“X-Men” director Bryan Singer is being accused of “sexual abuse” of a teenage boy in a lawsuit filed Wednesday, according to court documents obtained by TheWrap.

According to the lawsuit filed in federal court in Hawaii, plaintiff Michael Egan, who was named in a press release by his lawyers, was 17 when he was forcibly sodomized by Singer, among other accusations.

The suit alleges Singer provided Egan with drugs and alcohol and flew him to Hawaii for sex on more than one occasion in 1999 and claims that Egan was not the only underage boy who was abused.

The abuse allegedly began in 1998, shortly after Egan was lured to parties at a house where a high school friend lived, the lawsuit claims. The house, known as the M & C Estate, was often the site of “notorious parties” where adult males allegedly preyed on young boys.

Attorney Jeff Herman said*he planned to file more lawsuits against Singer and others involved in the alleged parties.

“Hollywood has a problem with the sexual exploitation of children,” Herman said. “This is the first of many cases I will be filing to give these victims a voice and to expose the issue.”

A representative for Singer did not immediately respond to TheWrap's request for comment.

Herman previously represented the five plaintiffs who accused Sesame Street Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash of sexually abusing them. Three of the suits were dismissed due to the statute of limitations running out, however, the plaintiffs vowed to appeal. One other plaintiff dropped his complaint, and a fifth plaintiff's suit is currently active.

Clash resigned from Sesame Street in November 2012, after the second accuser filed suit against him.

More to come…

Of course stuff like this has been going on in Hollywood for years, but it takes for someone to finally come forward for it to ever get attention.

They will settle out of court and nothing will happen.

If this turns out to be true, then my respect for Singer will evaporate. However, the timing of the matter seems a little convenient, considering DOFP will be released in a month.

 

[Eddie Dean]

There's been rumors about Singer and young boys for years. Parties that Singer and Roland Emmerich throw are infamous in Hollywood.

You have to be joking.

[Whiskey Tango]

Yikes.

Hey, I'm no J.J. Hunsecker, I just know what I've heard.

my initial reaction was to go ''huh'' but for some reason I could have sworn Ive heard this story long ago involving Singer.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I think there was a lawsuit involving Apt Pupil.

 

[MrsKent26]

Whoa. Is this real life?

Didn't see this coming.

 

[Leenie]

Until otherwise is 100% confirmed, I will be boycotting X-Men: Days of Future Past.

For now, though? Bryan Singer is on my **** list. If all of this is true, he deserves all of the misery he gets.

 

[Lencho01]

The first of many cases? Hmm...

Dude seriously needs to learn the definition of "no"
