The Nevada actor who publicly accused “X-Men” director Bryan Singer
of sexually abusing him when he was 15 named three other Hollywood figures on
Monday and said they too preyed on him during his teenage years.
Michael
Egan III, 31, filed new federal lawsuits on Monday that accuse Garth R. Ancier,
Gary Wayne Goddard and David Alexander Neuman of sexually assaulting him when he
was as a minor in the late '90s.
Egan and his lawyer, Jeff Herman, who
previously represented victims in the molestation lawsuits against “Sesame
Street” puppeteer Kevin Clash, said the three men were allegedly part, along
with Singer, of a “sordid sex ring” that preyed on teenage boys seeking stardom
in Tinseltown. They allegedly attended “notorious parties” in Los Angeles and
Hawaii, where underage boys were “groomed” to be sexually victimized and plied
with drugs, alcohol and gifts — and sometimes subjected to violence, according
to Egan and his lawyer.
Efforts to reach the three men for comment were
not immediately successful....
Egan filed a separate federal lawsuit last
week against the “X-Men” director, claiming that Singer repeatedly sexually
abused him when he was a vulnerable teen in the late '90s. The accusations
include forced sodomy.
Singer has denied the allegations, and his lawyer
raising the possibility of a counter suit....

Accuser -- Alleged Sex Abuse Victim Accuses 3 More Hollywood
Honchos4/21/2014 BY TMZ STAFF
The man who has sued "X-Men"
director Bryan Singer -- claiming he was sexually assaulted when he was 15 --
has just filed lawsuits against 3 other Hollywood big wigs, also claiming sexual
assault.
The 3 men named in the new lawsuit are Garth Ancier, David
Neuman and Gary Goddard.
Ancier has a slew of hits under his belt,
including The Ricki Lake Show, which he created. He headed up the Fox
entertainment group and produced 21 Jump Street, Married ... with Children, The
Simpsons and In Living Color. He also developed Home Improvement at
Disney. And at NBC he put The West Wing on the air.
Neuman is the
former president of Disney TV. Goddard produced off-Broadway shows.
According to the new lawsuits, Ancier sexually abused Egan numerous
times by sodomizing him, forcing oral sex and fondling him -- when he was 15 at
an Encino estate. The suit goes on to allege Ancier sexually abused
Egan in Hawaii 2 years later.
The suit against Goddard and Neuman are
similar -- alleging they were part of a Hollywood sex ring, giving Egan alcohol
and drugs and sexually assaulted him at the Encino estate and in
Hawaii....
The state of Hawaii has allowed alleged victims of sexual
assault to sue, even if the statute of limitations has long since expired -- but
the deadline for filing is Thursday.
