. His lawyer Jeff Herman, who handles sexual abuse cases across the US, is due to hold a press conference in LA later today.
"Hollywood has a problem with the sexual exploitation of children," Herman told the Hollywood Reporter. "This is the first of many cases I will be filing to give these victims a voice and to expose the issue."
Singer, whose new X-Men film Days of Future Past opens in the US next month, has vehemently denied the allegations against him. "The claims made against Bryan Singer are completely without merit," said the director's lawyer, Marty Singer. "We are very confident that Bryan will be vindicated in this absurd and defamatory lawsuit." He added: "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."
Egan, who lives in Nevada and would now be in his early thirties, is said to have informed police about his claims. Nevertheless it is unclear why the allegations have been brought through the civil courts. He claims he was abused during "sordid parties" after arriving in LA from the Midwest as a young wannabe actor. The suit also alleges Singer and others threatened to make or break his career depending on his willingness to keep them happy.
Court documents claim: "Defendant, Bryan Jay Singer manipulated his power, wealth, and position in the entertainment industry to sexually abuse and exploit the underage Plaintiff through the use of drugs, alcohol, threats, and inducements which resulted in Plaintiff suffering catastrophic psychological and emotional injuries. Defendant Singer did so as part of a group of adult males similarly positioned in the entertainment industry that maintained and exploited boys in a sordid sex ring. A Hollywood mogul must not use his position to sexually exploit underage actors."
Also named in the suit, though not as a defendant, is registered sex offender Marc Collins-Rector, who Egan claims arranged for Singer to assault him at a house in Encino, California. Variety reports that Collins-Rector, the former chairman of defunct internet startup Digital Entertainment Network, pleaded guilty in 2004 to luring minors across state lines for sexual acts.
Egan is asking for unspecified damages on the grounds of intentional infliction of emotional distress, battery, assault and invasion of privacy by unreasonable intrusion. Police departments in LA and Honolulu have yet to confirm whether they have received his complaint.

There's been a slang term for Singer's boy toys for many years: they are called "The Ducklings". That's because they follow Singer around, like ducklings do their momma. Singer supplies them with money and likes them young and sweet like little ducklings…and gets new ones when they stop looking so cute and young. He had a pair of twin ducklings for a while and is always getting a new batch of them.Es gibt natürlich auch (angeblich) zahlreiche Bilder von Brian mit seinen "Ducklings" - wobei es ja an sich kein Verbrechen ist, Twinks zu daten .. das können ja auch volljährige Männer sein, die nur Jung aussehen. Aber whatever - die ganze Geschichte ist ziemlich creepy und wie gesagt, ließt man sich Kommentare durch, scheint zumindest hier die Mehrzahl der Menschen davon überzeugt zu sein, dass die Anklage stimmt.
